Parit Tablet

Parit Tablet is a rabeprazole tablet made by Eisai Co. and supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets. Each Parit Tablet contains rabeprazole as labelled, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. It is used for acid-related conditions such as GERD, heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers.

How it works: Rabeprazole in Parit Tablet blocks the final step your stomach uses to produce acid, so less acid reaches the esophagus and stomach lining. As a tablet, it is swallowed whole so the medicine can reach the intestine and be absorbed before it starts reducing acid production.

Because this Parit Tablet is the as-labelled tablet strength, it is meant to fit a prescribed treatment plan rather than self-selecting a dose. Rabeprazole tablets are often chosen when a doctor wants acid suppression in a standard oral tablet form that can be taken once daily for many patients, but the exact schedule depends on the condition being treated and the labeled strength of this tablet. If a lower or different form is needed, a clinician may choose that instead based on symptom control and response.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Healing and maintenance of acid-related irritation
• Stomach ulcer treatment
• Duodenal ulcer treatment
• Part of treatment plans for H. pylori when prescribed with antibiotics

• Swallow Parit Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it before a meal as directed, since timing with food can affect how well a PPI works.
• Use it exactly as prescribed for the full course, even if your heartburn improves quickly.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not use it more often than prescribed just because symptoms return.
• Keep taking other acid medicine only if your clinician says to combine them.

Each Parit Tablet provides rabeprazole as labelled in one tablet, and the dose is usually taken once daily, but some conditions may need a different schedule under medical supervision. The maximum number of tablets per day depends on the condition, the prescribed strength, and your response; your doctor decides the correct dose for you. Do not increase the number of Parit Tablets you take without medical advice.

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

Common side effects of Rabeprazole may include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Constipation
• Gas or bloating
• Dizziness or feeling tired

• Parit Tablet is a prescription acid-reducing medicine, so use it only as directed by a clinician.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, low magnesium, osteoporosis, or a history of stomach cancer before starting it.
• Long-term PPI use may raise the risk of low vitamin B12, low magnesium, or bone fractures in some people.
• If you have trouble swallowing tablets, ask whether this specific tablet can be taken another way; do not assume it can be crushed.
• Report black stools, vomiting blood, or unexplained weight loss right away, since these are not normal heartburn symptoms.
• Tell your prescriber about pregnancy or breastfeeding before using Parit Tablet.
• Avoid starting other over-the-counter acid reducers without checking first, especially if you have been told to take a specific regimen.

• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Methotrexate, especially at higher doses
• Digoxin
• Drugs that need stomach acid to absorb well, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole
• Aspirin or NSAIDs when used regularly, since they can irritate the stomach

Store Parit Tablet in its original strip/box at room temperature, away from moisture and excess heat.
