Pariet

What is it?

Composition

The composition of the drug Pariet includes the active substance - rabeprazole. This substance is a proton pump inhibitor and effectively reduces the acidity of gastric juice by blocking the enzymes responsible for the production of acid. In addition to rabeprazole, the composition may also contain other components that improve the absorption and effectiveness of the drug. This comprehensive approach allows Pariet to effectively cope with various gastrointestinal tract problems associated with excess acid.

• Rabeprazole
• Auxiliary substances for improving absorption
• Components for the stability and safety of the drug

These auxiliary substances play an important role in the production and ensuring the long-term effectiveness and safety of the drug.

How to use?

Pariet should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, a course of treatment lasts from 4 to 8 weeks, but if necessary, your doctor may recommend an additional course to achieve complete recovery. If you have an H. pylori infection, the course of treatment may be as short as 7 days.

1. Take Pariet with a full glass of water (8 ounces).
2. Can be taken with food or on an empty stomach.
3. Do not crush or chew the tablet - swallow it whole.
4. Follow your doctors instructions and adhere to the duration of treatment.

It is important to remember that even if symptoms improve before the end of the course, treatment should be continued until the end to avoid relapse.

How does it work?

Pariet works by blocking enzymes responsible for acid production in the stomach. This significantly reduces the amount of acid, thereby relieving the symptoms of diseases such as GERD and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Rabeprazole, the active ingredient in Pariet, penetrates well into the cells of the stomach and effectively suppresses acid production, creating conditions for the restoration of damaged areas of the esophagus and stomach.

Pariets effectiveness in combating excess gastric acid and associated symptoms is due to its ability to selectively affect acid-producing cells. It promotes the healing of damaged tissues and prevents the formation of new ulcers against the background of excess acidity. This makes Pariet one of the leaders in the pharmaceutical market for the treatment of acid-related diseases.

Indications

Pariet is recommended for the treatment and prevention of a number of diseases associated with increased stomach acidity. Specialists prescribe it primarily to patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

• Erosive esophagitis
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
• Stomach diseases caused by helicobacter pylori infection

Among the indications, other conditions are also noted that require a decrease in the secretion of gastric acid to prevent further damage to the mucous membranes.

Contraindications

Despite its broad spectrum of action, Pariet has contraindications that must be considered before starting treatment. The drug is not recommended for use in patients with known hypersensitivity to its components or similar agents, such as omeprazole.

• Allergy to rabeprazole or other components
• Co-administration with HIV protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir)
• Certain drug interactions

Patients should discuss all current medications and health conditions with their physician to avoid unexpected reactions.

Side effects

Like most medicines, Pariet may have side effects that vary in intensity and duration. Patients should be aware of possible reactions so that they can assess the need for medical attention.

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Allergic reactions, such as rash or itching

If serious symptoms occur, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the lips, seek immediate medical attention.
