WHAT RABEPRAZOLE SANDOZ IS USED FOR This medicine contains the active ingredient rabeprazole sodium. Rabeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach makes, to give relief from the symptoms and allow healing to take place. Your food will still be digested in the normal way. GASTRO-OESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GORD) This can be caused by food and acid from the stomach flowing the wrong way (reflux) back up the food pipe, also known as the oesophagus. Reflux can cause a burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat, also known as heartburn. Rabeprazole sodium is also used to help stop reflux oesophagitis from coming back or relapsing. GASTRIC AND DUODENAL ULCERS Depending on the position of the ulcer it is called a gastric or duodenal ulcer. A gastric ulcer occurs in the stomach. A duodenal ulcer occurs in the duodenum which is the tube leading out of the stomach. These ulcers can be caused by too much acid being made in the stomach. Most people who have a peptic ulcer also have a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori in their stomach. Your doctor may also prescribe a course of antibiotics (clarithromycin and amoxycillin) for you. When this medicine is taken with antibiotics, the combination therapy will kill the Helicobacter pylori and let your ulcer heal. CHRONIC GASTRITIS The Прочетете целия документ
