Ravier 20 mg Tablet

Ravier 20 mg Tablet contains 20 mg of rabeprazole in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Ravier 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 prescribed with other medicines to help treat H. pylori infection.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Ravier 20 mg Tablet blocks the acid-producing pump in the lining of the stomach, so less acid is released. Because it is an oral tablet, it is absorbed after swallowing and then works to lower acid production over time rather than giving instant relief.

Ravier 20 mg Tablet is the standard adult strength for rabeprazole and is the only strength available in this brand line we sell. Because it is a full-strength tablet, it is typically chosen for people who need prescription acid suppression rather than a lower-dose option. A doctor may select Ravier 20 mg Tablet when symptoms are persistent, when healing is needed, or when a once-daily tablet strength is appropriate.

• Swallow Ravier 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.

• Take it at about the same time each day to help you remember your dose.

• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose unless your prescriber instructs you to do so.

Each Ravier 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. Depending on the condition being treated, it is often taken once daily, but some patients may need a different schedule under a doctor’s direction. Do not take more than the prescribed amount per day, because the exact dose and duration should be decided by your healthcare professional.

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