FAQs
Q. When should I take Rapilif?
It is usually advised to take the dose of Rapilif daily with a meal. Prefer taking it at the same time of the day. In patients with any kidney impairment, the dose is reduced by the doctor. Patients who are unable to swallow the capsules can open the capsule and sprinkle the powder on a tablespoon of apple sauce. Consume this mixture immediately within 5 minutes without chewing and drink a glass of cool water immediately afterwards.
Q. Can I undergo cataract surgery while taking Rapilif?
In some cases, Rapilif has shown specific side effect on the eyes. It has been observed that during an eye surgery the iris tends to get floppy and pupil size becomes small in patients taking Rapilif. This makes the operation difficult and tedious. Hence, you should always inform your eye specialist about any history related to the use of Rapilif. Also, the doctor should be informed about all the medication that you are on before starting the treatment.
