Rabigut Tablet 20 mg contains Rabeprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excessive gastric acid secretion. It is widely prescribed for acid-related gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and dyspepsia. By lowering stomach acid production, it helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach irritation while promoting healing of the gastric and esophageal lining.
