Lansoprazole Tablets [28 tablets]

For best results, take Lansoprazole exactly as directed. It is usually taken once daily before a meal, preferably in the morning. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, without crushing or chewing it. If you have difficulty swallowing, some brands allow you to open the capsule and mix the granules with a small amount of soft food or juice. Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding dosage and duration of use.

Each Lansoprazole tablet contains the active ingredient lansoprazole, which belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors. Additional inactive ingredients may vary depending on the brand but typically include substances that help with tablet formulation and absorption. If you have specific allergies or dietary restrictions, check the ingredient list on the packaging or consult your pharmacist.

Like all medications, Lansoprazole may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. The most common side effects include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain. Some people may also experience dizziness or dry mouth. In rare cases, long-term use may lead to more serious issues such as low magnesium levels or increased risk of fractures. If you notice severe side effects like persistent stomach pain, unexplained weight loss, or difficulty swallowing, seek medical attention promptly.

Before using Lansoprazole, it’s important to be aware of certain precautions. Do not take this medication if you are allergic to lansoprazole or other proton pump inhibitors. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, consult your doctor before use. Long-term use may affect nutrient absorption, so speak to your healthcare provider if you need prolonged treatment. If your symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of use, seek medical advice.
