CompositionRebaheal Tablet is used to help heal stomach (gastric) ulcers and to treat damage to the stomach lining in acute gastritis and flare-ups of chronic gastritis. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing rebamipide 100mg, which belongs to a class of medicines called gastroprotective (mucosal protective) agents.
This medicine increases the stomach's own protective substances and mucus, improves blood flow to the stomach lining, and helps damaged areas heal. It does not reduce acid, so it is often used together with acid-reducing medicines. Take it usually three times a day, as prescribed by your doctor.
Eating regular, smaller meals, avoiding spicy and fatty foods, and cutting down on alcohol, smoking and painkillers such as ibuprofen can help the stomach lining heal.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any liver problems and other medicines you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Rarely, it can affect the liver or blood counts, so contact your doctor if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bruising, fever or sore throat. Seek medical help straight away for black stools, vomiting of blood or severe stomach pain. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
