Rablet 20 MG Description
Rablet 20 tablet is used to provide relief from acidity and heartburn due to stomach acid reflux. It is also used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers caused due to acid reflux disease and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. It contains rabeprazole, belonging to the "Proton pump inhibitor" class of medicine. Razo 20 tablet, Cyra 20 tablet, Veloz 20 tablet, Rabekind 20 tablet, and Rabium 20 tablet are some other brands containing rabeprazole as a main component.
Rablet 20 reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Rabeprazole acts by blocking the action of proton pumps present in the stomach wall, which are responsible for acid production. You should take this medicine preferably in the morning 30 minutes before meals.
A lifestyle change would help in controlling your acidity well. Avoid alcohol and smoking, excessive consumption of soft drinks, citrus juices, tea and coffee (caffeinated drinks), and spicy, oily and fast foods. You should avoid eating late at night or just before going to bed.
