What is Lansoprazole?
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid, effectively treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system in the gastric parietal cells, it decreases acid production, providing relief from symptoms and promoting healing of the esophageal and gastric linings. Typically administered orally, it offers short-term and maintenance therapy for acid-related disorders.Side Effects
