Rabeprazole Sodium Pellets

Rabeprazole sodium pellets are a pharmaceutical formulation of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug, rabeprazole sodium. The pellets consist of small, spherical particles containing the active ingredient, which is used to treat acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease.

Rabeprazole sodium works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, which are responsible for producing acid. By reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, rabeprazole sodium can alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and stomach pain.

The pellets are usually encapsulated in a capsule or a tablet to facilitate ingestion. The pellets are designed to release the drug gradually, which allows for sustained blood levels and prolonged therapeutic effect.

Rabeprazole sodium pellets are available in different strengths and formulations, and their use should be prescribed by a healthcare provider based on the patient's medical condition, age, and other factors. As with all medications, rabeprazole sodium may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain, and patients should consult their healthcare provider if they experience any adverse effects.
