Riopan: Medicine Labels and the Separate Péan Forceps Name
Distinguish Riopan medicine labels from Péan forceps, with documented ingredients, strengths and Rochester-Pean instrument specifications.
Riopan is a medicine brand name in the official labels below. If your intended lookup was Péan (Pean) forceps, that is a separate instrument name. The Belgian Riopan leaflet identifies an oral magaldrate product, while Sklar lists Rochester-Pean as hemostatic forceps. Belgian Riopan leaflet · Sklar Rochester-Pean catalogue
Identify the product from its full label
Riopan alone does not establish the active ingredient. These two documented products have different ingredients and dosage forms:
| Documented product | Ingredient and strength | Form and identifying information |
|---|---|---|
| Belgian Riopan | Magaldrate 800 mg/10 mL | Oral suspension; the leaflet describes an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid. Official leaflet |
| U.S. Riopan, OPMX LLC | Esomeprazole 20 mg per capsule, supplied as esomeprazole magnesium | Delayed-release capsules; package NDC 69729-791-14. DailyMed label |
The U.S. label was revised in October 2026. These are identification examples, not a worldwide product list or a substitution guide. Match the country, active ingredient, strength and dosage form on the actual package; direct medicine-use questions to a pharmacist.
If you meant Péan forceps
For a documented Rochester-Pean example, Sklar’s Surgi-OR 95-473 has:
- Finger-ring handles with a ratchet.
- Straight jaws with full horizontal serrations.
- Overall length 159 mm (6¼ inches), as listed by the manufacturer.
- Reusable stainless-steel construction, supplied non-sterile.
Those specifications belong to that exact model, not every instrument carrying the Péan name. Sklar model specifications
For an unfamiliar instrument, record its manufacturer and catalogue number alongside jaw pattern, curvature, handle and length. Our guide to forceps and tweezers explains the broader distinction between spring-arm and ring-handled forms.
