About this product
Overview
Lanzofix 30mg Capsule contains the active ingredient Lansoprazole, which belongs to the class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is used for the treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions associated with excessive stomach acid production.
Active Ingredient
- Lansoprazole: A proton pump inhibitor that works by reducing the production of stomach acid by blocking the action of proton pumps in the stomach lining.
Uses
Lanzofix 30mg Capsule is indicated for the following conditions:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): To relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and regurgitation caused by excessive stomach acid.
- Peptic Ulcer Disease: To promote healing and prevent recurrence of peptic ulcers in the stomach or duodenum.
- Erosive Esophagitis: To treat inflammation and erosion of the esophageal lining caused by stomach acid.
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: To manage excessive stomach acid production associated with this rare disorder.
Mechanism of Action
Lansoprazole works by irreversibly binding to and inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) enzyme system in the gastric parietal cells. This blocks the final step of acid production, leading to a decrease in gastric acid secretion.
Administration
Take Lanzofix 30mg Capsule orally, usually once daily before a meal, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break the capsule.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Lanzofix 30mg Capsule may include headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and flatulence. These side effects are usually mild and transient. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.
Precautions
- Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially liver or kidney problems.
- Disclose all medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
- Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors like lansoprazole may be associated with an increased risk of certain adverse effects, including fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, and gastrointestinal infections.
When Not to Use
Lanzofix 30mg Capsule should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to lansoprazole or any components of the capsule. It is contraindicated in patients receiving rilpivirine-containing products due to potential drug interactions.
