Question almost 6 years ago

What is Rabemed?

Dr. Yogesh Kumar MBBS , General Physician

Rabemed is a brand name for rabeprazole. It belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors. It is available in the form of a tablet, capsule, and injection. Rabemed is used to alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). GERD is a condition in which acid back-flows from the stomach to the esophagus (the tube which connects the stomach with throat) causing heartburn and injury to the esophagus. Rabemed is used to prevent this damage. Rabemed is also used to treat conditions like Zollinger Ellison syndrome (excessive acid is produced by the stomach). It is used for the treatment of ulcers (sores in the lining of stomach and intestine) and also used in combination with other antibiotics (such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin) to manage H.pylori infection.
