Sabezole IT capsules are a combination prescription medication used primarily to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and acid-related indigestion (dyspepsia). They contain two active ingredients: Rabeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses excess stomach acid production) and Itopride (a prokinetic agent that accelerates gastric emptying and improves gut motility).
Key Uses
-
Acid Reflux & Heartburn: Prevents stomach acid from flowing upward into the food pipe.
-
Peptic Ulcer Disease: Helps heal painful sores in the lining of the stomach or small intestine.
-
Functional Dyspepsia: Relieves uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, early fullness, and upper abdominal pain.
How to Take It
-
Timing: Take the capsule on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
-
Method: Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it, as this can destroy the delayed-release mechanism.
-
Dosage: The standard dose is typically one capsule daily, but always follow the precise instructions given by your doctor.
Potential Side Effects

-
Headache
