special instructions
In its pharmacological group, Rabeprazole is one of the cheapest drugs. Analogs, the price of which in most cases are higher, are used less often. Their cost varies from 135 to 3750 rubles on average in the country.
Before taking Rabeprazole, you should know for sure that the patient does not have any malignant tumors in the gastrointestinal system, since the drug may interfere with the diagnosis of the pathology in time and possibly lead to its progression.
It is also worth making sure that the patient is not pregnant, since the medication has a negative effect on the developing baby. The tool can penetrate the baby’s body through breast milk, so during treatment, a woman must stop feeding the baby.
If after using these pills a person feels tired, he will have to refuse to drive a car for the entire course of treatment. It should be remembered that some tools used together have an effect on each other. For example, Rabeprazole, whose analogs are largely identical in their characteristics, should be carefully combined with Digoxin, Ketonazole, Itraconazole, and Atazanavir.
