Rabifast XL Capsule

Question 1

How does Rabifast XL Capsule work?

Accepted Answer

Rabifast XL Capsule 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, Rabifast XL Capsule helps in providing relief from acidity.

Question 2

Does lying down after having meals cause acidity?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does Rabifast XL Capsule cause bone fractures?

Accepted Answer

Rabifast XL Capsule contains rabeprazole which might increase the risk of osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). This mainly occurs in people taking higher doses of Rabifast XL Capsule for longer durations. Inform your doctor if you are at risk of osteoporosis. Your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Question 4

How to treat dry mouth?

Accepted Answer

Dry mouth could be a side-effect of Rabifast XL Capsule. 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.

Question 5

Is it safe to take Rabifast XL Capsule for longer durations?

Accepted Answer

Do not take Rabifast XL Capsule for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor. Rabifast XL Capsule might cause bone problems and hypomagnesemia on long-term treatment. Talk to your doctor if you do not find symptomatic relief despite taking Rabifast XL Capsule for 2 weeks.

Question 6

Does Rabifast XL Capsule cause abnormal menstruation?

Accepted Answer

Rabifast XL Capsule might cause irregular periods/abnormal menstruation. Consult your doctor if you notice abnormal bleeding patterns.
