Medicine information
Uses & overview
Rebamipide 100 mg is a gastroprotective medicine commonly used to support the treatment of certain stomach lining disorders, including gastritis and gastric ulcers. It helps strengthen the stomach's mucosal defence mechanisms by supporting mucus production, improving mucosal protection and helping the stomach lining recover from irritation and damage. Unlike medicines that primarily reduce stomach acid production, rebamipide focuses on supporting the protective barrier of the gastric mucosa. Depending on the approved indication, it may be prescribed to help manage gastric inflammation, promote ulcer healing and protect the stomach lining during treatment. The appropriate dosage and duration depend on the patient's diagnosis, medical history, symptom severity and response to treatment. Possible side effects may include constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal discomfort or other gastrointestinal symptoms. If you are searching for Rebamipide 100 mg tablets online in India, review the product label, manufacturer details, packaging and expiry date before purchasing from a reputable pharmacy or authorised supplier. Consult your doctor before starting treatment, especially if you have existing medical conditions or take other medicines. Seek medical attention for persistent abdominal pain, vomiting blood, black stools or symptoms that worsen despite treatment.
