Riapanta 40Mg | 15Tab

Product Description:

Riapanta is a selective “proton pump inhibitor”, a medicine that reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for treating the acid-related disease of the stomach and intestine. 

Riapanta is used for: 

Adults and adolescents 12 years of age and above: 

Reflux oesophagitis. An inflammation of your oesophagus (the tube which connects your throat to your stomach) is accompanied by the regurgitating of stomach acid. 

Adults: 

An infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori in patients with duodenal ulcers and stomach ulcers in combination with two antibiotics (Eradication therapy). The aim is to get rid of the bacteria and so reduce the likelihood of these ulcers returning.

Stomach and duodenal ulcers 

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions produce too much acid in the stomach. 

How to use:

• Always take Riapanta exactly as your doctor has told you.
• You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
• Take the 1 tablet one hour before a meal without chewing or breaking them and swallow them whole with some water.

Caution & Warnings:

• Do not take Riapanta 
• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to Riapanta or to any of the other ingredients of Riapanta.
• If you are allergic to medicines containing other proton pump inhibitors. 
• Take special care with Riapanta 
• If you have severe liver problems.
• Please tell your doctor if you ever had problems with your liver in the past.
• He will check your liver enzymes more frequently, especially when you are taking Riapanta as a long-term treatment.
• In the case of a rise in liver enzymes, the treatment should be stopped. 
• If you have reduced body stores or risk factors for reduced vitamin B12 and receive Riapanta long-term treatment.
• As with all acid-reducing agents, Riapanta may lead to reduced absorption of vitamin B12.
• If you are taking a medicine containing atazanavir (for the treatment of HIV infection) at the same time as Riapanta, ask your doctor for specific advice. 
• Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following symptoms: 
• An unintentional loss of weight 
• Repeated vomiting 
• Difficulty in swallowing 
• Vomiting blood 
• You look pale and feel weak (anaemia) 
• You notice blood in your stools 
• Severe and/or persistent diarrhoea, as Riapanta has been associated with a small increase in infectious diarrhoea. 
• Your doctor may decide that you need some tests to rule out malignant disease because Riapanta also alleviates the symptoms of cancer and could cause a delay in diagnosing it.
• If your symptoms continue in spite of your treatment, further investigations will be considered. 
• If you take Riapanta on a long-term basis (longer than 1 year) your doctor will probably keep you under regular surveillance.
• You should report any new and exceptional symptoms and circumstances whenever you see your doctor.
