Uses / Indications: It's always important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication, including Aciloc RD 15'S, especially if you are already taking other medicines or have any health concerns.


Drug Interactions:

Other Antacids and Acid Reducers: Taking Aciloc RD 15'S with other antacids or acid-reducing medications (like omeprazole or ranitidine) might increase the risk of side effects or reduce the effectiveness of one or both medications. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications you are taking.
Ketoconazole and Itraconazole: These antifungal medications need stomach acid to be absorbed properly. Aciloc RD 15'S reduces stomach acid, which can affect how well these antifungals work. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or choose a different medication.
Warfarin (Coumadin): Aciloc RD 15'S can sometimes affect how your body processes Warfarin, a blood thinner. Your doctor may need to monitor your blood clotting time more closely if you're taking both medications.
Digoxin: Aciloc RD 15'S may slightly increase the amount of Digoxin (a heart medication) in your blood. Your doctor may need to monitor your Digoxin levels.


Food and Lifestyle Interactions:

Alcohol: While Aciloc RD 15'S doesn't directly interact with alcohol, excessive alcohol consumption can irritate your stomach and worsen any existing digestive issues.
Smoking: Smoking can reduce the effectiveness of Aciloc RD 15'S and increase the risk of stomach ulcers. Quitting smoking is beneficial for your overall health and the effectiveness of this medication.
Caffeine and Spicy Foods: These can sometimes aggravate heartburn symptoms. While Aciloc RD 15'S helps reduce heartburn, limiting these may further improve your comfort.


Medical Conditions and Warnings:

Liver Problems: If you have liver problems, you should discuss this with your doctor before taking Aciloc RD 15'S, as it may need to be adjusted or avoided.
Kidney Problems: Similar to liver problems, kidney issues may require dosage adjustments or necessitate an alternative treatment. Always inform your doctor about your kidney health.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Long-term use of Aciloc RD 15'S can interfere with the absorption of Vitamin B12. Your doctor may recommend regular blood tests to check your Vitamin B12 levels.
Severe Allergies: If you have a known severe allergy to any component of Aciloc RD 15'S, you should not take it. Inform your doctor of any allergies.
Bone Fractures: Long-term use of acid-reducing medications like Aciloc RD 15'S has been linked to an increased risk of bone fractures in some individuals. Discuss this risk with your doctor, especially if you have osteoporosis or other risk factors for fractures.

Product composition:
• Domperidone(10.0 Mg) Omeprazole(20.0 Mg)

Pregnancy interaction:
• Aciloc RD 15'S, containing rabeprazole, is a medication used to reduce stomach acid. Its use during pregnancy requires careful consideration and should always be under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The decision to prescribe it during pregnancy is made on a case-by-case basis, weighing the potential benefits against the potential risks to the mother and the developing fetus.
  
  Safety: The safety of rabeprazole during pregnancy is not fully established. Limited data suggests it may be relatively safe when used under strict medical supervision, but potential risks cannot be completely ruled out.
  
  Purpose: Aciloc RD 15'S might be prescribed during pregnancy to manage severe heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD) or other conditions causing excessive stomach acid, if the benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risks to the fetus. It is not typically used for mild symptoms.
  
  Medical Supervision: This is crucial. A doctor will assess the severity of the mother's condition, weigh the potential benefits and risks, and monitor both the mother and the fetus closely throughout the treatment. Self-medicating with Aciloc RD 15'S during pregnancy is strongly discouraged. The doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment.
  
  Alternatives: Before prescribing Aciloc RD 15'S, the doctor will explore non-medication options for managing heartburn and acid reflux during pregnancy, such as dietary changes and lifestyle modifications. Medication will only be considered if these options prove insufficient.

How it works:
• Aciloc RD 15's is a medicine that helps reduce stomach acid and protect your stomach lining.
  
  Rabeprazole: This is the main active ingredient. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. Think of it like turning down the tap on a faucet that's supplying too much acid. This helps to relieve symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux.
  
  Domperidone: This ingredient helps your stomach empty more efficiently. It speeds up the movement of food from your stomach into your intestines. This can help prevent acid from backing up into your esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth and stomach), reducing symptoms.
  
  Together, rabeprazole and domperidone work in a complementary way to manage acid reflux and heartburn. Rabeprazole tackles the source of the problem (excess acid production), while domperidone helps prevent the acid from causing further problems by improving stomach emptying.

Faq for medicine:
• What is ACILOC RD 15'S used for?
  
  ACILOC RD 15'S contains rabeprazole, a medicine that reduces the amount of acid your stomach produces. It's mainly used to treat acid reflux (heartburn) and ulcers in the stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It can also be used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by certain medications.
  
  
  How should I take ACILOC RD 15'S?
  
  Always follow your doctor's instructions. Generally, you swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water, usually once a day, before a meal. Do not crush or chew the tablets.

  Like all medicines, ACILOC RD 15'S can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Common side effects can include headache, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. These are usually mild and temporary. If you experience any side effects that worry you or don't go away, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
  
  
  What should I do if I miss a dose of ACILOC RD 15'S?
  
  Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Just continue with your regular schedule.
  
  
  Are there any important precautions I should take while using ACILOC RD 15'S?
  
  Tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, especially liver or kidney problems.

Medicine interaction:
• It's crucial to tell your doctor about all the medications, supplements, and even herbal remedies you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs, before starting any new treatment like ACILOC RD 15'S (which contains Rabeprazole). This is because certain combinations can lead to unexpected and potentially harmful interactions. These interactions can change how well your medications work or increase the risk of side effects.
  
  Here are some examples of potential medicine and food interactions with ACILOC RD 15'S:
  
  Drugs that reduce stomach acid: Taking ACILOC RD 15'S, which already reduces stomach acid, along with other drugs that also lower stomach acid (like other proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers) may further decrease stomach acid levels to an extent that affects the absorption of other medications that require an acidic environment for optimal absorption. This could mean those other drugs are less effective.
  
  Ketoconazole and Itraconazole (antifungal medications): Rabeprazole can reduce the absorption of these antifungal medications, making them less effective at fighting fungal infections.
  
  Clopidogrel (blood thinner): Some studies suggest that rabeprazole may reduce the effectiveness of clopidogrel, increasing the risk of blood clots. This interaction needs careful monitoring by your doctor.
  
  Atazanavir (HIV medication): Rabeprazole can decrease the absorption of atazanavir, potentially reducing its effectiveness in treating HIV.
  
  Warfarin (blood thinner): While not always significant, there's a potential for interaction with warfarin, requiring careful monitoring of blood clotting levels.
  
  Certain foods: While not a direct drug interaction, consuming large amounts of calcium-rich foods or dairy products along with rabeprazole may slightly reduce the absorption of the medication. This effect is generally considered minor.
  
  
  This list is not exhaustive, and other interactions are possible. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns about potential interactions between ACILOC RD 15'S and other medications or supplements you are taking.
