Description

Zechin 20mg is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medicine containing Rabeprazole as its active ingredient. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, helping to relieve symptoms of acidity, heal existing damage to the stomach lining, and prevent acid-related complications. It is commonly prescribed for various gastric and digestive acid disorders.

Ingredients

Each tablet of Zechin contains:

• Rabeprazole Sodium – 20mg
• Standard pharmaceutical excipients required for tablet formulation and enteric coating

Dosage Form

Zechin is available as an oral, enteric-coated tablet, packaged in a strip of 14 tablets per box.

Uses

Zechin 20mg is used in the management of:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
• Gastric (stomach) ulcers
• Duodenal ulcers
• Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, usually combined with antibiotics
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a condition involving excess stomach acid production
• Prevention of stress-related ulcers

How to Use

Zechin tablets are usually taken once daily, typically in the morning before the first meal, unless your doctor advises otherwise. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water — do not crush, chew, or split it, as this may affect how the medicine is released in the body. Consistency in timing helps maintain steady acid control throughout the day. Always follow the exact dosage and duration prescribed by your physician.

Side Effects

Most people tolerate Zechin well, but some may experience mild side effects such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, or dizziness. Less commonly, it may cause dry mouth, rash, or changes in appetite. Long-term use at high doses may be associated with reduced vitamin B12 absorption or bone density changes. If you notice severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Zechin should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if clearly advised by a doctor, after weighing the potential benefits against possible risks to the baby. There is limited data confirming its complete safety in these conditions, so self-medication should be avoided, and your doctor should be informed of your pregnancy or breastfeeding status before starting treatment.

Storage Instructions

Store Zechin tablets at room temperature, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the strip in its original packaging until ready to use, and store out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the pack.
