rabeprazole
Rabeprazole is a medication that reduces stomach acid production by blocking a specific enzyme in the stomach lining. This helps treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By lowering acid levels, rabeprazole soothes symptoms such as heartburn, prevents acid-related damage, and promotes healing of ulcers. It is typically taken once daily and may take a few days to show full effect. As with any medication, it's important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and discuss any concerns or side effects.
