Rabzix L Capsule 10 is mainly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This medication is a combination medicine belonging to the prokinetic agents and proton pump inhibitors class.

Additionally, Rabzix L Capsule 10 is also used for the management of intestinal ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These additional uses provide relief from symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, persistent coughing, and sleep problems.

It's essential to speak with your doctor before beginning this medication so they can advise you on the proper dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions or are currently taking any medications. Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any side effects while on this medication. Continue taking the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Rabzix L Capsule 10 is used for managing these conditions:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, often known as acid reflux
Peptic ulcers, which are sores that develop in the lining of your stomach
Irritable bowel syndrome, a common disorder affecting the large intestine

Directions for Use of Rabzix L Capsule 10

Here's how to properly take Rabzix L Capsule 10:

Swallow the capsule whole with water.
It is advisable to take Rabzix L Capsule 10 on an empty stomach, at least one hour before eating.
Do not chew, break, or open the capsule.
Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage of this medication.

Rabzix L Capsule 10 may have the following side effects:

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhoea
Stomach pain
Headache
Dizziness and drowsiness
Dry mouth
Flatulence
Constipation

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary, generally mild, and resolve upon discontinuing the use of Rabzix L Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, notify your doctor.

Here are a few general guidelines to manage common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Taking Rabzix L Capsule 10 with a meal may help lessen these effects.
Flatulence: Try taking this medicine at night if it causes you excessive gas during the day.

Rabzix L Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to manage various gastrointestinal conditions:

Rabeprazole (20 mg): Rabeprazole acts on your stomach by decreasing the production of acid. It does this by irreversibly blocking an enzyme system known as H+/K+ ATPase present in your gastric parietal cells, also called proton pumps. Reduced acidity helps relieve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease and allows oesophageal and stomach ulcers to heal.
Levosulpiride (75 mg): This component works in your body by stimulating the release of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that promotes contraction of the stomach muscles, helping to move food from the stomach into the small intestine efficiently.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, caution is recommended while taking Rabzix L Capsule 10. Always consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's essential to discuss this with your doctor before taking Rabzix L Capsule 10.

Alcohol

Avoid consuming alcohol while on this medication, as alcohol can trigger heartburn and acidity, exacerbating your condition.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised when you are prescribed Rabzix L Capsule 10. Your doctor will evaluate if this medicine is appropriate for you.

Kidney

For those with kidney health concerns, it is advised to consult your doctor before taking Rabzix L Capsule 10.

Using Machines & Driving

Rabzix L Capsule 10 may make you feel sleepy or lightheaded. It's best to wait until you know how the medication affects you before operating heavy machinery or driving.

Allergy

Rabzix L Capsule 10 should not be taken if you have a history of hypersensitivity to levosulpiride, rabeprazole, or any other ingredient in the formulation.

Children

Exercise caution before giving Rabzix L Capsule 10 to children. Always consult your doctor before giving any medication to a child.

Older Patients

Due to their potential increased susceptibility to side effects, older people should only take Rabzix L Capsule 10 under medical supervision. Patients who are older than 70 years of age are urged to proceed with caution, especially if they have a history of kidney or liver disease or are on any other medications.

Rabzix L Capsule 10 interacts with these medicines:

Antifungals: Medicines like ketoconazole may have reduced efficacy if taken with Rabzix L Capsule 10, due to decreased stomach acidity.
