LANSOSTRUM 15 DT TABLETS

Description

Lansoprazole 15mg LANSOSTRUM 15 DT is a dispersible tablet formulation of Lansoprazole 15mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat acid-related stomach and esophageal disorders. By reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, LANSOSTRUM 15 DT provides relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and helps heal acid damage to the stomach lining. Lansoprazole works by blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme in the stomach wall, thus stopping the final step of acid production. As a dispersible tablet, LANSOSTRUM 15 DT can be dissolved in water, making it especially suitable for patients who have trouble swallowing regular tablets.
