My husband has only been taking Aciphex for less than two years (vs. my taking Pepcid, Prevacid, or Aciphex for over twenty years), and he has a full head of hair with no noticeable recent thinning. Years ago I took a beta blocker for migraine prevention, and I noticed hair loss from that, so we discontinued it. This is the first I've heard of it causing hair loss probably because it is said to be a rare side effect.
I have never heard of it either. Hopefully, the prenatal vitamins that have me growing hair like an ape will keep me in check until he gets here.
