REBAMIPIDE TABLETS

REBAMIPIDE TABLETS: Rebamipide tablets are a medication commonly prescribed for the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders.

The drug works by increasing the production of protective mucous in the stomach and intestines, which helps to prevent damage caused by acid, inflammation, or other irritants. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that further contribute to its therapeutic effects.

Rebamipide is often used to treat conditions such as gastric ulcers, gastritis, and duodenal ulcers. It can also be prescribed to manage symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) induced gastrointestinal ulcers.

The usual recommended dose of rebamipide tablets is 100 mg taken orally three times a day, preferably before meals. However, the dosage may vary depending on the individual’s condition and the healthcare provider’s instructions.

Common side effects of rebamipide tablets include diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, dizziness, and headache. These side effects are generally mild and may resolve on their own. However, if they persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

In rare cases, rebamipide may cause more severe side effects such as allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), breathing difficulties, chest pain, or signs of liver problems (e.g., yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, abdominal pain). If any of these serious side effects occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.

It is important to take rebamipide tablets as prescribed and to follow the advice of a healthcare professional. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking before starting rebamipide therapy to ensure its safe and effective use.
