Acidity, heartburn, and acid-related stomach disorders are increasingly common due to irregular eating habits, stress, spicy food, and lifestyle changes. Conditions such as acid reflux, gastritis, and peptic ulcers can significantly affect daily comfort, sleep quality, and overall health if not treated properly. Reducing excess stomach acid is essential for relieving symptoms and allowing the digestive tract to heal.
LANSOSTRUM 15 DT, containing Lansoprazole 15 mg, is a trusted proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess acid production in the stomach. The DT (dispersible tablet) formulation makes it easy to administer, especially for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, including elderly individuals and children (as prescribed).
Lansoprazole works by blocking the acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining, providing long-lasting relief from acidity and promoting healing of acid-related damage.
