Razo 20 mg Tablet

Razo 20 mg Tablet contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each tablet. It belongs to the acid reducers known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which lower the amount of acid your stomach makes. Razo 20 mg Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. A doctor may also prescribe Razo 20 mg Tablet to help prevent ulcers in certain people at higher risk.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Razo 20 mg Tablet blocks the acid-making pump in the stomach lining, which reduces stomach acid production. With less acid, the tablet helps relieve heartburn, allows irritated tissue to heal, and lowers the chance of acid-related damage.

Razo 20 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet compared with Razo 10 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants stronger acid control or when symptoms need a full therapeutic dose. Because each Razo 20 mg Tablet delivers 20 mg of rabeprazole, it is not the same as a lower-dose starter option and should be used only as directed by a clinician who has assessed your condition.
