How It Works
Lansoprazole blocks the gastric proton pump (H+/K+-ATPase) in the stomach lining. By inhibiting this enzyme, it reduces the final stage of stomach acid production. Lower stomach acidity helps relieve acid-related symptoms and supports healing of the esophagus and stomach.

Important Information
Lansoprazole Capsules IP should be used according to the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. Long-term use may require medical monitoring, as prolonged acid suppression can be associated with conditions such as low magnesium or vitamin B12 levels, bone fractures, and certain gastrointestinal infections. Inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking and any history of liver disease or other medical conditions. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or if you experience difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools.
