Rabigo 20 mg Capsule

Rabigo 20 mg Capsule contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each capsule. It belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Rabigo 20 mg Capsule is used for acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used in certain people for other doctor-directed acid suppression needs.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rabigo 20 mg Capsule blocks the acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining, which lowers stomach acid. By reducing acid, the capsule helps relieve heartburn, supports healing of irritated tissue, and can prevent acid damage from coming back.

Rabigo 20 mg Capsule is a full-strength rabeprazole capsule and is typically used when a doctor decides that this amount is appropriate for symptom control or healing. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Rabigo listed here, this product represents the standard adult capsule presentation, not a lower-dose or starter version. A clinician may choose Rabigo 20 mg Capsule based on the condition being treated, symptom severity, and how well you respond to acid reduction.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Healing and maintenance of erosive esophagitis
• Duodenal or stomach ulcers
• Short-term acid suppression as directed by a doctor
• Part of treatment plans for certain H. pylori regimens when prescribed

• Swallow Rabigo 20 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it unless your prescriber gives specific instructions.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, because PPIs work best when taken on an empty stomach.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Take it exactly as prescribed for the full course, even if your symptoms improve quickly.
• Use the capsule only as labeled for this strength; it is not meant to be split into smaller doses.
• If your doctor gave special directions for swallowing difficulty, follow those instructions carefully.

Each Rabigo 20 mg Capsule provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. Depending on the condition, it may be taken once daily, and in some cases a doctor may prescribe it twice daily; the exact schedule and maximum daily dose should be set by the prescriber for your situation. Do not take more than directed, because the right dose depends on the diagnosis, age, other medicines, and how you respond.

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