About Rabege LS Capsule

Rabege LS Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, duodenal and gastric ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to acidity. 
 
Rabege LS Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Rabege LS Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
 
You are advised to take Rabege LS Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Inform your doctor if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. On long-term treatment, Rabege LS Capsule may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Rabege LS Capsule may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Rabege LS Capsule is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Rabege LS Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production.
