LAN 30mg Capsule 10’s

LAN 30mg Capsule 10’s contains Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces excess stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and acid-related indigestion. By blocking acid secretion in the stomach, it helps relieve heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach irritation, promoting healing of the esophagus and stomach lining.

This delayed-release formulation ensures that Lansoprazole reaches the small intestine before dissolving, providing long-lasting acid suppression for effective symptom relief.
