Lansodin Capsule 30 mg contains Lansoprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to manage conditions related to excessive gastric acid secretion. It is prescribed for adults and adolescents to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastric and duodenal ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and to prevent ulcers associated with long-term NSAID use. By reducing stomach acid, Lansodin helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and epigastric discomfort while promoting healing of the stomach and duodenal lining.

Lansoprazole is a long-acting PPI that works directly at the acid-producing cells of the stomach, providing effective and sustained acid suppression, which makes it a preferred option for long-term therapy.

Composition

Each enteric-coated capsule contains:

• Lansoprazole 30 mg

Mechanism of Action

Lansoprazole selectively inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in the parietal cells of the stomach. This enzyme is responsible for the final step of acid production. By blocking it, Lansoprazole:

• Suppresses gastric acid secretion effectively

• Increases gastric pH to reduce acidity

• Promotes healing of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum

• Provides relief from symptoms of acid reflux and GERD

Unlike antacids or H2 blockers, Lansoprazole targets the source of acid production, ensuring longer-lasting symptom control and ulcer healing.

Indications

Lansodin Capsule 30 mg is indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with or without erosive esophagitis

• Duodenal and gastric ulcers, including H. pylori-associated ulcers (in combination therapy)

• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other hypersecretory conditions

• Prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in patients on chronic NSAID therapy

By controlling excessive gastric acid, Lansodin not only alleviates discomfort but also reduces the risk of complications such as bleeding, perforation, and esophageal damage.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual adult dose is 30 mg once daily, preferably taken before meals, usually in the morning.

• Capsules should be swallowed whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split the capsule as the enteric coating protects the drug from stomach acid and ensures proper absorption.

• Treatment duration depends on the condition:

  • Duodenal ulcers: 2–4 weeks

  • Gastric ulcers: 4–8 weeks

  • GERD: 4–8 weeks or as directed

• Long-term use should be monitored under medical supervision.

Benefits

• Provides rapid and sustained relief from heartburn and acid reflux

• Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers

• Reduces risk of complications associated with chronic hyperacidity

• Long-acting formulation allows convenient once-daily dosing

• Well-tolerated with minimal side effects

Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with severe liver disease

• Inform the doctor about all concurrent medications, as PPIs may interact with drugs such as clopidogrel, ketoconazole, or methotrexate

• Long-term use may lead to vitamin B12 deficiency or low magnesium levels

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