Rabispan Max Capsule SR is used to treat symptoms of acid reflux due to hyperacidity, stomach ulcer (Peptic ulcer disease), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). Besides this, it is used short-term to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. It contains Rabeprazole and Domperidone, which helps reduce stomach acid and increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ). In adults, it may cause common side effects such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and arthralgia (joint pain). In the case of children, it may cause side effects such as upper respiratory tract infections, headache, fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, rash, and abdominal pain.

About Rabispan Max Capsule SR

Rabispan Max Capsule SR belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitors, which reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour), duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers.

Rabispan Max Capsule SR helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump), thus preventing the release of stomach acid and relieving symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Not everyone who is taking Rabispan Max Capsule SR will get these side effects. Rabispan Max Capsule SR may have common side effects, such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, dizziness, and joint pain. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.

Take Rabispan Max Capsule SR as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. You should take Rabispan Max Capsule SR 30 minutes before food. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended dose of Rabispan Max Capsule SR. Do not chew, crush, or break the medicine.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to Rabispan Max Capsule SR. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to Rabispan Max Capsule SR or will have an endoscopy in the future. Prolonged intake of Rabispan Max Capsule SR may cause a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and low levels of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis. Rabispan Max Capsule SR is not recommended for children below 5 years of age. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Rabispan Max Capsule SR is effective in healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the food pipe), heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers.
  • Rabispan Max Capsule SR works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate, which secretes stomach acid. It can be prescribed to all age groups, including special populations like the elderly, pregnant, lactating mothers, and patients with kidney and liver disease.
  • Rabispan Max Capsule SR helps manage acidity-related conditions, promotes digestion, and provides relief from associated discomfort.

How Rabispan Max Capsule SR Works

Rabispan Max Capsule SR contains two medicines, namely Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Rabeprazole helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This gastric proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall. It is responsible for releasing gastric acid secretion and damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum (uppermost part of the small intestine). On the other hand, Domperidone increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ).

Storage

What if I have taken an overdose of Rabispan Max Capsule SR

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid intake of acid or heartburn-triggering foods or drinks like onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes and high-fat and spicy foods.
  • Avoid taking alcohol and smoking cigarette. Alcohol can raise the level of production of stomach acid leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, nicotine smoking damages the valve (sphincter), preventing stomach acid backflow into the food pipe.
  • Avoid regular sitting continuously, as it can increase stomach acid production. Try to take a break of 5 minutes in 1 hour by brisk walking or stretching.
  • Before going to sleep, try to raise your bedhead so that your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows, instead, one raised block is fine. This will not allow the stomach acid to backflow through your food pipe.
  • Include high fibre containing foods, berries, cherries, leafy green veggies (kale, spinach) and black peppers in your meal. These foods are full of antioxidants, calcium and vitamin B 12 that can help cope with the long-term effects of the medicine.
  • Fermented dairy products like miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain probiotics which help in the prevention of excess stomach acid production. Cranberry juice can be beneficial in the peptic ulcer and H Pylori infection.
