1. What is Rabeprazol SUN and what is it used for

Rabeprazol SUN contains the active ingredient rabeprazole sodium. Rabeprazole belongs to a class of medicines known as “Proton Pump Inhibitors” (PPIs), which work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Rabeprazol SUN tablets are used for the treatment of:

  • “Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease” (GERD), which may include the occurrence of acidity. The cause of GERD is the passage of acid and food from the stomach into the esophagus.
  • Stomach ulcers or ulcers in the upper part of the intestine (duodenal ulcers). If these ulcers are infected with a bacterium called “Helicobacter pylori” (H. pylori), you will need to take antibiotics. Taking Rabeprazol SUN and antibiotics together will eliminate the infection and the ulcer will heal. It will also stop the infection and the recurrence of the ulcer.
  • Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, a disease characterized by the production of very high amounts of acid in the stomach.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Rabeprazol SUN:

  • If you are allergic to proton pump inhibitors or “substituted benzimidazoles”.
  • If liver and blood problems have been seen in some patients but often improve when treatment with Rabeprazol SUN is stopped.
  • If you have a stomach tumor.
  • If you have ever had liver problems.
  • If you are taking atazanavir, a medicine for AIDS.
  • If you have reduced body stores or have risk factors associated with reduced vitamin B12 and are receiving long-term treatment with rabeprazole sodium. Like all acid-reducing agents, rabeprazole sodium may lead to a reduction in vitamin B12 absorption.
  • If you are scheduled to have a specific blood test (Chromogranin A)
  • If you have ever had a skin reaction after treatment with a medicine similar to Rabeprazol SUN to reduce stomach acid

If you get a rash, especially in areas of the skin exposed to the sun, consult your doctor as soon as possible, as it may be necessary to stop treatment with Rabeprazol SUN. Remember to mention any other symptoms you may notice, such as joint pain. If you are unsure about the above, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.

If you experience severe diarrhea (watery or bloody) with symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, or sensitivity, stop taking Rabeprazol SUN and see your doctor immediately.

If you are taking proton pump inhibitors like Rabeprazol SUN, especially for more than a year, you may have a slightly increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis).

During treatment with rabeprazole, kidney inflammation can occur. The signs and symptoms include: decreased urine volume or blood in the urine and/or hypersensitivity reactions such as fever, rash, and joint stiffness. You should report these signs to your doctor.

Using Rabeprazol SUN with other medicines

In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • Ketoconazole or itraconazole - medicines for fungal infections. Rabeprazol SUN may decrease the amount of these medicines in your blood. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose.
  • Atazanavir - a medicine used to treat AIDS. Rabeprazol SUN may decrease the amount of this type of medicine in your blood, so they should not be used together.
  • Methotrexate (a chemotherapy medicine used at high doses to treat cancer) – if you are taking a high dose of methotrexate, your doctor may temporarily stop your treatment with Rabeprazol SUN. If you are unsure about the above, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Rabeprazol SUN.
