Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's
Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, duodenal and gastric ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to acidity.
Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
You are advised to take Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. On long-term treatment, Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production.

Do not take Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have a history of pheochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal gland), epilepsy, mania, gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or severe kidney or liver impairment. Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's may cause osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) and hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) on long-term treatment. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
Drug-Drug Interactions: Ph-Perfect Capsule 10's may interact with a blood thinner (warfarin), anti-cancer (methotrexate), cardiac glycoside (digoxin), immunosuppressant (mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus), antibiotic (amoxicillin, clarithromycin).
Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor if you have gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, epilepsy, mania, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), hyperprolactinemia (high levels of prolactin), bone fractures, or hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium).
Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, acidity, heartburn, and peptic ulcers.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It occurs when stomach acid frequently flows into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn and acidity. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.
Stomach ulcers: Stomach ulcers are sores that develop on the stomach and intestine lining due to erosion of the protective stomach lining. Symptoms include nausea, changes in appetite, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion.
Indigestion: Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting.
