💊 What is Dexlansoprazole?
Dexlansoprazole is a medication from the Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) class.It reduces the production of stomach acid. As a result, it helps relieve conditions like heartburn, gastric ulcers, acid reflux, and indigestion.
What makes this drug special is its dual delayed release technology, meaning it is released in two phases in the stomach — allowing it to work over a longer period. This step-by-step release increases the effectiveness of the drug and provides long-lasting relief to patients.
✅ Benefits of Dexlansoprazole:
Long-term acid control – Works for up to 24 hours with just one dose
Once-daily dosing – No need to take it multiple times a day
Effective at night – Unlike some medications, it controls nighttime acid reflux too
