What Experts Say

Exazole contains lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It blocks the acid pumps in stomach lining cells, which sharply lowers acid production. A doctor may suggest it for people who take frequent painkillers that irritate the stomach lining.

Less acid means heartburn settles and ulcers and inflamed food pipe tissue get time to heal. Full effect builds over 1 to 4 days, so it is not a quick antacid. Lifestyle steps such as smaller meals, avoiding late night eating and quitting smoking help the medicine work better.

PPIs are best used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. Long term use can lower vitamin B12 and magnesium, so regular review with a doctor is sensible. Tell your doctor if you need it daily for more than a few weeks so the cause can be reviewed. Older adults and people with liver disease may need a lower dose, so always follow the prescription and check with your doctor first.
