Drug introduction

Rabeprazole is a drug used to treat stomach ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is a proton pump inhibitor that can reduce gastric acid secretion and help relieve gastric discomfort and pain. Rabeprazole is also used to prevent the recurrence of gastric ulcers and to treat Helicobacter pylori infection. In Hong Kong, rabeprazole is usually used as a prescription drug and must be used under the guidance of a doctor. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, and nausea, but are tolerated by most patients. While using rabeprazole, you should follow your doctor's advice, take the medication as directed, and have regular check-ups. If serious adverse reactions occur or if allergic reactions are suspected, seek medical attention immediately. Rabeprazole is an effective gastric medication, but patients should follow their doctor's recommendations to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Dosage Guidelines: The generally recommended starting dose for adults is 20 mg daily. Depending on the severity of the condition and individual tolerance, the physician may adjust the dose to 40 mg daily. For pediatric patients, the dosage will be based on age and weight, and the appropriate dosage should be determined according to the instructions of the physician. Elderly patients usually do not require dosage adjustments, but should pay close attention to drug reactions. During any dosage adjustment, patients should follow the physician's advice and should not increase or decrease the dosage on their own.
