Frequently asked Questions about Twichek

Question almost 6 years ago

What is Twichek?

Dr. Yogesh Kumar MBBS , General Physician

Twichek is a brand name for rabeprazole. It belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors. It is available in the form of a tablet, capsule, and injection. Twichek is used to alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). GERD is a condition in which acid back-flows from the stomach to the esophagus (the tube which connects the stomach with throat) causing heartburn and injury to the esophagus. Twichek is used to prevent this damage. Twichek is also used to treat conditions like Zollinger Ellison syndrome (excessive acid is produced by the stomach). It is used for the treatment of ulcers (sores in the lining of stomach and intestine) and also used in combination with other antibiotics (such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin) to manage H.pylori infection.

Question over 5 years ago

Does Twichek cause diarrhea?

Dr. Saurabh Dhamdhere MBBS , Orthopedics

Yes, Twichek use is associated with the development of diarrhea. This might be related to an infection caused by Clostridium difficile. If you experience severe diarrhea after consuming this medicine, inform the doctor right away without further delay. In addition, one must take a lot of electrolytes and fluids for preventing dehydration. Taking an anti-diarrheal medication may also help.

Question over 5 years ago

Dr. Braj Bhushan Ojha BAMS , Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ayurveda, Sexology, Diabetology

Rarely Twichek causes stomach cancer. There has been no direct relationship to establish the fact. However, stomach cancer and other cancers may develop because of recurring acid reflux for a long time for example 7 - 8 years or more.
