What Experts Say

Lansoprazole blocks the proton pump in stomach cells, the final step in acid production. This lowers the amount of acid released into the stomach, which relieves heartburn and gives ulcers or an irritated esophagus lining time to heal.

Doctors usually prescribe it for four to eight weeks for reflux or ulcer healing, then reassess whether a lower maintenance dose is needed. It is also combined with two antibiotics for one to two weeks when treating H. pylori infection, and physicians caution against stopping the course early even if symptoms improve quickly.

Spicy, oily meals and irregular eating times are common triggers for acid reflux in daily life, and many people take an acid-reducing capsule on their own for months without ever checking whether an ulcer or infection is the real cause. A short course guided by a doctor works better than open-ended self-treatment.
