Lansoprazole is a medicine which reduces stomach acid. It is commonly used to treat acid reflux, chronic indigestion, as well as to treat and prevent peptic ulcers.

Lansoprazole can also given together with antibiotics to help eradicate a type of bacteria that contribute to the formation of peptic ulcers.

Some branded medicines which contain lansoprazole include Razolagerf, Lanziop, Zomel, Zotrole, Lanzol, and Zoton.

Lansoprazole works by dampening electrical signals carried to the cells in the stomach lining from the brain. These signals cause the cells in the stomach to produce acid. By inhibiting their delivery, lansoprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

This relieves stomach acid related issues such as heartburn and indigestion, and allows gastrointestinal ulcers to better heal.
