1. WHAT PARIET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

Pariet contains the active ingredient rabeprazole sodium. This belongs to a group of medicines called ‘Proton Pump Inhibitors' (PPIs). They work by lowering the amount of acid that your stomach produces.

Pariet tablets are used to treat the following conditions:

• ‘Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease' (GORD), which can include heartburn. GORD is caused when acid and food from your stomach escapes into your food pipe (oesophagus)

•    Ulcers in your stomach or the upper part of your gut (intestine). If these ulcers are infected with bacteria called ‘Helicobacter pylori' (H. Pylori), you will also be given antibiotics. Using Pariet tablets and antibiotics together gets rid of the infection and makes the ulcer heal. It also stops the infection and ulcer from coming back

•    Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome where your stomach produces too much acid.

2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE PARIET

Do not take Pariet if:

•    You are allergic (hypersensitive) to rabeprazole sodium, or any of the other ingredients of Pariet (listed in Section 6 below)

•    You are pregnant or think that you are pregnant

•    You are breast-feeding.

Do not use Pariet if any of the above applies to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Pariet.

•    You have a stomach tumour

•    You have ever had liver problems.

If you experience severe (watery or bloody) diarrhoea with symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain or tenderness, stop taking Pariet and see a doctor straight away.
