Olepra 20 MG Tablet 10

Olepra 20 MG Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:

• Anticoagulants: This medicine increases the time it takes for blood to clot when used with anticoagulants like warfarin and heparin; therefore, regular monitoring is suggested.
• Immunosuppressants: Immunosuppressants like cyclosporine can inhibit the metabolism of rabeprazole, resulting in an increase in the level of rabeprazole in the blood.
• Antineoplastic medication: Rabeprazole may increase methotrexate levels if used concurrently, causing methotrexate toxicity.
• Cardiac glycosides: Using cardiac glycosides like digoxin and oleandrin may lead to increased digoxin levels in the body, causing symptoms like nausea and vomiting.

While there are no significant food interactions that affect the effectiveness of this medicine, avoid fatty and spicy foods, as they may trigger heartburn.

• Gastrointestinal infections: This tablet increases the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea.
• Bone disorders: Prolonged therapy could increase the risk of fractures in individuals suffering from bone disorders like osteoporosis.
