Rabeprazole is required in 2 times less. There are a number of additional advantages: for example, rabeprazole does not create a withdrawal syndrome after discontinuation of reception, and its bioavailability does not depend on the time of reception. It is safer and operates in a wider range, but at the same time

"Zulbeks", the instruction for which uses the same indications, is analogous to the active ingredient, so its cost is not much lower. This drug is dispensed in pharmacies without a prescription, regardless of the dosage. In the rest, the drug is completely analogous"Norflyuksu."

Since there was no direct research on women during pregnancy and lactation, taking the drug is not advisable. During gestation, if the risk from the disease is greater than from taking the medication, therapy is allowed.

Child's age

Reviews about the

tool Comments on the use of this tool on the Internetnot too much, because regularly take expensive drugs there is a possibility not for everyone, and therapy courses sometimes last up to 1 year. Nevertheless, out of the few people who tested the effect of the drug on themselves, one can single out a clear positive line. Most reviews indicate a rapid tangible effect with the first application. Exacerbations of peptic ulcers are treated well, they undergo symptoms of GERD and NERD.

In most cases, there are no side effects during admission, but some still emphasize the manifestation of headaches during therapy, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. In this case, all the symptoms accompanying the reception are very weakly expressed and are of a floating nature.

Interaction with other

agents Very often, rabeprazole-based medications are prescribed with the complex with antibacterial. In this combination, there were no deviations in the effect on the body from antibacterial agents. At the same time the action of rabeprazole became more pronounced in comparison with monotherapy.

Any combination of the drug with other drugs, the absorption of which depends on the level of acidity, should be accompanied by adjusting the dosage individually.

It is not recommended to use Noflux together with atazanavir or other proton pump inhibitors.

In studies, it was noted that rabeprazole interferes with the production of cyclosporine.

Also, based on the results of testing the effect on the body of the drug, it was found that when it was taken together with methotrextate, the half-life of the drug was increased. This effect in most cases leads to the need to cancel therapy with proton pump inhibitors.

Conclusion

The only drawback of the drug is its cost, which is too expensive for most patients, but otherwise decided to spend that money on their own health are satisfied. Many selected analogues of this remedy do not give off the same positive effects, especially when treated with omeprazole-based generics. Although such tools are cheaper, the effect from them is much less.

Among the large list of possible side effects in reality are seen only the least serious, and with a floating character. Given that the positive result of the treatment is greater, at the time you can resign yourself and with such inconveniences.

Due to possible problems in the combination of the drug with other agents, it should be taken only after consultation with a qualified specialist.

Try to constantly monitor your health, go for routine examinations to doctors, lead a correct lifestyle, and then you will not have any problems.
