Lansoprazole Capsules

If you have struggled with digestive problems, you must have heard of LansoPharm capsules, but what are LansoPharm capsules really for? This pharmaceutical product is produced in the form of LansoPharm capsules at Kish MediPharm Pharmaceutical Company, but it is also available worldwide in tablet, oral suspension, and ampoule forms.

LansoPharm capsules are one of the products of Kish MediPharm Pharmaceutical Company, which is used as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This drug is produced and supplied in doses of 15 and 30 mg and in packages of 14. LansoPharm capsules are prescribed to reduce stomach acid and treat various digestive problems such as stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and acid reflux disease (GERD). It is best to take LansoPharm capsules once a day before breakfast. Avoid self-medication or discontinuation of this drug without consulting a doctor.

Lansoprazole is actually the brand name for lansoprazole, which is considered an antiulcer and stomach acid reducer.

Lansoprazole uses

LansoPharm capsules are mainly prescribed to people by their doctor to reduce and treat digestive problems. Before using LansoPharm, be sure to read the brochure inside the box carefully. Below, we will mention some of the uses of LansoPharm capsules:

Lansoprazole capsules are intended as short-term treatment. Given that long-term use of Lansoprazole capsules can have irreversible risks, including an increased risk of stomach cancer, consider the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. This medicinal product does not cause dependence or addiction.

The dosage of Lansoprazole capsules is determined depending on the type of patient and the patient's condition, but in general, the maximum daily dose for adults with stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers is 30 mg per day, and for hyperacidity, 180 mg per day is recommended. (This medicine should be taken half an hour to one hour before meals.)

If you miss a dose, take the medicine as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, take Lansoprazole capsules at the usual dose and avoid doubling the dose.

Lansoprazole may be taken with other antacids. Lansoprazole capsules can interfere with some laboratory test results.
