Rebagen Tablet
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Rebagen Tablet is a medicine used to treat stomach ulcers and gastritis. It increases protective mucus in the stomach, improves blood flow, and reduces inflammation. This helps heal damage caused by acid, irritation, or infection and relieves symptoms like pain, burning, and discomfort.
Take Rebagen Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. It can be taken with or without food. To get the most benefit, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and take the medicine regularly without missing doses. In addition to taking Rebagen Tablet, try to avoid spicy, oily, or acidic foods, limit alcohol intake, and manage stress, as these can irritate the stomach further. Quitting smoking, if you smoke, can also help improve your stomach health.
Some people may experience mild side effects like nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. These usually go away on their own as your body adjusts to the medicine. If the symptoms bother you or persist, talk to your doctor. Serious side effects are rare, but if you experience any unusual symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, allergic reactions, or rash, seek medical help immediately.
Before starting Rebagen Tablet, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any liver or kidney problems. Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to rebamipide or any of its ingredients. While on treatment, avoid overuse of painkillers like ibuprofen or aspirin, as they can irritate the stomach lining and slow down healing. Always inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid possible interactions.

Benefits of Rebagen Tablet
In Treatment of Stomach ulcers
Rebagen Tablet helps heal stomach ulcers by strengthening the protective lining of the stomach and promoting tissue repair. It reduces inflammation, improves blood flow to the ulcerated area, and supports natural healing without affecting acid levels. Relieving pain, discomfort, and indigestion associated with ulcers helps improve patients' ability to eat normally and carry out daily activities without the fear of recurring ulcer pain or complications.
In Treatment of Gastritis
In gastritis, Rebagen Tablet reduces inflammation of the stomach lining and restores its natural defense by increasing mucus production and suppressing harmful oxidative stress. This helps relieve common symptoms like bloating, burning sensation, nausea, and stomach discomfort. As a result, patients experience better digestion, improved appetite, and overall enhanced comfort, leading to a more balanced and symptom-free lifestyle.

Rebamipide promotes mucosal healing in stomach ulcers and gastritis by enhancing the production of prostaglandins, stimulating mucus and bicarbonate secretion, and increasing gastric mucosal blood flow. Its antioxidant properties also help reduce inflammation and oxidative damage.
