About Dexpure 10mg Tablet

DEXRABEPRAZOLE belongs to a class of drugs called 'proton pump inhibitors used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is characterised by the formation of tumours in the upper part of the small intestine, which leads to excess acid production.

DEXRABEPRAZOLE contains 'Dexrabeprazole' that works by blocking the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, DEXRABEPRAZOLE reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. Thus, it provides relief from heartburn symptoms related to acid reflux.

Take DEXRABEPRAZOLE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take DEXRABEPRAZOLE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, stomach pain or constipation. Most of these side effects of DEXRABEPRAZOLE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to DEXRABEPRAZOLE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. DEXRABEPRAZOLE is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness were not established. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking DEXRABEPRAZOLE. Drive only if you are alert as DEXRABEPRAZOLE may cause drowsiness. Avoid alcohol consumption as it may lead to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn. Inform your doctor if you have any risk factors for reduced vitamin B12 as DEXRABEPRAZOLE may reduce the absorption of vitamin B12. If you get any skin rash, particularly in areas exposed to the sun or pain in joints, inform your doctor.
