Lansoprazole
Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is Lansoprazole?
Prevacid 15 mg Cap
Drug Name: LANSOPRAZOLE DR- ORAL
Other Brand Names: Prevacid
Uses: Lansoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Lansoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). If you are self-treating with this medication, over-the-counter lansoprazole products are used to treat frequent heartburn (occurring 2 or more days a week). Since it may take 1 to 4 days to have full effect, these products do not relieve heartburn right away. For over-the-counter products, carefully read the package instructions to make sure the product is right for you. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar brand names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.
All forms of drug:
lansoprazole Cap, Delayed Release
,
lansoprazole Rapid Dissolve Tab, Delayed Release
,
lansoprazole IV
