Lantanon 30mg 10Cap

Lantanon Cap

Description:

Lantanon Cap 30 mg is a prescription oral medicine containing lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess stomach acid. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and conditions associated with pathological hypersecretion of acid. By selectively inhibiting the gastric acid pump (H⁺, K⁺-ATPase) in the parietal cells of the stomach, Lantanon Cap provides effective and long-lasting relief from heartburn, acid reflux, and related symptoms, and supports healing of the esophageal and gastric mucosa.

Indications:

• Treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers caused by increased gastric acid secretion.
• Management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive esophagitis and symptomatic reflux (heartburn, acid regurgitation).
• Maintenance therapy to prevent relapse of healed erosive esophagitis.
• Treatment of conditions with pathological hypersecretion of acid such as Zollinger–Ellison syndrome (under specialist supervision).
• Adjunct therapy in combination with appropriate antibiotics for eradication of Helicobacter pylori–associated ulcers (as per physician’s regimen).
• Relief of symptoms related to hyperacidity such as epigastric pain, burning sensation, and acid indigestion, when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Lansoprazole – 30 mg per capsule.
• Other capsule excipients and inactive ingredients are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by a physician or healthcare professional.
• Typical adult dose for GERD and peptic ulcer disease (if prescribed): 30 mg once daily, usually for 2–8 weeks, depending on the condition and response. Exact regimen must be determined by the doctor.
• For maintenance therapy or hypersecretory conditions (e.g., Zollinger–Ellison syndrome), the dose and duration are individualized and may be higher; follow specialist instructions strictly.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsule, as this may affect its enteric coating and efficacy.
• Preferably take the dose before a meal (often before breakfast) for optimal acid suppression, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, especially in long-term therapy, as symptoms may recur.
• Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides potent and sustained reduction of gastric acid secretion by specifically inhibiting the gastric proton pump (H⁺, K⁺-ATPase).
• Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and erosive esophagitis by maintaining a less acidic gastric environment.
• Effectively relieves heartburn, acid reflux, and epigastric pain associated with GERD and hyperacidity.
• Helps prevent recurrence of acid-related damage in maintenance therapy when used under medical supervision.
• Supports eradication regimens for Helicobacter pylori–associated ulcers when combined with appropriate antibiotics, as directed by a physician.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lansoprazole, other proton pump inhibitors, or any component of the formulation.
• Do not use without medical evaluation in the presence of alarming symptoms such as significant weight loss, recurrent vomiting, difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal bleeding (black stools or blood in vomit), or persistent severe abdominal pain.
• Long-term use of PPIs may be associated with increased risk of bone fractures, vitamin b12 deficiency, hypomagnesemia, and certain infections (e.g., Clostridioides difficile–associated diarrhea); long-term therapy should be regularly reviewed by a doctor.
• Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment; dose adjustment may be required under medical supervision.
• May interact with certain medications (e.g., warfarin, digoxin, some antifungals, antiretrovirals, and drugs requiring acidic pH for absorption). Inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, electrolyte disturbances, or are on long-term therapy.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, or dizziness.
• Less common side effects can include rash, itching, dry mouth, fatigue, or changes in liver function tests.
• Serious but rare side effects may include severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing), severe skin reactions, severe diarrhea, or signs of low magnesium (muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, seizures). Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• If you experience persistent or bothersome side effects, or any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
