Medicinal Benefits

Rafron Total Tablet is used to treat nausea, vomiting, stomach ulcers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn and erosive oesophagitis. It contains Rabeprazole and Ondansetron. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that blocks the action of the gastric proton pump that is responsible for acid production in the stomach. Ondansetron is an anti-emetic drug. It works by blocking the action of serotonin (chemical messenger) that triggers nausea and vomiting. Thus, collectively Rafron Total Tablet prevents nausea and vomiting, reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers, and prevents new ulcers. Rafron Total Tablet is also used to treat infections caused by Helicobacter pylori and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
