Lansoprazole

Description

Lansoprazole is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in your stomach. This can help with conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and other stomach issues caused by excessive stomach acid. Lansoprazole is suitable for adults who experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach ulcers.
