About this product
Overview
Indpro 30mg Capsule contains the active ingredient lansoprazole, which belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Lansoprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and other acid-related disorders.
Uses
Indpro 30mg Capsule is prescribed for the following purposes:
- Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Lansoprazole is used to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing associated with GERD, a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus.
- Healing and maintenance of peptic ulcers: Indpro 30mg Capsule may be used to promote the healing of peptic ulcers (ulcers in the stomach or duodenum) and prevent their recurrence.
- Management of gastric hypersecretory conditions: Lansoprazole can also be prescribed to manage conditions characterized by excessive stomach acid production, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Side Effects
While Indpro 30mg Capsule is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Constipation
- Flatulence
- Dizziness
- Rash
Rare but serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue, or throat), severe diarrhea, or kidney problems. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, inform your healthcare provider promptly.
Precautions
- Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before starting Indpro 30mg Capsule.
- Take Indpro 30mg Capsule as directed by your doctor, usually once daily before a meal. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or open the capsule.
- Long-term use of lansoprazole may increase the risk of certain side effects, such as bone fractures or vitamin B12 deficiency. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring or supplementation as needed.
When Not to Use
Indpro 30mg Capsule should not be used in individuals with:
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to lansoprazole or any components of the capsule
- Severe liver impairment
- Concomitant use with medications that require gastric pH elevation for absorption (e.g., atazanavir, ketoconazole, iron salts)
