Rabium 20 – Drug Interactions

Rabium 20 Tablets are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme. Studies in healthy subjects have shown that rabeprazole does not have clinically significant interactions with other drugs (warfarin, theophylline and diazepam etc.) metabolized by the same enzyme system. However;

  • Rabium 20 may inhibit metabolism of cyclosporine
  • Coadministration of Rabium 20 with ketoconazole may decrease the bioavailability of ketoconazole.
  • Coadministration with digoxin may lead to increased AUC and (Cmax), values for digoxin.

In order to avoid this type of situations, it is recommended to monitor the patient such drugs are taken along with Rabium 20.
