Uses

Acidity
Acid reflux
Stomach ulcer
Heartburn

Benefits

In Acidity: Peptard switches off the pumps in the stomach lining that make acid, so there is far less acid to cause burning and discomfort.
In Acid reflux: Peptard reduces the acid that rises into the food pipe, relieving heartburn and giving an inflamed food pipe time to heal.
In Stomach ulcer: Peptard lowers stomach acid enough for an ulcer to heal and, with antibiotics when needed, helps clear the infection behind it.
In Heartburn: Peptard prevents the burning behind the breastbone that comes after meals or at night, so you can eat and sleep comfortably.

Side effects

Most side effects of Peptard are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Headache
Loose motions
Nausea
Stomach pain
Flatulence

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or break it unless your doctor has told you to. Take it on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before the first meal. Taking it at about the same time each day helps you remember. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

How it works

Rabeprazole switches off the acid pumps in the lining of your stomach, so much less acid is produced and the lining can heal.

Safety advice

AlcoholCAUTION: Alcohol may worsen the side effects of this medicine. Limit it.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingSAFE: Not expected to affect your ability to drive.
KidneyCAUTION: Use with caution if you have kidney disease. Your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your kidney function.

Warnings & precautions

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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause confusion, blurred vision, sweating and a fast heartbeat. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

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.
