Novipraz Tablets 20 Mg

Product Overview:

Product Form: Tablets

Manufactured By: Novins

Prescription Required: Yes

Product Details:

Novipraz Tablets contain Rabeprazole Sodium, a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces gastric acid production. Rabeprazole works by inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the stomach's parietal cells, which leads to a significant reduction in both basal and stimulated acid secretion. This mechanism makes it highly effective in treating conditions related to excessive stomach acid.

Purposes:

• Treatment of active duodenal ulcers
• Management of active benign gastric ulcers
• Relief from symptomatic erosive or ulcerative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Warnings:

• Hepatic Dysfunction: Use Rabeprazole with caution in patients with severe liver dysfunction. Regular monitoring may be required.
• Pregnancy: This medication should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. Discuss potential risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
• Bone Fractures: Long-term use of PPIs like Rabeprazole may increase the risk of bone fractures, particularly in older adults and those on high doses. Ensure adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D.

Adverse Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Headache, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Other reported side effects include flatulence, pharyngitis, vomiting, back pain, dizziness, and flu-like symptoms.
• Less Frequent Side Effects: Rash, dry mouth, nervousness, somnolence, bronchitis, sinusitis, leg cramps, urinary tract infection, and fever.
• Rare Side Effects: Vision or taste disturbances, weight gain, depression, pruritus, stomatitis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and leukopenia.

Cautions:

• Exclusion of Malignancy: Before starting treatment with Novipraz Tablets, ensure that any potential gastric or esophageal malignancy has been ruled out, as Rabeprazole may mask the symptoms of these conditions.
• Long-Term Use: Patients on prolonged treatment (especially beyond one year) should be regularly monitored to avoid complications related to long-term PPI therapy.

Pregnancy Category:

Always consult your physician before using any medicine, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Rabeprazole is generally contraindicated during these periods unless specifically advised by your doctor.

Storage:

Store Novipraz Tablets at room temperature, away from direct light and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
