Description
Rabeloc 20 MG Injection is an anti-ulcer medicine that contains Rabeprazole. It is used to treat gastrointestinal conditions caused due to excessive acid production in your stomach like the stomach and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. Rabeloc 20 MG Injection interferes with the final step of acid release in the stomach. Thus, acidity in the stomach is decreased and the ulcer healing process is fastened. Rabeloc 20 MG Injection may cause side effects like headache, pain, redness and swelling at the site of injection, diarrhoea, and dizziness. These effects are generally mild and subside with time. Consult your doctor if any of these symptoms persist for a long time. Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to it. Rabeloc 20 MG Injection should be administered into your vein by a health care professional in a hospital. The dose will be determined by your doctor based on your condition. Rabeloc 20 MG Injection is preferred if you have oesophagus damage (the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach) or if you are unable to take oral forms of pantoprazole. Eating a healthy and balanced diet along with this injection, helps you to get a quick result. Always try to finish your dinner three hours before heading to bed. Rabeloc 20 MG Injection may not be suitable for you if you have osteoporosis (a condition in which bones become weak and brittle), other gastrointestinal conditions like colitis and kidney or liver conditions as it may cause serious side effects.
