About Rapro Tablet (Rabeprazole):

Rapro Tablet contains Rabeprazole as the active ingredient, used in treating conditions like Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and other acidity-related disorders by reducing stomach acid production.

The acid backflow irritates the esophagus, leading to inflammation and symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, and a sensation of a lump in the throat. Rapro Tablet should be taken strictly as prescribed by a doctor and can be found at leading pharmacies and drugstores.
