Medicine Description lanzor 30mg
Lanzor 30mg Capsule is a medication belonging to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class. Its primary function is to inhibit the gastric proton pump, which plays a crucial role in the final step of gastric acid production in the parietal cells of the stomach lining. By binding to the proton pump, lansoprazole effectively reduces the secretion of gastric acid, leading to increased gastric pH. This reduction in acidity not only helps heal existing ulcers and esophagitis but also provides symptomatic relief in conditions characterized by excessive acid production, such as GERD. The decreased acidity also promotes the healing of the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract and mitigates discomfort caused by acid reflux.
