What Experts Say

Lansoprazole blocks the final step of acid production in the stomach lining by binding to the proton pump inside acid producing cells. This gives longer lasting acid suppression than older acid reducing medicines, which is why one daily dose can control symptoms for a full day.

The 15mg strength is generally used for maintenance therapy or milder reflux symptoms, once the higher 30mg dose has brought the condition under initial control. Doctors usually advise taking it in the morning before breakfast, since food can reduce how well the capsule works.

Acid reflux and peptic ulcer disease are common complaints in outpatient clinics across Pakistan, often linked to spicy diets, irregular meal timing, and frequent use of painkillers. Long term proton pump inhibitor use is generally reviewed periodically, since prolonged use has been linked with reduced absorption of certain nutrients.
