Related Faqs
What is Rabispan used for?
Rabispan 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. Rabispan 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 Rabispan if I feel better?
No, do not stop taking Rabispan before completing the full course of treatment. You will start to feel better before your treatment is complete.
Does Rabispan cause bone problems?
Yes, long term use of Rabispan can cause thinning of bones, which is called osteoporosis. Rabispan 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.
How is Rabispan useful in the treatment of H. pylori infection?
Rabispan is used along with antibiotics for the treatment of H.Pylori infection. It works by decreasing stomach acid volume and decreasing breakdown and washout of antibiotics leading to an increased antibiotic concentration and tissue penetration. It also helps in the symptomatic relief by decreasing associated acidity, reflux, and heartburn.
Can I take Rabispan with vitamin D?
Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Rabispan. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Rabispan as the long term use of Rabispan 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.
