Related Faqs
Can I stop taking Zorab if I feel better?
No, do not stop taking Zorab before completing the full course of treatment. You will start to feel better before your treatment is complete.
How is Zorab useful in the treatment of H. pylori infection?
Zorab 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 Zorab with vitamin D?
Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Zorab. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Zorab as the long term use of Zorab 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.
Can long term use of Zorab cause magnesium deficiency?
Long-term use of Zorab 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.
Is it safe to use Zorab for a long period of time?
Zorab should be used for as long as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Zorab is usually considered to be safe when taken in the recommended dose and duration. If Zorab 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.
