Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Veloz-20 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking the tablet with food or milk.
Flatulence: You could consider taking this medicine before meals to potentially lessen this effect.

Veloz-20 Tablet contains rabeprazole (20 mg), which has a specific action on the body:

Inhibition of gastric H+/K+ ATPase: Inside your stomach, there are special cells called parietal cells. These cells have a tiny pump called the H+/K+ ATPase. This pump is like a little machine that helps make acid in your stomach. Rabeprazole can stop this pump from working, as a result of which your stomach makes less acid.
Reduction in acid secretion: Rabeprazole effectively reduces acid secretion into your gastrointestinal tract, allowing ulcers in the stomach and oesophagus to heal more efficiently.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking this medicine if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

It's recommended to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

If you have severe liver impairment, be cautious while taking this medication. Discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, it's wise to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

There is no specific information suggesting that Veloz-20 Tablet may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Allergy

Older Patients

Older patients should take Veloz-20 Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Veloz-20 Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Anticoagulants: This medicine can increased risk of bleeding in patients taking warfarin, a blood-thinning medication.
Immunosuppressants: The metabolism of cyclosporine, a medicine used to prevent organ rejection after transplantation, can be inhibited by this medicine. This could result in increased levels of cyclosporine in your body.
Acid-dependent medications: Medicines like atazanavir (used for HIV), digoxin (for heart conditions), iron salts (for anaemia), ketoconazole (an antifungal), and mycophenolate mofetil (an immunosuppressant) require an acidic pH for optimal absorption. Veloz-20 Tablet reduces stomach acid, possibly affecting the absorption and effectiveness of these medicines.
