Question about 5 years ago

What is Suparab?

Dr. Yogesh Kumar MBBS , General Physician

Suparab is a brand name for rabeprazole. It belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors. It is available in the form of a tablet, capsule, and injection. Suparab is used to alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). GERD is a condition in which acid back-flows from the stomach to the esophagus (the tube which connects the stomach with throat) causing heartburn and injury to the esophagus. Suparab is used to prevent this damage. Suparab is also used to treat conditions like Zollinger Ellison syndrome (excessive acid is produced by the stomach). It is used for the treatment of ulcers (sores in the lining of stomach and intestine) and also used in combination with other antibiotics (such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin) to manage H.pylori infection.

Question about 5 years ago

Does Suparab lead to low magnesium levels?

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Magnesium helps in absorption of vitamin D and calcium, low level of magnesium will affect the absorption of Vit. D and calcium lead to decrease bone density and increases the risk of bone fracture.

Question almost 5 years ago

Does Suparab cause diarrhea?

Dr. Saurabh Dhamdhere MBBS , Orthopedics

Yes, Suparab use is associated with the development of diarrhea. This might be related to an infection caused by Clostridium difficile. If you experience severe diarrhea after consuming this medicine, inform the doctor right away without further delay. In addition, one must take a lot of electrolytes and fluids for preventing dehydration. Taking an anti-diarrheal medication may also help.

Question almost 5 years ago

Why Suparab is given along with vitamine B 12?

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

This is because a long-term use of Suparab can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. Stomach acids help in the absorption of Vitamin B 12, and this drug suppresses stomach acid which is required for the absorption of vitamin B12. Hence patients taking [medicine] for a long time have Vitamin B12 deficiency. To replenish Vitamin B12 in your body your doctor prescribes this vitamin along with this medicine.
