About Lanzol 30mg Capsules
Lanzol 30mg Capsules contain Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that provides potent, long-lasting suppression of gastric acid secretion. Unlike H2 blockers (which block histamine receptors), Lansoprazole works at the final step — irreversibly binding the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme (the proton pump) in parietal cells, producing more complete and sustained acid reduction. This makes it highly effective for conditions where H2 blockers provide insufficient relief.
Lanzol 30mg is used for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic and duodenal ulcers, erosive oesophagitis, NSAID-induced gastric ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication (as part of combination therapy). For best efficacy, take 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. Long-term use beyond 8 weeks should be medically supervised, as chronic PPI use may affect magnesium levels and bone density.

Key Benefits
- Powerful proton pump inhibition for sustained acid suppression (up to 24 hours)
- Heals gastric and duodenal ulcers and prevents recurrence
- Relieves heartburn, acid reflux, and epigastric pain
- Protects stomach lining during NSAID or aspirin therapy
- More effective than H2 blockers for GERD and erosive oesophagitis
How to Use
- Take Lanzol 30mg as prescribed — swallow the capsule whole, do not crush or chew.
- Take 30 minutes before meals for maximum acid suppression (ideally before breakfast).
- Continue the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early.
- Consult your doctor before continuing beyond 8 weeks or if symptoms worsen.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How is Lansoprazole different from H2 blockers like ranitidine?
- A: Lansoprazole (a PPI) blocks the proton pump directly for 24-hour acid control; H2 blockers only partially reduce acid and lose effectiveness with repeated use. PPIs are clinically superior for GERD and ulcer healing.
- Q: Is Lanzol safe for long-term use?
- A: Short courses are generally safe. Long-term use (>8 weeks) requires medical supervision due to risks of hypomagnesaemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, and reduced bone density.
- Q: When should I take Lanzol for best results?
- A: Take it 30 minutes before your first meal of the day on an empty stomach for optimal proton pump inhibition.
