Rabesec Tablet 20 mg contains Rabeprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. Rabeprazole works by reducing gastric acid secretion, helping to relieve symptoms of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. It is also prescribed for the treatment of erosive esophagitis and for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori when used in combination with antibiotics.

Rabesec 20 mg is formulated for oral administration and provides fast-acting and long-lasting acid suppression, improving digestive comfort and promoting the healing of damaged gastric and esophageal tissues.

Mechanism of Action

Rabeprazole, the active ingredient, is a selective proton pump inhibitor that:

• Binds to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system (proton pump) in the gastric parietal cells

• Irreversibly inhibits acid secretion, reducing both basal and stimulated gastric acid production

• Increases gastric pH, providing symptom relief from acid-related disorders

• Allows healing of ulcers and erosions in the stomach and esophagus

By directly targeting the proton pump, Rabeprazole offers potent and sustained acid suppression, superior to H2 receptor antagonists for long-term management.

Rabesec Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive esophagitis

• Part of combination therapy for H. pylori eradication, usually with antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin

• Heartburn, acid regurgitation, and dyspepsia associated with excessive gastric acid
