Product Details

Rabecid 10 mg Tablets feature Rabeprazole Sodium, a proton-pump inhibitor designed to reduce gastric acid production. This medication works by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the parietal cells in the stomach lining, effectively decreasing both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. Tablets offer a targeted approach to managing acid-related conditions without relying on anticholinergic or H2-receptor antagonist properties.

Purposes

10 mg Tablets are used to treat various conditions related to excessive stomach acid. These include active duodenal ulcers, active benign gastric ulcers, and symptomatic erosive or ulcerative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By reducing acid production, Rabecid helps in the healing of ulcers and alleviates discomfort associated with acid reflux.

Warnings

1. Hepatic Dysfunction: Use Rabecid with caution in individuals with severe liver impairment, as the medication may exacerbate liver issues.

2. Pregnancy: During pregnancy, Rabecid should only be used if absolutely necessary. Discuss with your healthcare provider to weigh the potential risks and benefits.

3. Bone Fractures: Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors like Rabecid may increase the risk of bone fractures. This risk is particularly relevant for older adults and those on high doses or prolonged treatment.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of 10 mg Tablets include headache, diarrhea, and nausea. Other possible effects are abdominal pain, dizziness, and flu-like symptoms. Rarely, users may experience more serious reactions such as gastritis, weight gain, or severe allergic reactions. If any unusual symptoms or severe side effects occur, consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Before starting Tablets, ensure that any potential malignancies are ruled out, as symptomatic relief does not exclude the presence of serious conditions like gastric or esophageal cancer. For patients on long-term therapy, regular monitoring is advised. Additionally, consult your physician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have severe liver conditions. Always store Rabecid at room temperature, away from light and heat, to maintain its efficacy.
