If any such abnormality is observed, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate measures taken. It has been reported that hemolytic anemia occurred with analogous compounds (omeprazole and lansoprazole).
Hepatic function disorders: Hepatic function disorders (5% > ≥10%) or jaundice (incidence unknown) may occur. If any such abnormality is observed, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate measures taken.
Interstitial pneumonia: Interstitial pneumonia (incidence unknown) may occur. If symptoms such as fever, coughing, dyspnoea and abnormal lung sounds (crepitations) occur, thoracic radiography or other examination should be performed immediately.

In most instances, the relationship to sodium rabeprazole was unclear. In addition, agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, pancytopenia and thrombocytopenia have been reported. Increases in prothrombin time/INR in patients treated with concomitant warfarin have been reported.
