Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Peptic ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

Medicinal Benefits

Cintarab-SR Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely: Rabeprazole and Cinitapride used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Rabeprazole blocks the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, it reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. On the other hand, Cinitapride increases the food pipe movement (esophagus), small intestine, and stomach, thereby enhancing bowel movement and the digestive tract gets emptied from the food in a shorter time. Together, Cintarab-SR Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from hyperacidity and heartburn.
