Rekool 20 Tablet

Rekool 20 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains rabeprazole 20 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Rekool 20 Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used for other conditions when a doctor wants to reduce stomach acid.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rekool 20 Tablet works by blocking the acid pumps in the stomach lining, which helps reduce acid production. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed whole so the medicine can be released properly and work in the digestive tract.

Rekool 20 Tablet is the 20 mg strength, which is a commonly used prescription strength for adults who need acid suppression but may not need the higher 40 mg dose. Compared with Rekool 40 Tablet, this lower strength may be chosen for milder symptoms, maintenance treatment, or when a doctor wants to start with less medicine and adjust if needed.
