Lansoprazole Capsules IP 15 mg: Uses

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) – for heartburn and acid regurgitation
Healing and prevention of gastric and duodenal ulcers
Erosive esophagitis
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a rare condition causing excess stomach acid)
As part of combination therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication

How Lansoprazole works

Lansoprazole works by blocking the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) in the stomach lining, which is the final step of acid production. This reduces both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, providing relief from acid-related symptoms and allowing damaged tissues to heal.

Common side effects of Lansoprazole

Most people tolerate Lansoprazole well. Common side effects may include:

Headache
Nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
Diarrhea or constipation
Flatulence
Dizziness

Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, kidney problems, low magnesium levels, or increased risk of bone fractures with long-term use. Consult a doctor if you experience unusual symptoms.

Expert advice for Lansoprazole

Take Lansoprazole exactly as prescribed – usually once daily before a meal (preferably breakfast).
Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush or chew. If you have difficulty swallowing, you may open the capsule and mix the granules with soft food or apple juice.
Do not use this medicine for immediate heartburn relief – it works best when taken regularly.
Long-term use (more than 1 year) should be under medical supervision due to potential risks like vitamin B12 deficiency or bone fractures.
Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, or low magnesium levels.
Avoid alcohol and smoking as they can worsen stomach acid problems.
