Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would inform you that dicyclomine(cyclopam) is not indicated for reflux esophagitis. Its main indication is spasmodic pain in abdomen.
Rabeprazole present in Rabikind plus helps in controlling gastritis and reflux esophagitis.

Each medicine has some or other side effects. Main side effects of dicyclomine are dry mouth, vomiting, constipation, abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, etc.

I would suggest that you can take Rabeprazole for esophagitis while dicyclomine should be taken if spasmodic pain is present in your abdomen.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
