Uses of Mac Rabonik 40 MG Capsule

What is it prescribed for?
Erosive Esophagitis
Esophagitis is the swelling of the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It occurs when excess acid produced in the stomach flow back into the oesophagus. It can also be caused due to an infection or irritation in the oesophagus. All these reasons can irritate and damage the lining of the oesophagus, resulting in a condition called erosive oesophagitis. Mac Rabonik 40 MG Capsule is used to treat erosive esophagitis by decreasing stomach acid production.
Gastroesophagal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is an acid reflux disease that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus or food pipe. Heartburn and acid indigestion are the main symptoms of GERD. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications to an extent. But sometimes medications or surgery is needed to get relief. Mac Rabonik 40 MG Capsule helps in the treatment of GERD by decreasing stomach acid production.
Helicobacter pylori Infection
Helicobacter Pylori infection or H. Pylori infection is caused by a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori that infect your stomach. H. Pylori grows inside the protective layer of the stomach lining and are less exposed to stomach acids. It is a very common infection and also the cause of gastritis (swelling of the lining of the stomach) and peptic ulcer disease. This infection can be transmitted from person to person, especially when an infected person does not wash their hands properly after a bowel movement. Mac Rabonik 40 MG Capsule in combination with antibiotics are used to treat and prevent Helicobacter Pylori infection.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a condition in which tumours form in the pancreas (an organ located behind the stomach) and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). These tumours produce a hormone called gastrin which in turn causes excessive stomach acid. Mac Rabonik 40 MG Capsule is used to treat an excessive amount of acid produced in the stomach due to tumours.
Gastric and duodenal ulcers
Mac Rabonik 40 MG Capsule is used to treat ulcers of the stomach (Gastric) and small intestine (Duodenal) caused due to increased stomach acid production. It is also used to prevent ulcers caused by stress.
