lansoprazole

Lansoprazole is a medication that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It's commonly used to treat conditions like acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stomach ulcers. By lowering stomach acid, it helps relieve heartburn, pain, and promotes healing of irritated tissues. Lansoprazole works by blocking a specific enzyme in the stomach lining responsible for acid production. It is usually taken once daily, and while effective, it should be used as directed by a healthcare provider to minimize potential side effects and ensure proper treatment.
