REBAMPEE TABLET

REBAMPEE is a tablet containing rebamipide (100 mg), marketed in India by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.

Rebamipide is a gastroprotective (mucosal protective) medicine. Unlike acid-suppressing drugs such as PPIs and H2 blockers, it does not mainly lower acid. Instead, it strengthens the stomach's own defences. Research shows it:

• Increases mucus production and improves the quality of the protective mucus layer
• Boosts prostaglandin levels in the stomach lining, which support blood flow and repair
• Acts as a free-radical scavenger, reducing oxidative damage to stomach cells
• Reduces inflammation, including inflammation triggered by H. pylori and NSAIDs
• Supports healing of damaged tissue

Doctors commonly prescribe it for gastritis, gastric ulcers and as part of care for people at risk of stomach injury from medicines such as NSAIDs. It is often prescribed alongside an acid-suppressing medicine, as decided by the doctor.

Product Information 

Why Is Rebamipide Important?

1. It strengthens the stomach's natural defences: Acid is not the only factor in stomach damage. A thin or weakened mucus layer leaves tissue exposed. Rebamipide helps rebuild that barrier.

2. It supports ulcer and gastritis healing: By improving blood flow, mucus and tissue repair, rebamipide supports healing of the stomach lining, which can make recovery more complete.

3. It protects against NSAID-related damage: Painkillers such as diclofenac, ibuprofen and aspirin are widely used in India for joint pain, back pain and fever. They reduce protective prostaglandins and can injure the stomach lining. Rebamipide may help protect it when NSAID therapy is necessary, under medical guidance.

4. It complements acid-lowering therapy: Acid suppression and mucosal protection work in different ways. Used together, they can offer a more complete approach for many patients.

5. It helps with H. pylori-related inflammation: H. pylori infection is common in India and is a major cause of gastritis and ulcers. Rebamipide has shown anti-inflammatory activity on infected stomach tissue and may be used as an add-on to standard treatment, as prescribed.

Key Benefits
