Brief Answer:
There will be no side effects if you take rablet after dinner by mistake

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The medicine rablet 20 contains rabeprazole which helps in reducing stomach acid formation in people having acid reflux disease.

2. It is to be taken early in morning on empty stomach for good effect and for reduction in stomach acid. It should not be taken after dinner.

3. If you take it after dinner then it will not cause any side effect. However the purpose of taking this medicine is defeated if taken after food and will not work to reduce acid. One should not eat anything for 30 minutes after taking this medicine. You can take one tablet tomorrow early morning as recommended by your doctor.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
