Cyra Tablet

Cyra Tablet is a prescription gastro-health medicine containing rabeprazole in each tablet as labelled. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Cyra Tablet is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used, together with other medicines, for conditions caused by excess stomach acid.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Cyra Tablet blocks the acid pump in the stomach lining, which reduces acid production at the source. Because it is a tablet, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed before it starts to calm acid-related irritation and healing needs.

Cyra Tablet is the lower-strength sibling to Cyra 40 Tablet, so it is generally better suited when a doctor wants a smaller rabeprazole dose or is stepping treatment up gradually. This strength may be chosen for people who need acid control but do not need the higher 40 mg tablet, or when the prescriber wants to balance symptom relief with tolerability. Your doctor will decide whether Cyra Tablet or the higher-strength Cyra 40 Tablet is the right fit for your symptoms and diagnosis.

• GERD and frequent acid reflux
• Heartburn relief and prevention
• Healing erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer treatment
• Duodenal ulcer treatment
• Excess stomach acid conditions

• Swallow Cyra Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Try to take Cyra Tablet at the same time each day to keep acid control steady.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow the exact schedule your doctor gives, especially if you are taking it with antibiotics or other ulcer medicines.

Each Cyra Tablet contains rabeprazole as labelled on the pack, and the exact amount per tablet should be used only as prescribed. It may be taken once daily for many acid-related conditions, but some patients may need a different schedule based on their diagnosis and response; the doctor decides the dose and duration. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount your prescriber has directed, and do not switch to Cyra 40 Tablet unless the clinician says the higher strength is needed.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Rabeprazole may include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Gas or bloating
• Constipation
• Dizziness

• Cyra Tablet is a prescription-strength PPI and should be used only if a clinician has confirmed it is appropriate for your condition.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, low magnesium, osteoporosis, or a history of vitamin B12 deficiency.
• Long-term use of rabeprazole may increase the risk of bone fractures, low magnesium, or certain infections in some people.
• Let your prescriber know about all medicines you take, especially blood thinners, methotrexate, digoxin, and antifungals.
• If you have trouble swallowing tablets, ask your doctor or pharmacist before changing the tablet form; do not crush it on your own.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms return quickly, worsen, or do not improve as expected, because persistent heartburn can signal a more serious problem.
• Avoid taking it in a way that differs from the prescribed schedule, since timing affects how well Cyra Tablet controls stomach acid.

• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Methotrexate
• Digoxin
• Ketoconazole or itraconazole
• Atazanavir or other medicines that need stomach acid for absorption

Store Cyra Tablet in its original strip/box at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
