While taking Superia Tablet 15, you may experience the following common side effects:

Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Hypomagnesemia

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and resolve upon discontinuing the use of Superia Tablet 15. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea: Try taking the tablet with food to lessen this effect.
Abdominal pain: If this medicine causes stomach ache, consider taking it after meals.

Superia Tablet 15 contains rabeprazole (20 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

Inhibits H+/K+ ATPase: Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme system called hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase). This system is found in the parietal cells, a category of epithelial cells in the stomach. This enzyme system plays a crucial role in producing acid in your stomach.
Reduces gastric acid secretion: By inhibiting H+/K+ ATPase, rabeprazole effectively reduces gastric acid secretion, thereby managing symptoms related to excess stomach acid.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Superia Tablet 15 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised for the use of Superia Tablet 15 in breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

There is no known interaction between Superia Tablet 15 and alcohol. However, since alcohol can trigger acid production in your stomach, it's best to avoid it.

Liver

If you have liver problems, talk to your doctor before starting Superia Tablet 15, as this medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Superia Tablet 15 if you have a history of kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Superia Tablet 15 does not usually affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Still, if you feel unwell or experience side effects like dizziness, avoid these activities until you feel well enough.

Allergy

Superia Tablet 15 should not be taken if you are allergic to rabeprazole or any other ingredients in the tablet. If you have known allergies, inform your doctor.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Superia Tablet 15 to children under 12 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Superia Tablet 15 under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised for patients over the age of 70, especially those with a history of liver or kidney disease. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Superia Tablet 15 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.

Drug-Food Interactions

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

Drug-Disease Interactions

Superia Tablet 15 interacts with the following diseases:

Coagulation disorders: This medicine may increase INR and prothrombin time, thus impacting blood clotting ability. This could be unsafe for people who have coagulation disorders like haemophilia and Von Willebrand disease.
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.
Nutrient deficiency diseases: While it occurs rarely, extended use of this medicine can cause hypomagnesemia or low magnesium levels in the body.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Superia Tablet 15 based on your condition and response to treatment. Follow this prescribed dosage and don't exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Excess intake of Superia Tablet 15 could lead to overdose side effects such as headache, nausea, and abdominal pain. If you suspect an overdose, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take Superia Tablet 15 at the prescribed time, take it as soon as you remember. However, if the next dose is due soon, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase the dosage without your doctor's advice.

Store Superia Tablet 15 in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
Ensure the medicine is kept away from moisture and direct light.
Keep the tablets well out of reach of children.
Always remember to use the medicine before its expiration date for optimal effectiveness.

Since this medicine helps manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), consider reducing your intake of spicy and oily foods. These types of foods can potentially irritate your stomach lining and exacerbate GERD symptoms.
Maintaining an upright posture during and after meals may help prevent acid from flowing back into your oesophagus, which could lessen GERD symptoms.
