Such questions are best answered by the doctor who prescribed this medicine.
Personally I don't mind if the Pharmacist gives the medicine with same molecule (which I have prescribed) even if it is from a different Pharma Company but there are some doctors who write on their prescription pad,
"No substitute please".
They have their reasons, I have mine.
So please ask the doctor who prescribed.

Those are different medicine intended to do the same work.
Now it is upto your physician who prescribed you medication.
But for the time being , it is okay to take Rabeprazole in place of esomeorazole.
But ask your doctor when possible. Not an emergency
