Rekool 40 Tablet

Rekool 40 Tablet contains rabeprazole 40 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Rekool 40 Tablet is used for acid-related conditions such as GERD, heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be prescribed for other doctor-directed acid suppression needs.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rekool 40 Tablet blocks the acid-producing pumps in the lining of the stomach. This tablet lowers stomach acid so irritation can heal and symptoms like burning, sour taste, and pain can improve.

Rekool 40 Tablet is a higher-strength rabeprazole tablet than Rekool 20 Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants stronger acid suppression or when symptoms are not controlled with a lower dose. Because this is the 40 mg strength, it is meant for patients specifically evaluated by a clinician rather than for casual or self-directed use.

• GERD and acid reflux
• Heartburn relief
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer treatment
• Duodenal ulcer treatment
• Doctor-directed acid suppression

• Swallow Rekool 40 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Take it before a meal, preferably before breakfast, because rabeprazole works best when taken on an empty stomach.
• If your doctor prescribes it twice daily, take the doses as spaced out by your prescriber.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; take the next dose at the regular time.
• Follow the exact length of treatment your doctor gives you, even if symptoms improve sooner.

Each Rekool 40 Tablet provides rabeprazole 40 mg per tablet. The doctor decides how often it should be taken, commonly once daily, but some patients may need a different schedule for short-term treatment or maintenance. Do not take more than the prescribed number of tablets per day unless your clinician specifically instructs you to do so.

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