Rabez L Tablet (Levosulpiride 75mg / Rabeprazole 20mg)

Rabez L Tablet belongs to a group of combination medication called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus), thereby causing hyperacidity, stomach pain and heartburn.Rabez L Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent) and Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor).

Rabeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. Together, Rabez L Tablet helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby provides relief from acidity and heartburn.
