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.
