Introduction
What is Rabeprazole Itopride Capsule?
This fixed-dose combination features rabeprazole sodium, which reduces stomach acid production, and itopride hydrochloride, which enhances gastric motility and emptying. It’s designed for patients with both acidity and delayed stomach emptying, offering dual relief in one convenient capsule.
Key Uses
Rabeprazole Itopride capsules treat various gastrointestinal issues, including:
-
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and acid reflux.
-
Functional dyspepsia, indigestion, and bloating.
-
Peptic ulcer disease and chronic gastritis.
-
Heartburn, nausea, and symptoms from impaired gut motility.
How It Works
Rabeprazole blocks the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) to irreversibly inhibit acid secretion in the stomach lining. Itopride stimulates upper GI tract movement, controls vomiting, and improves food transit, addressing motility issues alongside acid control.
Dosage Guidelines
Typically taken once daily before meals, swallow whole with water—do not crush or chew. Follow the prescribed course completely for optimal results, with adjustments for renal or hepatic impairment under medical advice.
Common Side Effects
Side effects are usually mild, such as:
-
Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation.
-
Headache, dizziness, or dry mouth.
Consult a doctor for persistent issues like severe allergic reactions.
Precautions and Safety
Avoid in hypersensitivity to PPIs or prokinetics; use cautiously in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or with drugs like antifungals. Inform your doctor of liver/kidney conditions or concurrent medications to prevent interactions.
Why Choose Rabeprazole Itopride?
This combination provides faster symptom relief than monotherapy by tackling both acid excess and motility problems, ideal for comprehensive GERD and dyspepsia management
