Smorab-20 is a brand name for a medication containing 20 mg of rabeprazole sodium, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid production. It is a prescription medicine used to treat various acid-related conditions of the stomach and intestine.
Uses
Smorab-20 (rabeprazole 20 mg tablet) is prescribed by doctors to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) / Acid Reflux: Manages symptoms like heartburn, chest discomfort, and the flow of stomach acid back into the food pipe (esophagus).
- Peptic Ulcer Disease: Helps heal ulcers (sores) in the stomach (gastric ulcers) and the upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers) and prevents them from returning.
- Erosive Oesophagitis: Promotes the healing of damage to the lining of the food pipe caused by stomach acid.
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection: Used in combination with specific antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria that cause ulcers.
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Controls the excessive acid production in the stomach caused by a rare disorder involving a tumor.
- Prevention of NSAID-induced ulcers: Helps prevent stomach ulcers and acidity that can occur with the prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (painkillers).
