How Rabifast-Dsr Capsule works

This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Domperidone and Rabeprazole. Domperidone settles the stomach and blocks the signals that trigger nausea and vomiting, and helps the stomach empty at a normal rate. Rabeprazole switches off the acid pumps in the lining of your stomach, so much less acid is produced and the lining can heal.

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or break it unless your doctor has told you to. Take it 15 to 30 minutes before meals. Taking it at about the same time each day helps you remember. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Safety advice for Rabifast-Dsr Capsule

Warnings and precautions

Use it for the shortest period that works. These medicines are not intended for long-term daily use. Report any unusual muscle stiffness, tremor, restlessness or uncontrolled movements of the face or limbs at once — stop and contact your doctor. Tell your doctor if you have a heart rhythm problem; some of this group affect the heart's electrical timing. Persistent vomiting needs a diagnosis. Do not keep suppressing it without seeing a doctor, especially with abdominal pain, fever or blood. Take it on an empty stomach, about half an hour to an hour before your first meal — this is when the acid pumps are most active and the medicine works best. Long-term use has been linked to low magnesium and low vitamin B12, and to a higher risk of bone fracture. Review the need with your doctor rather than continuing indefinitely. Tell your doctor if acidity comes with difficulty swallowing, vomiting, weight loss, or black stools — these need investigation, not a longer course. Do not stop a long course abruptly; acid can rebound. Your doctor will taper it.

Do not take Rabifast-Dsr if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with bleeding, blockage or perforation of the gut, or with certain heart rhythm disorders.

Interactions with other medicines

Antifungals, some antibiotics and heart-rhythm medicines increase the risk of rhythm problems when combined. Adds to the drowsiness of alcohol and sedatives. Reduces the absorption of some antifungals, iron and certain HIV medicines. Tell your doctor if you take clopidogrel, methotrexate or a blood thinner.

How to store Rabifast-Dsr Capsule

Expert advice for Rabifast-Dsr Capsule

Take it shortly before meals for bloating and early fullness. Sip fluids frequently in small amounts, and use oral rehydration salts if you have been vomiting. Take it before breakfast, not after a meal. Eat smaller meals, avoid late dinners, raise the head of your bed and avoid smoking — these do as much as the tablet for reflux.
