Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet

Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which lower the amount of acid your stomach makes. Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used for other doctor-directed acid-reduction needs.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet blocks the proton pumps in the stomach lining that release acid. By lowering acid production, the tablet helps relieve heartburn, allows damaged tissue to heal, and helps prevent acid from coming back up into the esophagus.

Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet is the standard full-strength tablet in this brand and is the only strength available in this product line. For many adults, 20 mg is the dose a doctor may choose when a strong, once-daily acid-reducing effect is needed, so it is not a lower starter strength in this brand. Because it is a tablet rather than a liquid or other form, it is taken by mouth and is meant for people who can swallow tablets whole.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Duodenal ulcer

• Swallow Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it before a meal, as directed by your doctor, to help it work best.

Each Rabeveto 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily, and in some cases a doctor may prescribe it more than once a day; the maximum daily amount should be set by the prescriber and should not be exceeded without medical advice. The right dose and duration depend on your diagnosis, age, other medicines, and how you respond to treatment.

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