Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mother is 47 years old. She takes Rabium 20 mg tablet daily and it gives her relief in her health problem. I just wanted to know whether this medicine is safe on daily basis. Does this cause any side effects? Is it safe for my mom to take it for a long time?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Using Rabium (Rabeprazole) for an extended duration is generally acceptable; however, if she experiences any adverse effects, discontinuation is advisable. Potential side effects encompass nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, flatulence, and diarrhea. While taking this medication over a prolonged period, she should observe specific precautions: considering an annual blood magnesium level measurement due to the possible need for magnesium supplementation, being cautious about the potential risk of weakened bones associated with long-term use, and taking the tablet just before a meal, preferably in the morning.
