Lansodin Capsule 15 mg contains Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excessive stomach acid production. It is widely prescribed for the treatment of various acid-related gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By lowering stomach acidity, Lansodin helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and stomach pain, while promoting the healing of ulcers and preventing further gastrointestinal complications.

Lansoprazole works at the cellular level in the stomach lining, providing effective, long-lasting acid suppression. This action makes it a first-line therapy for conditions related to hyperacidity.

Composition

Each enteric-coated capsule contains:

• Lansoprazole 15 mg

Mechanism of Action

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that selectively binds to and inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the parietal cells of the stomach. This enzyme is responsible for the final step of acid production. By blocking this proton pump, Lansoprazole:

• Suppresses gastric acid secretion

• Increases gastric pH, reducing acidity

• Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers

• Provides relief from acid-related symptoms such as heartburn and reflux

Unlike antacids that provide temporary relief, Lansoprazole targets the source of acid production, offering prolonged therapeutic effects.

Indications

Lansodin Capsule 15 mg is indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with symptoms of heartburn and acid regurgitation

• Duodenal and gastric ulcers, including those associated with H. pylori infection (as part of combination therapy)

• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions causing excessive stomach acid production

• Prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in patients requiring long-term NSAID therapy

By controlling excessive gastric acid, Lansodin not only alleviates discomfort but also prevents complications such as esophagitis, bleeding, and ulcer recurrence.

Dosage and Administration

• The typical dose for adults is 15 mg once daily, usually taken before meals, preferably in the morning.

• Capsules should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed or chewed, as the enteric coating protects the drug from stomach acid and ensures proper absorption.

• Treatment duration varies based on the condition:

  • Duodenal ulcers: 2–4 weeks

  • Gastric ulcers: 4–8 weeks

  • GERD: 4–8 weeks or as prescribed

• Long-term use should be monitored by a physician.

Benefits

• Provides effective and long-lasting relief from heartburn and acid reflux

• Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers

• Reduces risk of complications associated with excess stomach acid

• Suitable for both short-term and long-term therapy

• Well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile

Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with severe liver disease

• Inform your doctor of all medications, as PPIs can interact with certain drugs like clopidogrel, ketoconazole, and methotrexate

• Prolonged use may lead to vitamin B12 deficiency or low magnesium levels

• Not recommended for immediate relief of acute heartburn; it is intended for sustained acid control
