Can Zhongsheng tablets be taken together with Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules?
I would like to inquire whether Zhongsheng Tablets and Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules can be taken together, as I am concerned about potential drug interactions.

Zhongsheng Tablets mainly consist of various herbal extracts and have functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. They are commonly used to treat symptoms such as upper respiratory tract infections and sore throat. Rebamipide Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules, on the other hand, are proton pump inhibitors primarily used to treat diseases caused by excessive stomach acid, such as gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. These capsules reduce stomach acid secretion to promote ulcer healing. From the perspective of drug mechanisms, Zhongsheng Tablets and Rebamipide Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules do not conflict in their therapeutic areas and can be taken together.
When taking these two medications, closely monitor your physical condition. If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash occur, discontinue the medication immediately and seek medical attention. Additionally, as Zhongsheng Tablets are traditional Chinese medicine preparations, it is advisable to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption during treatment, and refrain from consuming spicy foods, fish, or other seafood to prevent interference with the drug's effectiveness.
