View Patient InformationLansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that helps reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly prescribed to treat a range of stomach and digestive conditions, such as:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) – when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing heartburn.
Stomach and duodenal ulcers – painful sores that form in the stomach or small intestine.
Erosive oesophagitis – irritation or damage to the lining of the oesophagus caused by acid.
Indigestion – discomfort or burning caused by excess stomach acid.
Zollinger–Ellison syndrome (ZES) – a rare condition that causes the stomach to produce too much acid.
Lansoprazole may also be used alongside antibiotics such as clarithromycin or amoxicillin to treat H. pylori–related ulcers.
If you suffer from frequent stomach pain, heartburn, or acid reflux, your doctor may recommend Lansoprazole to relieve symptoms and allow your digestive system to heal. Always take it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
