Can I take Rabetrol with vitamin D?
Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Rabetrol. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Rabetrol as the long term use of Rabetrol decreases the absorption of calcium and may lead to calcium deficiency. This can lead to osteoporosis (thinning of bones) and increase the risk of bone fractures like hip, wrist and spine fractures. Please consult your doctor to know about ways to prevent this.
Is it safe to use Rabetrol for a long period of time?
Rabetrol should be used for as long as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Rabetrol is usually considered to be safe when taken in the recommended dose and duration. If Rabetrol is used for more than 3 months, certain long term side effects may be seen. The most important of these is low magnesium levels in your blood which may make you feel tired, confused, dizzy, shaky or dizzy. You may also have muscle twitches or irregular heartbeat. If the use is further prolonged for more than a year, you may have an increased risk of bone fractures, stomach infections, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, osteoporosis, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Can long term use of Rabetrol cause magnesium deficiency?
Long-term use of Rabetrol can lower magnesium levels in patients taking multiple daily doses for 3 months or longer. Get your magnesium levels checked at regular intervals. Tell your doctor if you experience seizures (fits), dizziness, abnormal or fast heartbeat, jitteriness, jerking movements or shaking (tremors), muscle weakness, spasms of the hands and feet, cramps, muscle aches.
What is Rabetrol used for?
Rabetrol is used for the treatment of stomach and intestinal ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers), reflux esophagitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It works by reducing the amount of acid made by your stomach and thus relieves your symptoms. Rabetrol also prevents acidity associated with use of painkillers and stress ulcers in critically ill people. It is also used to treat a disease associated with excessive acid production in the stomach known as Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES).
Can I stop taking Rabetrol if I feel better?
No, do not stop taking Rabetrol before completing the full course of treatment. You will start to feel better before your treatment is complete.
Does Rabetrol cause bone problems?
Yes, long term use of Rabetrol can cause thinning of bones, which is called osteoporosis. Rabetrol decreases the calcium absorption leading to calcium deficiency, and increases the risk of bone fractures of hip, wrist or spine. Take an adequate amount of calcium in your diet or take the supplements as advised by your doctor to avoid any bone problems.
