How Does It Work?

• In an average healthy individual, specific cells in the stomach get stimulated and release acid after intake of food. In certain individuals, excess of acids is secreted which may lead to acid-related stomach problems such as ulcers
• Rabeprazle belongs to the class of medicines called the proton pump inhibitors. The lining of the stomach secretes acid by certain processes that involves intake of ions via proton pump in the cells. Rabeprazole reduces the intake of the ions in the stomach cells that are necessary for the production of digestive acids in the stomach, and hence leads to reduced acid production.

Interactions with other medicines

• Certain medicines can affect the way Razo capsule works or Razo capsule itself can affect the action of other medicines taken at the same time.
