Rantac RDT Tablet

Product introduction
Rantac RDT Tablet is a combination medicine primarily used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. It helps reduce symptoms like heartburn, stomach irritation, and discomfort by lowering the amount of acid in the stomach and promoting smooth movement of food through the digestive system. It also eases the passage of gas, thereby relieving bloating and other digestive issues.

This medicine is usually taken on an empty stomach at a dose prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration depend on your specific condition and how well your body responds to the treatment. Stopping the medicine too soon may cause the symptoms to return or worsen. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking, as some drugs may interact with this medicine.

Common side effects may include headache, diarrhea, dry mouth, stomach discomfort, dizziness, weakness, and flatulence. Most of these side effects are temporary and should subside on their own. However, if they persist or become bothersome, contact your doctor immediately. Since this medication may cause sleepiness or dizziness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Alcohol should be avoided as it can intensify drowsiness and stomach irritation. Making small lifestyle changes such as avoiding spicy food, tea, coffee, and chocolate, and drinking cold milk may help you achieve better results.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. If you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, inform your healthcare provider for proper guidance.

How Rantac RDT Tablet works
This medicine combines two active ingredients: Domperidone and Rabeprazole. Domperidone improves the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, preventing reflux. Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion.
