Product Description

Lansoprazole Tablets IP 15 mg DT is an anti-ulcer medication belonging to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is used to reduce excess stomach acid in conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. It also helps in the prevention and healing of ulcers in the oesophagus.

Lansoprazole works by suppressing acid production in the stomach, thereby relieving symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach discomfort, while allowing damaged tissues in the digestive tract to heal. The dispersible tablet (DT) formulation is especially useful for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

This medicine should be used under medical supervision, particularly in children or patients with underlying health conditions.

How it works
