Description

Forulce Tablet contains Rabeprazole which is used to treat Peptic Ulcer, Duodenal Ulcer, NSAID Induced Gastritis, Dyspepsia, and Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).  It gives relief to the symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, heartburn, and persistent coughing. This medicine helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus and helps prevent ulcers. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Rabeprazole has 2- to 10-fold greater antisecretory activity than omeprazole. Rabeprazole appears to be a well-tolerated proton pump inhibitor with a rapid onset of action.

Mode of action
