Raboset 20 mg Capsule

Raboset 20 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each capsule. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Raboset 20 mg Capsule is used to treat acid-related conditions such as GERD, heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. Your doctor may also prescribe rabeprazole for other acid-related problems when a reduced-acid environment is needed.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Raboset 20 mg Capsule blocks the acid pump in the stomach lining, which reduces acid production at the source. Because it is a capsule, it is designed to be swallowed whole so the medicine can be delivered properly before it starts working in the digestive tract.

Raboset 20 mg Capsule is a standard adult strength of rabeprazole and is commonly used when a doctor wants the full prescription dose in a convenient capsule form. It is not a lower-dose starter product; compared with smaller strengths used in some regimens, the 20 mg capsule provides the amount typically used for treatment rather than a minimal trial dose. The exact schedule depends on your condition, how severe your symptoms are, and how you respond.

• GERD
• Heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer
• Duodenal ulcer
• Other acid-related conditions

• Swallow Raboset 20 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically tells you to.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, because it works best when taken on an empty stomach.
• If your doctor prescribes it once daily, take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow the exact course your doctor gives you, even if symptoms improve before the treatment is finished.

Each Raboset 20 mg Capsule provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. Many adults take it once daily, but some conditions may require a different schedule; the doctor decides the dose and duration based on the diagnosis and response. Do not take more than prescribed, even though 20 mg is a common full treatment strength.

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