Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet

Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each tablet. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Doctors use Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet blocks the stomach’s acid pump, so less acid is released into the stomach. In tablet form, it is swallowed whole and absorbed into the body, where it helps reduce acid and allows irritated tissue to heal.

Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet is the standard adult tablet strength for rabeprazole and is suitable when a doctor wants a full prescription-strength acid reducer in tablet form. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this 20 mg tablet represents the product’s usual tablet presentation rather than a lower or higher option. Your clinician may choose it based on your symptoms, diagnosis, and how well your stomach acid needs to be controlled.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Healing and maintenance of erosive esophagitis
• Duodenal ulcer treatment
• Stomach ulcer treatment
• Short-term control of excess stomach acid

• Swallow Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it before a meal, usually before eating in the morning, unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Try to take it at the same time each day so your acid control stays steady.
• If you also take antacids, ask your doctor or pharmacist how to space them from Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet.
• Do not use it more often or longer than prescribed, even if symptoms improve.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Rabejohn 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. The usual schedule is once daily for many acid-related conditions, but your doctor may prescribe a different plan depending on your diagnosis and response. Do not take more than the amount your prescriber recommends, because the right dose and duration depend on your condition.

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