LAN 15mg Capsule 10’s

LAN 15mg Capsule contains Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed to treat acid reflux (GERD), heartburn, stomach ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By decreasing acid production, it helps relieve symptoms such as burning sensation in the chest, indigestion, and stomach pain.

This medication protects the stomach lining and allows ulcers to heal by preventing further damage from stomach acid. It is often used in combination with antibiotics for H. pylori infection.

How It Works

Lansoprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, which are responsible for producing gastric acid. By reducing acid levels, it helps in healing ulcers and preventing acid-related damage to the esophagus and stomach.
