What is Rabeprazole Sodium?
Rabeprazole Sodium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production, primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and duodenal ulcers. By inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the gastric parietal cell surface, it effectively decreases gastric acidity, thus providing relief from symptoms like heartburn and preventing acid-related damage to the esophagus and stomach lining.Side Effects
