Lansoprazole 15mg Orally Disintegrating Tablets
SKU GME980Product Introduction
Lansoprazole 15mg is a proton pump inhibitor in an orally disintegrating tablet used for acid-related conditions such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and selected peptic-ulcer treatment plans. The tablet breaks apart in the mouth, while its protected granules deliver the medicine beyond the stomach. It is not an instant antacid.
How to use
Take before a meal, usually before breakfast when used once daily. Place the tablet on the tongue and let it disintegrate, then swallow the granules with or without water. Do not cut, chew or crush the tablet or its granules. Take it at least 30 minutes before sucralfate if both are part of treatment.
How it works
Lansoprazole inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase proton pump in stomach parietal cells. Blocking this final step of acid production reduces the acidity that irritates the oesophagus and ulcerated tissue.
Side effects
Headache, abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea and constipation may occur. Persistent watery diarrhoea, reduced urine output, severe rash or muscle cramps with palpitations needs prompt attention.
Important information
Difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools or unexplained weight loss needs evaluation rather than acid suppression alone. Tell your doctor about liver disease, low magnesium, osteoporosis, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Rilpivirine, certain HIV medicines and high-dose methotrexate have important interactions. Prolonged therapy can affect magnesium and vitamin B12 levels.
Uses
- GERD and acid-related oesophagitis
- selected gastric or duodenal ulcer regimens
- acid suppression within appropriate Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment.
Benefits
Sustained acid reduction can relieve reflux-related burning and support healing of acid-damaged tissue. The disintegrating presentation may help people who have difficulty swallowing a conventional tablet, without losing the protection around the granules.
Does the mouth-dissolving form work like a sublingual medicine?
No. The tablet disperses in the mouth, but the protected granules are swallowed and the medicine is absorbed through the digestive tract. It is not designed for rapid absorption under the tongue.
Will Lansoprazole 15mg stop heartburn immediately?
Not usually. Acid suppression builds with regular doses over the first few days. A disintegrating tablet does not turn a proton pump inhibitor into an immediate antacid.
Can lansoprazole cure H. pylori on its own?
No. When used for H. pylori, it forms part of a regimen with suitable antibiotics. Acid reduction alone does not eradicate the bacteria.
Why must the granules not be chewed?
Their protective coating prevents premature release in stomach acid. Chewing can damage that protection and reduce delivery of active medicine.
