What is Lansoprazole?

Lansoprazole is a medication that is used to reduce the production of acids in the stomach. Lansoprazole belongs to a class of acid reducers known as proton pump inhibitors or PPIs. It can be the sole active ingredient in heartburn medications that provide long-term relief of symptoms, or it can be combined with an additional active component that aids in lansoprazole's absorption.

Lansoprazole primarily works by lowering stomach acid production. However, it can also be used to treat duodenal and stomach ulcers, inflammation in the oesophagus, heartburn and acid regurgitation, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

How Does Lansoprazole Work?

Stomach acids play an important role in the digestive process by breaking down food before it reaches the intestines. To protect the oesophagus from these chemicals the oesophageal sphincter contains a group of muscles that act as a one-way barrier that only allows the passage of food. However, the oesophagal sphincter can occasionally weaken, allowing stomach acid to spill over the barrier and into the oesophagus, causing acid reflux. lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that works by blocking the activity of proton pumps (proteins that create acid in the stomach). This lowers stomach acid levels and reduces pain from acid reflux.

How to use Lansoprazole

Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully and check with them if you are unsure about anything.

The orodispersible tablets should be taken orally, but can also be taken using a syringe. If ingested or given via syringe, the following steps must be followed:
Handle the tablets carefully and especially with clean, dry hands to prevent them from breaking.
Dissolve the tablet in water or place it gently on your tongue and suck so that the micro granules are released.
If injected, remove the plunger from the syringe, insert the tablet into the barrel of the syringe, replace the plunger on top of the needle, draw water into the syringe by inverting it and stirring gently until the tablet is dispersed.
Consume the content straight away.
