Uses, Side Effects, Price of RABIFEEL LS Capsule 10's:
RABIFEEL LS CAPSULE is a combination of Levosulpiride and Rabeprazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and Proton-pump inhibitors respectively.

GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of the lining of the food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, a sensation of a lump in the throat, and stomach discomfort.
RABIFEEL LS CAPSULE can also be used to treat peptic ulcer (painful sores in the gut), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in the pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid), functional dyspepsia (recurrent signs and symptoms of indigestion without an obvious cause) and diabetic gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying caused due to diabetes).
Take RABIFEEL LS CAPSULE preferably on an empty stomach. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking RABIFEEL LS CAPSULE as it could potentiate CNS depressive side effects.
