PRODUCT DETAILS
About Itza RB 20 mg/150 mg Capsule SR
RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE is a combination medicine of proton pump inhibitor and prokinetic agent used to lower the increased level of stomach acid. It treats GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease), and peptic ulcers. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (esophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.
RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Rabeprazole and Itopride. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. It minimizes the release of acid from the stomach which provides relief for heartburn and acid-related digestion. While Itopride works on the part of the brain that is responsible for controlling vomiting. It increases gastric emp undying and improves gastric sensitivity and tension by increasing the stomach's movement and intestines in the upper digestive tract. It also has anti-emetic action. Together, RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.
Take RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE 30-60 minutes before food. Do not chew, or break the tablet; swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. You are advised to take RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE 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, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, and diarrhea. 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+ITOPRIDE if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical perforation/obstruction, or movement disorder. On long-term treatment, RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium). Do not take RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE causes drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with RABEPRAZOLE+ITOPRIDE as it can lead to increased drowsiness and increased acid production.
