What is Lansoprazole?
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and stomach ulcers by reducing acid production in the stomach. It works by inhibiting the enzyme H+/K+ ATPase in the gastric parietal cells, leading to decreased gastric acidity and relief from symptoms associated with excess stomach acid.
