Rabeedon L 75mg/20mg Capsule SR Substitute

Rabeedon L 75mg/20mg Capsule SR contains Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride. Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby prevents the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Rabeedon L 75mg/20mg Capsule SR helps in providing relief from acidity.

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting on a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.

Rabeedon L 75mg/20mg Capsule SR contains rabeprazole which might increase the risk of osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones).

Dry mouth could be a side-effect of Rabeedon L 75mg/20mg Capsule SR. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might help stimulate saliva and thereby prevent drying of the mouth.
