LANSOSTRUM 60 

Dexlansoprazole (MR) (60mg)

LANSOSTRUM 60 is a medication containing Dexlansoprazole (MR) (60mg), a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems such as acid reflux and ulcers. By reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, it helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. Dexlansoprazole promotes healing of acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus.

How LANSOSTRUM 60 Works

Dexlansoprazole is a delayed-release PPI that works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining responsible for producing acid. The MR (modified release) formulation allows for a dual delayed release of the medication, providing an initial release followed by a second release of the active ingredient. This dual release mechanism ensures prolonged suppression of stomach acid, providing effective relief from symptoms of acid reflux and related conditions.

  2. Erosive Esophagitis: Effective in treating erosive esophagitis, a condition where the lining of the esophagus is damaged due to stomach acid.

  3. Peptic Ulcers: It helps in the treatment and prevention of peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid that can cause or worsen these ulcers.
