Jeprab 20 mg Tablet

Jeprab 20 mg Tablet contains rabeprazole 20 mg in each tablet. It is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Doctors prescribe Jeprab 20 mg Tablet for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, and healing or prevention of acid-related damage in the stomach and esophagus.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Jeprab 20 mg Tablet blocks the acid pumps in the stomach lining, which lowers stomach acid production. In tablet form, it is swallowed whole so the medicine can be absorbed and then work over time to reduce acid and help damaged tissue heal.
