Frequently asked questions
Can I take Rosuzol 20mg Capsule with domperidone?
This medication can be safely taken with domperidone as no harmful effects have been reported clinically. A fixed-dose combination of these two medicines is also available. Domperidone works by increasing gut motility and Rosuzol 20mg Capsule decreases stomach acid production. This combination proves effective in treating reflux esophagitis, heartburn, intestinal ulcers, and stomach ulcers.
What should I know before taking Rosuzol 20mg Capsule?
Do not take this medication if you are already taking a medicine containing atazanavir or nelfinavir (used for HIV infection). Let your doctor know about any liver problems, persistent diarrhea, vomiting with blood, unusual weight loss, trouble swallowing, stomach pain, or indigestion. Inform your doctor of all other medications you're taking as they may interact with this medication. If you have a history of allergic skin reactions to Rosuzol 20mg Capsule, inform your doctor immediately. It should not be given to children younger than 1 year old or those weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking this medication to avoid potential harm to the baby.
Can Rosuzol 20mg Capsule cause diarrhea?
Yes, it might cause diarrhea as a side effect in some people. If you experience persistent watery stools that do not subside along with stomach cramps and fever, contact your doctor immediately.
For how long can Rosuzol 20mg Capsule be taken?
Take it as directed by your doctor for the recommended duration. The length of treatment might vary based on your condition. Consult your doctor before stopping this medication without their guidance.
Can Rosuzol 20mg Capsule cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Yes, it can cause osteoporosis (thinning of bones) as it decreases calcium absorption leading to calcium deficiency. This increases the risk of bone fractures over long-term use, such as in hips, wrists, or spine. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or are on corticosteroids, which may increase this risk, before starting treatment. Your doctor can provide advice for preventing this. They might suggest calcium or vitamin D supplements to mitigate the risk.
What are the long-term side effects of Rosuzol 20mg Capsule?
Long-term use of Rosuzol 20mg Capsule for more than 3 months may lead to certain side effects. These include low magnesium levels, which can cause fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, or lightheadedness. Muscle twitches and irregular heartbeat can also occur with prolonged use. Over a year-long duration of treatment, you may have an increased risk of bone fractures (due to lower calcium levels in the blood) in the hip, wrist, or spine. You might experience stomach infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, which causes fatigue, weakness, or paleness. Additionally, you might feel palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, loss of appetite, flatulence (gas), or nerve problems such as numbness, tingling, or difficulty walking.
Does Rosuzol 20mg Capsule cause vitamin deficiencies?
It may lead to vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin B12 absorption depends on an acidic environment in the stomach, which this medication can decrease. You might need to take vitamin B12 supplements along with this medicine. The clinical significance of a decrease in vitamin C levels is not fully known, so vitamin C supplementation is not recommended.
Can Rosuzol 20mg Capsule be used by patients with cardiac disease?
Patients with cardiac disease can take this medication as prescribed by their doctor. However, it may interact with certain medications such as clopidogrel or digoxin, which might be taken by a patient with a pre-existing cardiac condition. Close monitoring of these interactions is needed with the guidance of a doctor.
