PRODUCT DETAILS
About Rabiriv 20mg Tablet
RABEPRAZOLE belongs to a group of antiulcer medicines called proton pump inhibitors used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), heartburn, erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus), infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
RABEPRAZOLE works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as the gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid. This helps in reducing the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.
Take RABEPRAZOLE 30 minutes prior to food. The tablet form of RABEPRAZOLE should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water; do not chew, or crush the tablet. A healthcare professional will administer the injection form of RABEPRAZOLE; do not self-administer. You are advised to take RABEPRAZOLE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, flatulence (wind), weakness, flu-like symptoms, back pain, aches, and infection, difficulty sleeping, cough, sore throat, and runny nose. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Inform your doctor before taking RABEPRAZOLE if you have a stomach tumour or liver disease. On long-term treatment, RABEPRAZOLE may cause low magnesium levels, and vitamin B12 levels and increase the risk of bone fractures. Do not take RABEPRAZOLE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. RABEPRAZOLE may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so drive only if you are alert. RABEPRAZOLE should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with RABEPRAZOLE as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate the production of stomach acid. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
