About RABERAL CAPSULE

RABERAL CAPSULE belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, duodenal and gastric ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to acidity. 
 
RABERAL CAPSULE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, RABERAL CAPSULE helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
 
You are advised to take RABERAL CAPSULE 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, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, dizziness, and diarrhoea. 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 if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. On long-term treatment, RABERAL CAPSULE may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. RABERAL CAPSULE may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. RABERAL CAPSULE is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with RABERAL CAPSULE as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production.

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, acidity, heartburn, and peptic ulcers.

    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It occurs when stomach acid frequently flows into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn and acidity. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. 

    Stomach ulcers: Stomach ulcers are sores that develop on the stomach and intestine lining due to erosion of the protective stomach lining. Symptoms include nausea, changes in appetite, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion. 

    Indigestion: Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting.

    FAQs

    How does RABERAL CAPSULE work?

    RABERAL CAPSULE contains Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride. Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby prevents the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, RABERAL CAPSULE helps in providing relief from acidity.

    Does lying down after having meals cause acidity?

    Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting on a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.

    Does RABERAL CAPSULE cause bone fractures?

    RABERAL CAPSULE contains rabeprazole which might increase the risk of osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). This mainly occurs in people taking higher doses of RABERAL CAPSULE for longer durations. Inform your doctor if you are at risk of osteoporosis. Your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements.

    How to treat dry mouth?

    Dry mouth could be a side-effect of RABERAL CAPSULE. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might help stimulate saliva and thereby prevent drying of the mouth.

    Is it safe to take RABERAL CAPSULE for longer durations?
