Lansazol® (lansoprazole)

Lansazol^® (lansoprazole) belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) which block the production of acid in the stomach, and can therefore treat a range of conditions related to too much stomach acid, such as stomach and intestinal ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and persistent cough. It is also indicated in combination treatment for eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria in H.pylori-associated ulcers, and for treatment or prophylaxis related to benign gastric and duodenal ulcers associated with long term NSAID treatment.

Although improvement in symptoms typically starts within 2 or 3 days after beginning treatment with Lansazol^® (lansoprazole) it may take up to 4 weeks for a full recovery from symptoms.
