Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Rabonik is rabeprazole,which is essentially a 'antacid'. It does not cause hormonal changes.High prolactin levels can occur in a non pregnant woman due to hormonal imbalance. It can cause menstrual irregularities. It can be treated by medication.

If you have hyperprolactenemia,then consult your doctor for medicines.

Hope I answered your query
