Having Acidity Problem And Heart Burn. Prescribed With Rabium DSR. Stopped Medicines And Having The Problem Again. Suggestions?
Brief Answer:
For 2 weeks...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If heartburn and acidity continues to persists, I would suggest continuing plain rabium. In my patients I use Rabium (rabeprazole) 40mg once a day tablet for 2-3 weeks. In addition to the medicine, I urge to adhere to healthy eating and life style habit
- Avoiding spicy food
- Restricting fizzy drinks and beverages
- Eating at regular time
- Timing the dinner meal 2 hours before sleep
- Sleeping adequately
- Practicing exercise, yoga and meditation
If symptoms continue to persist, I advice to see gastroenterologist. He/she can order upper GI endoscopy and plan the next step of treatment.
Hope this helps. Write back for clarifications.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Half an before meal...
Detailed Answer:
Rabeprazole (rabium) is more effective when taken half an hour before food. Presence of food can interfere with its absorption making it less effective. I prefer to give it before breakfast in the morning.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
