Roles 20 Tablet

Roles 20 Tablet is a medicine used to reduce excess stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like acid reflux, heartburn, stomach ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By lowering acid levels, it provides relief from discomfort and helps in the healing of the stomach and food pipe lining.

How it Works
