What Experts Say

Lansoprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid. With acid production reduced, the stomach lining gets a chance to heal, and symptoms like burning, bloating, and reflux settle down over one to two weeks.

Doctors typically prescribe this capsule for a course of four to eight weeks for ulcer healing, and sometimes longer for chronic acid reflux. It is also commonly paired with painkillers in people who need long-term NSAID therapy, to protect the stomach lining from acid-related damage.

Spicy, oily food and irregular meal timings are common triggers for acidity, and many people reach for an acid-reducing capsule at the first sign of a burning sensation instead of adjusting their diet. Long-term, unsupervised use of these capsules without a doctor's advice can mask a more serious underlying digestive problem, including infections that need different treatment altogether.
