Junior Lanzol 30mg

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat various gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It works by blocking the production of stomach acid, thereby reducing acidity levels in the stomach and alleviating symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach ulcers. By suppressing acid production, lansoprazole also promotes the healing of damaged esophageal or gastric tissues caused by excess stomach acid, helping to prevent complications such as bleeding or perforation.

In addition to its role in managing acid-related disorders, lansoprazole is also prescribed as part of triple therapy regimens for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which can cause peptic ulcers and increase the risk of gastric cancer. This antibiotic combination therapy, which typically includes lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, helps eradicate H. pylori infection and reduces the risk of recurrent ulcers or complications. Lansoprazole is available in various formulations, including delayed-release capsules and orally disintegrating tablets, providing flexibility in dosing and administration to accommodate individual patient needs.
