Rabzix L Capsule is primarily used in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition characterised by the backflow of stomach acid into the oesophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn and discomfort. This medicine is classified under gastrointestinal agents.
Rabzix L Capsule is prescribed for the following uses:
• Management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Healing and prevention of intestinal ulcers
• Management of symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Take the capsule orally with a full glass of water.

Rabzix L Capsule is taken orally.
Common side effects associated with this medicine include:
• Nausea
• Stomach pain
• Diarrhoea
• Constipation
• Headache
Rabzix L Capsule contains two active components, each with distinct mechanisms of action:
• Levosulpiride (75 mg): This prokinetic agent enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that assists in the contraction of stomach muscles, facilitating the movement of food through the digestive tract and alleviating symptoms such as bloating and discomfort.
• Rabeprazole (20 mg): Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), suppresses stomach acid production by inhibiting the gastric proton pump. This reduction in acidity aids in preventing acid reflux, promoting ulcer healing, and protecting the lining of the digestive tract from further damage.
Not recommended.

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may increase the chances of sedation.
