Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lansoprazole used for?

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid your stomach produces. It is used to treat conditions such as indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and stomach ulcers.

How should I take Lansoprazole?

Lansoprazole should be taken at least 30 minutes before food, ideally in the morning. Swallow the capsules whole with water. If you have trouble swallowing the capsules, we may suggest dispersing them in water​.

Are there any foods I should avoid while taking Lansoprazole?

To get the most from Lansoprazole, avoid trigger foods that worsen acid reflux. This is foods such as tomatoes, chocolate, alcohol, spicy foods, citrus fruits, peppermint, and caffeinated drinks. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding rich or fatty foods can also help.

What are the common side effects of Lansoprazole?

Common side effects include headaches, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, wind, dry mouth, and skin rash. These side effects are usually mild and tend to resolve on their own​.

Can I take Lansoprazole with other medications?

Lansoprazole can interact with certain medications, including digoxin, antifungal drugs, methotrexate, HIV medications, phenytoin, and blood thinners like clopidogrel and warfarin. Always inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking​.

How long does Lansoprazole take to work?

You should start to feel relief from symptoms within 2 to 3 days, but it may take up to 4 weeks for Lansoprazole to work fully. If you don’t see improvement or if symptoms persist, consult your doctor​.
