Lanzol 15 MG Capsule 10 is primarily used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid frequently backs up into the food pipe. This medicine belongs to a group of medications known as proton pump inhibitors.

In addition to managing GERD, it is also used to deal with other acid-related disorders. These include peptic ulcer disease, which encompasses stomach and duodenal ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome - a condition where the stomach produces too much acid.

Before starting this medication, it's crucial to consult your doctor about the correct dosage and frequency for your specific condition. Be sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing diseases or ongoing medication. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. It's important to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Lanzol 15 MG Capsule 10 is used for the following:

Managing symptoms and aiding healing in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) or acid reflux.
Alleviating pain and promoting healing in peptic ulcer disease, including gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Preventing ulcers caused by long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Controlling excessive acid production in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Lanzol 15 MG Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Lanzol 15 MG Capsule 10 contains Lansoprazole (15 mg). It works in the body in the following ways:

Blocks Proton Pump: Lansoprazole inhibits the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system (also known as H+/K+ ATPase, or proton pump) found on gastric parietal cells in your stomach.
Reduces Acid Production: By blocking this enzyme system, which is responsible for the last step of acid production in your stomach, Lansoprazole effectively lowers the amount of acid produced.
