Medicine Description lanzor 15mg
Lanzor 15mg Capsule is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It functions by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system located in the gastric parietal cells. This inhibition effectively blocks the final step of gastric acid production, leading to a significant reduction in the secretion of gastric acid. By decreasing acid levels in the stomach, Lanzor alleviates symptoms associated with excessive gastric acidity, promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers, and aids in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
