Patients with gastroenteritis can take enteric-coated capsules of sodium rabeprazole. Gastroenteritis usually causes symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating. It is recommended that patients take medication under the guidance of a doctor; taking medication blindly may worsen the condition and hinder recovery. During treatment, patients should increase their fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
