Lansotaj 15mg Capsule

Lansotaj 15mg Capsule belongs to a group of antiulcer medicines called 'proton pump inhibitors' used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, inflammation of food pipe (oesophagus), gastro-oesophagal reflux disease - GERD (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), heartburn, regurgitation, ulcers caused by the usage of pain killers, infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. 

Lansotaj 15mg Capsule contains 'Lansoprazole' that works by blocking the action of an enzyme known as the gastric proton pump responsible for the production of acid. This helps in reducing the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, flatulence (wind), dry mouth, skin rash, itching, and tiredness. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, or if you are due to have Chromogranin A blood test. Lansotaj 15mg Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Lansotaj 15mg Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate the production of stomach acid. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects.
