Rabemac 20 Tablet

Rabemac 20 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains rabeprazole 20 mg in each tablet. Rabeprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Rabemac 20 Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rabemac 20 Tablet blocks the stomach’s acid pumps, so your stomach produces less acid overall. By lowering acid, this tablet helps reduce burning, protects irritated tissue, and gives ulcers or inflamed areas time to heal.

Rabemac 20 Tablet is the 20 mg strength, which is a standard adult tablet strength and is commonly used when a doctor needs a full prescription dose for acid control. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, Rabemac 20 Tablet is the exact tablet your prescriber may choose when they want a once-daily rabeprazole tablet for ongoing symptom relief or ulcer healing.

• Swallow Rabemac 20 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor tells you to.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, unless your prescriber gives different directions.
• Try to take the tablet at the same time each day so the acid control is more consistent.
• 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 use it more often or for longer than prescribed, even if symptoms return.
• If your doctor also prescribed antibiotics or other ulcer medicines, take them exactly as directed along with Rabemac 20 Tablet.

Each Rabemac 20 Tablet provides rabeprazole 20 mg per tablet. The tablet may be taken once daily for many acid-related conditions, but the exact schedule and maximum daily amount depend on your diagnosis and your doctor’s plan.
