RABEPRAZOLE Na Tablets[SAWAI] 10 mg are an acid secretion suppressant. They potently reduce gastric acid secretion and mitigate its harmful effects. As a result, they promote healing of gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and relieve stomach pain and heartburn. They are also effective for gastric ulcers caused by aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
In addition, they are used as part of eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium responsible for various gastric lesions including gastritis and peptic ulcers. In this use, Pariet is combined with two other antibiotics; reducing gastric acid enhances the efficacy of the antibiotics and increases eradication success rates.
*RABEPRAZOLE Na Tablets [SAWAI] 10 mg is a generic version of Pariet tablets.
