About Rizoliv Capsule

Rizoliv Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, and duodenal and gastric ulcers.

Rizoliv Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride. Rabeprazole reduces stomach acid by blocking its production. Levosulpiride prevents acid and food from coming up by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter.

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. However, 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. Rizoliv Capsule may cause osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) and hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) with prolonged use. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
