Uses of Lan Capsules
Lan capsules (Generic Lansoprazole capsules) is used to treat certain
conditions where there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to
treat duodenal and gastric ulcers, gastric ulcers caused by NSAID use,
erosive esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
GERD is a condition wherein the acid in the stomach washes back up
into the esophagus. Sometimes lansoprazole is used in combination
with antibiotics (eg, amoxicillin, clarithromycin) to treat ulcers
associated with an infection caused by H. pylori bacteria.
Lansoprazole is also used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES),
which is a condition where the stomach produces too much acid.
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by decreasing
the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Lan Capsules (Generic Lansoprazole Capsules)
Warnings
When treating a gastric ulcer with Lansoprazole the possibility of malignant
gastric tumour must be excluded because Lansoprazole can mask the
symptoms and delay the diagnosis.
Lansoprazole must be used with caution in patients with moderate and
severe hepatic dysfunction.
In patients suffering from gastro-duodenal ulcers, the possibility of H. pylori
infection as an etiological factor must be considered.
Due to the fact that limited safety data for patients on maintenance
treatment for periods longer than 1 year is available, regular review of the
treatment and a thorough risk/benefit assessment must be regularly be
performed in these patients.
Rare cases of colitis have been reported in patients taking Lansoprazole.
Therefore, in the case of severe and/or persistent diarrhoea, discontinuation
of therapy should be considered.

Lan Capsules (Generic Lansoprazole Capsules)
Warnings
The treatment for the prevention of peptic ulceration of patients in need
of continuous NSAID treatment should be restricted to high risk
patients.
Severe hypomagnesaemia has been observed in patients treated with
PPIs like Lansoprazole capsules for at least three months, and in most
cases for a year. Serious manifestations of hypomagnesaemia such as
fatigue, tetany, delirium, convulsions, dizziness and ventricular
arrhythmia can occur but they may begin insidiously and be overlooked.
For patients expected to be on prolonged treatment or who take PPIs
with digoxin or drugs that may cause hypomagnesaemia (e.g., diuretics),
doctors should consider measuring magnesium levels before starting
PPI treatment and periodically during treatment.

Lan Capsules During Pregnancy
Lansoprazole (Lan Capsules) is classified by the US FDA as
Pregnancy Category B.
Reproduction studies on animals have revealed no evidence of
impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to Lansoprazole.
However, no adequate or well-controlled studies have been
conducted in pregnant women. Since animal reproduction
studies are not always predictive of human response, this
medicine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly
needed.
