Zechin (10mg) 14 Tablets

Overview

Zechin 10mg Tablets are an acid-suppressing prescription medicine containing rabeprazole sodium. Rabeprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor class of medicines, often called PPIs. It works by reducing acid production in the stomach and is commonly used for acid-related digestive conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, acid reflux, heartburn, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and other conditions where excessive stomach acid contributes to symptoms or tissue irritation.

This product is supplied as a pack of 14 tablets. The correct dose, timing, and treatment duration depend on the diagnosed condition, symptom severity, age, response to treatment, other medicines being taken, and the patient’s medical history. Zechin should be used only under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.
