Superia Tablet

Superia Tablet is a prescription tablet containing rabeprazole as labelled in each tablet. Rabeprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Superia Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. The pack contains a strip/box of 10 tablets from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

How it works: Superia Tablet works by blocking the acid pump in the stomach lining, which reduces stomach acid production. As a tablet, it is swallowed whole so the rabeprazole can be released and absorbed in a way that helps control acid symptoms and support healing.

Because Superia Tablet is a higher-strength rabeprazole tablet, it is generally used when a doctor wants more acid suppression than lower strengths can provide. It may be chosen for people with more severe symptoms, healing needs, or when a maintenance dose is not enough. Since there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, the usual dosing plan depends on the condition being treated and the prescriber’s judgment.

• GERD and heartburn
• Healing erosive esophagitis
• Duodenal ulcer
• Gastric ulcer
• Acid-related irritation of the stomach
• Part of H. pylori treatment plans when prescribed with antibiotics

• Swallow Superia Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically tells you to.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Try to take Superia Tablet at the same time each day for best results.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not use extra tablets for sudden heartburn relief unless your doctor says to do so; this medicine is meant for regular control, not instant relief.

Each Superia Tablet contains rabeprazole as labelled on the pack, and the exact tablet strength is the one your doctor has selected for you. It may be taken once daily for many conditions, though some patients may need a different schedule based on diagnosis and response; the maximum amount per day should follow the prescriber’s instructions, since the dose is individualized.

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