Rezole 20 mg Tablet

Rezole 20 mg Tablet contains rabeprazole 20 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which lower the amount of acid your stomach makes. Doctors prescribe Rezole 20 mg Tablet for acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, stomach ulcers, and other problems caused by too much stomach acid. It is manufactured by Ritz Pharma and comes as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Rezole 20 mg Tablet blocks the acid-producing pump in the stomach lining, which helps reduce acid levels and allows irritated tissue to heal. Taking it as a tablet makes it easy to swallow and helps the medicine release after it passes through the stomach to work on acid production.

Rezole 20 mg Tablet is the standard prescription strength of rabeprazole used for many adults who need acid suppression. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet represents the full dose available in this product line and is typically chosen when a doctor wants once-daily acid control with a single 20 mg tablet. It may be preferred when symptoms are persistent or when a prescriber wants a dose that is stronger than over-the-counter acid reducers but still within routine rabeprazole treatment.

• Avoid using it as an instant relief medicine for sudden heartburn; it works best with regular use.

Each Rezole 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of rabeprazole. The doctor decides how often it should be taken based on the condition being treated, but it is commonly prescribed once daily in adults; some conditions may require a different schedule. Do not take more than the maximum daily dose your prescriber recommends, because the correct dose depends on your diagnosis and response to treatment.

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