Product Details

Repar 10 Mg Tablets contain Rabeprazole, a proton-pump inhibitor that works by suppressing gastric acid secretion in the stomach. This is achieved by inhibiting the gastric H+ /K+ ATPase enzyme at the parietal cells, leading to a significant reduction in both basal and stimulated acid production. The effect of Repar 10 Mg is dose-dependent, ensuring effective management of acid-related conditions.

Purposes

Repar 10 Mg Tablets are indicated for the treatment of several gastrointestinal conditions, including active duodenal ulcers, active benign gastric ulcers, and symptomatic erosive or ulcerative Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). By effectively reducing stomach acid, Repar 10 Mg helps to heal ulcers and manage GERD symptoms.

Warnings

Patients with severe hepatic dysfunction should use Repar 10 Mg Tablets with caution, as Rabeprazole can affect liver function. It is also advised to exercise caution during pregnancy; the medication should only be used when absolutely necessary, and the benefits outweigh the potential risks. Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors like Rabeprazole may increase the risk of bone fractures, especially in older adults.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Repar 10 Mg Tablets include headache, diarrhea, and nausea. Less frequent side effects may involve dizziness, abdominal pain, and rash. In rare cases, patients may experience more severe reactions like thrombocytopenia or leukopenia, and it is important to monitor for these symptoms during treatment.

Cautions

Before starting treatment with Repar 10 Mg, it is essential to rule out the possibility of gastric or esophageal malignancy, as the symptomatic response to the medication does not exclude the presence of these conditions. Patients on long-term treatment, especially those treated for more than a year, should be regularly monitored to ensure the continued safety and efficacy of the medication.
