What’s it Used For?
Rabenorm Tablet is prescribed for various conditions related to excess stomach acid, including:
- Peptic Ulcer Disease: This includes ulcers in the stomach (gastric ulcer) and the first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer).
- H. pylori Infection: It’s often used as part of a multi-drug regimen to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can cause ulcers.
- Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A common condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and irritation. This also includes Erosive Oesophagitis, a more severe form of GERD where the esophageal lining is damaged.

- Severe Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe liver problems.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss with your doctor. It’s unknown if Rabeprazole is distributed into breast milk, so caution is advised.
