R Plus Tablet 10 is commonly used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. This combination medicine falls under the class of digestive system medications.

This tablet also helps manage symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, irritation, and indigestion. It eases discomfort by promoting the movement of food in the stomach and reducing acid production.

For optimal results, you should take this medicine orally as directed by your doctor. Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting to use this medicine. Don't forget to notify your doctor immediately if you notice any side effects while taking it. Ensure you continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for maximum benefit.

R Plus Tablet 10 is used for managing the following conditions:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease: This condition occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach, causing a burning sensation in your chest.
Peptic ulcer disease: This involves sores that develop on the lining of your stomach, the upper part of your small intestine or lower oesophagus.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Remember to take your medicine at least 30 minutes before meals.
Stick to the dosage advised by your doctor without exceeding it.
Before stopping this medicine, make sure to consult with your doctor.

R Plus Tablet 10 is taken orally.

R Plus Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Diarrhoea
Dry mouth
Breast tenderness or enlargement (in males): This is a rare side effect where males may notice a slight swelling or tenderness in their chest area.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of R Plus Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Fatigue: If you notice that you're feeling tired after taking this medicine, you might want to take it at bedtime.
Diarrhoea: Try taking R Plus Tablet 10 with food to lessen this effect.

R Plus Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Domperidone (10 mg): As a dopamine antagonist, domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in your gut. This action increases the movement of food through the upper part of your digestive system (known as 'motility'), and prevents feelings of sickness or vomiting.
Ranitidine (150 mg): Ranitidine is an H2 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking histamine from acting on specific cells in the lining of your stomach. This blockage reduces the amount of acid these cells produce, thus lowering overall stomach acidity.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking R Plus Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor prior to using R Plus Tablet 10 if you are breastfeeding, to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Heart Medications: The absorption of digoxin may be increased when taken with R Plus Tablet 10, potentially leading to an increased risk of side effects.
Antibiotics: Erythromycin can increase the amount of domperidone in your body, which could increase the risk of side effects.

Missed Dose

Should you fail to take a dose of R Plus Tablet 10 at the scheduled time, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't increase your dosage without discussing it with your doctor.

Always leave the tablets in their original packaging until you are ready to take them.
Make sure the medicine is out of reach of children.

If you have been prescribed R Plus Tablet 10 for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), try to avoid food and drinks that trigger heartburn, such as spicy foods, alcohol, and fizzy drinks.
For peptic ulcer disease management, it can be helpful to eat smaller meals more frequently instead of three large meals a day. This can reduce pressure on your stomach and prevent the overproduction of stomach acid.
