Physirab 20 mg Tablet EC

Physirab 20 mg Tablet EC is a prescription gastro health medicine that contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each enteric-coated tablet. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers stomach acid production. Physirab 20 mg Tablet EC is used for acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. Because it is enteric-coated, the tablet is designed to pass through the stomach before releasing the medicine.

How it works: Rabeprazole works by blocking the acid-producing pump in the lining of the stomach, which helps reduce how much acid is made. In this enteric-coated tablet form, the coating protects the medicine from breaking down too early so it can be absorbed properly after swallowing.

Physirab 20 mg Tablet EC is the full 20 mg rabeprazole strength, which is a commonly used adult dose for acid suppression. Since there are no other Physirab strengths or forms listed here, this product represents the exact tablet a doctor may choose when a standard-strength rabeprazole tablet is appropriate for treatment and maintenance.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcers
• Duodenal ulcers
• Conditions with too much stomach acid

• Swallow Physirab 20 mg Tablet EC whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split the enteric-coated tablet.
• Take it exactly as your doctor directs, usually before a meal.
• Try to take it 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 double up.
• Do not take it with food if your prescriber instructed you to take it on an empty stomach.

Each Physirab 20 mg Tablet EC provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. The doctor decides how often you should take it based on your condition; many patients take it once daily, and some may need a different schedule depending on the diagnosis and response. Do not exceed the dose your prescriber recommends, because the right daily maximum depends on the reason for use.

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