About

What is Lansoprazole?

Lansoprazole belongs to a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. Lansoprazole is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid.

How does Lansoprazole work?

Lansoprazole works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is usually excessive stomach acid that causes acid reflux and heartburn.
