REKOOL 20 MG 15CAP 15

About

REKOOL 20 MG typically refers to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication, such as Rabeprazole, Pantoprazole, or Omeprazole, at a strength of 20mg. PPIs are a class of drugs that work by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, also known as the proton pump, which is responsible for the final step in gastric acid secretion in the stomach's parietal cells. This action leads to a significant and prolonged reduction in the production of stomach acid, making it highly effective in treating various acid-related gastrointestinal disorders.

The 20mg strength is commonly used for the management of mild to moderate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), treatment of peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal), and for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in combination with antibiotics. By reducing stomach acid, it helps to alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion, while also promoting the healing of esophageal and gastric lesions. It is generally well-tolerated, but long-term use should be monitored by a healthcare professional.
