Tagus Tablet 20 mg is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) containing Rabeprazole Sodium 20 mg. It is used to reduce excessive stomach acid production and treat acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and gastritis. By lowering acid secretion, it helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach irritation while promoting healing of the stomach and esophagus.

Tagus Tablet 20 mg is commonly used when stronger acid suppression is required compared to lower-dose formulations.
