Overview

What is Rabam L?

Rabam L combines rabeprazole, which lowers stomach acid, with levosulpiride in a slow-release (SR) form. Levosulpiride helps the stomach move food along and reduces nausea and bloating. Together they are used for acidity that comes with indigestion, fullness or a sick feeling.

Uses

What it is used for

Rabam L is commonly used for:

  • Acid reflux (GERD)
  • Indigestion with bloating, burping or feeling full quickly
  • Nausea linked to a slow-emptying stomach
  • Heartburn and acidity
Benefits

How it helps

Settles the stomach

Levosulpiride helps food pass through, easing bloating and that full, heavy feeling.

Calms nausea

It dampens the signals that make you feel sick.

Eases heartburn

Rabeprazole reduces the acid behind burning and sour burps.

Side effects

Possible side effects

Not everyone gets side effects. Most are mild and settle as your body gets used to the medicine.

Common and usually mild

  • Feeling sleepy or tired
  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Loose stools or constipation
  • Breast swelling, milk discharge or changes in periods (caused by a rise in the hormone prolactin)

Talk to your doctor if any of these bother you or don't go away.

How it works

What it does in your body

The lining of your stomach has tiny "acid pumps" that release acid to digest food. Rabeprazole switches off many of these pumps, so your stomach makes much less acid. With less acid around, the burning eases and sore areas in the stomach and food pipe get a chance to heal. Levosulpiride blocks a chemical messenger (dopamine) in the gut and in the part of the brain that controls nausea. This helps the stomach empty on time and reduces the urge to feel sick.

Safety advice

Is it safe for me?

A quick guide to common situations. Your doctor knows your health best, so always follow their advice.

Alcohol

Avoid

Alcohol can make the drowsiness from levosulpiride much stronger. Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.

Pregnancy

Ask your doctor

It is not recommended in pregnancy unless your doctor decides it is really needed. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a baby.

Breastfeeding

Ask your doctor

Levosulpiride can pass into breast milk, so it is usually not recommended while breastfeeding. Ask your doctor first.

Driving

Caution

It can make you sleepy or dizzy. Do not drive or use machines until you know how it affects you.

Kidney

Caution

Levosulpiride leaves the body through the kidneys. If you have kidney disease, your doctor may lower the dose.

Liver

Caution

Use with care if you have a liver problem, especially a serious one. Your doctor may want to keep a closer eye on you.

Quick tips

Good to know

  1. Avoid alcohol. It adds to the sleepiness this medicine can cause.
  2. Hold off on driving until you know how it affects you.
  3. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have epilepsy, Parkinson's disease or a hormone-related condition.
  4. Let your doctor know if you notice breast changes or changes in your periods. These are usually reversible.
  5. Smaller meals and not lying down straight after eating help keep acidity in check.
