Introduction
Rabidep 40 DSR Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux. It works by relieving symptoms of acidity such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. The medicine neutralizes stomach acid and promotes the easy passage of gas to reduce stomach discomfort. It is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects in some individuals. Long-term use can lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. Always consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Rabidep 40 DSR Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Rabidep 40 DSR Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Rabeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Rabidep 40 DSR Capsule for the treatment of acidity and heartburn. Take it one hour before the meal, preferably in the morning. It is a well-tolerated medicine and provides relief for a long time. Inform your doctor if you get watery diarrhea, fever, or stomach pain that does not go away. Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking it for 14 days as you may be suffering from some other problem that needs attention. Long-term use can cause weak bones and deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
