Rabeprazole 40mg + Levosulpiride 75mg — Uses and Benefits

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

HOW IT WORKS

• Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid the stomach produces

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for simple occasional heartburn without other digestive symptoms
• Not a treatment for ulcers caused by infection alone without acid-related component
• Not intended for long-term use without medical supervision
