Sonirab 20 Tablet

Sonirab 20 Tablet is a prescription gastrointestinal medicine containing rabeprazole 20 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Sonirab 20 Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Sonirab 20 Tablet blocks the acid pumps in the stomach lining, which reduces the amount of acid released after meals and between meals. This tablet form is swallowed whole so the medicine can be absorbed properly and then work throughout the day to reduce acid exposure.

Sonirab 20 Tablet is a standard adult strength of rabeprazole, not a lower starter dose. Because each tablet contains 20 mg, a doctor may choose it when a full-strength PPI dose is needed for symptom control or healing, rather than a milder strength if one were available. It may start easing acid symptoms within hours, but the full effect can take a few days of regular use.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Healing erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer treatment
• Duodenal ulcer treatment
• Acid reflux symptom control

• Swallow Sonirab 20 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it before a meal, preferably before breakfast, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to keep acid control steady.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose.
• If your doctor prescribes it with other medicines, take each one exactly as directed.
• Follow the full course even if your heartburn improves quickly.

Each Sonirab 20 Tablet provides rabeprazole 20 mg per tablet. The usual frequency is once daily for many acid-related conditions, but some patients may need a different schedule depending on the condition being treated and their medical history. Do not exceed the dose your doctor prescribes; your clinician decides the correct daily amount and duration for this strength.

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