Cyra 40 Tablet

Cyra 40 Tablet contains rabeprazole 40 mg in each tablet. It is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Cyra 40 Tablet is prescribed for acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and other problems caused by excess stomach acid.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Cyra 40 Tablet blocks the acid pumps in the lining of the stomach, which lowers acid production. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed whole and then works after being absorbed to help relieve acid irritation and allow the esophagus or stomach lining to heal.

Cyra 40 Tablet is the higher-strength rabeprazole tablet in the Cyra line, compared with the standard Cyra Tablet. Because it delivers 40 mg per tablet, it is typically chosen for adults who need stronger acid suppression or who have not responded well to a lower dose. This strength should be used only when a clinician has decided that the 40 mg tablet is appropriate for the person’s condition.

• GERD and heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer prevention or treatment
• Acid reflux symptoms
• Conditions with too much stomach acid

• Swallow Cyra 40 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Try to take the tablet at the same time each day for best effect.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose.
• Follow the exact schedule your prescriber gives, since this is the 40 mg strength.

Each Cyra 40 Tablet provides rabeprazole 40 mg per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily, and some patients may need a different schedule only if their doctor specifically prescribes it. Do not exceed the amount your clinician recommends; the doctor decides the dose based on your symptoms and diagnosis.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
