Introduction to LANSOSTRUM 60

LANSOSTRUM 60 is a medication that contains Dexlansoprazole 60mg, which is a modified-release (MR) formulation of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other acid-related disorders. Dexlansoprazole works by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach, which are responsible for the production of gastric acid. By reducing acid secretion, it helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and discomfort caused by acid-related conditions.

This MR formulation ensures that Dexlansoprazole is released gradually over time, providing prolonged acid suppression and continuous relief from acid reflux symptoms.

Composition of LANSOSTRUM 60

Each capsule of LANSOSTRUM 60 contains:

• Dexlansoprazole (60mg) – A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, helping manage symptoms of acid reflux, GERD, and peptic ulcers.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Modified-Release Formulation:

   • The MR formulation of LANSOSTRUM 60 ensures sustained acid suppression, offering long-lasting relief from GERD and other acid-related conditions. This controlled-release mechanism means that the medication maintains its effectiveness throughout the day, preventing acid reflux and heartburn.

2. Effective in Treating GERD:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 is primarily used for the treatment of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), a condition where stomach acid frequently backs up into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation. By inhibiting stomach acid production, Dexlansoprazole relieves the symptoms associated with GERD, such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort.

3. Peptic Ulcer Healing and Prevention:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 helps in the healing of peptic ulcers by reducing gastric acid secretion, which allows the ulcerated areas in the stomach and duodenum to heal. It also helps prevent the recurrence of these ulcers, especially in patients taking NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

4. Improved Compliance:

   • With its once-daily dosing, LANSOSTRUM 60 provides ease of use and improves patient compliance, as patients do not have to remember to take the medication multiple times a day.

5. Fewer Side Effects:

   • Dexlansoprazole is generally well-tolerated, with fewer side effects compared to some other PPIs. This makes it an ideal choice for long-term management of acid-related conditions.

How LANSOSTRUM 60 Works

Dexlansoprazole in LANSOSTRUM 60 works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining. These proton pumps are responsible for producing hydrochloric acid. By inhibiting these pumps, Dexlansoprazole reduces the secretion of gastric acid, thus helping prevent acid reflux, heartburn, and the irritation of the esophagus.

The modified-release (MR) formulation ensures that the medication is released gradually, allowing it to provide sustained action throughout the day, unlike immediate-release formulations that may require multiple doses.

Indications for LANSOSTRUM 60

LANSOSTRUM 60 is indicated for the treatment and management of the following conditions:

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD):

   • GERD is a chronic condition where acid from the stomach flows back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort. LANSOSTRUM 60 reduces acid production, providing relief from these symptoms.

2. Peptic Ulcers:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 is used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers, promoting healing and reducing symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, and discomfort caused by the ulcer. It also helps prevent ulcers caused by long-term NSAID use.

3. Helicobacter pylori Eradication:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 is sometimes used in combination with antibiotics to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that contributes to the development of peptic ulcers.

4. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome:

   • A condition in which the stomach produces excessive amounts of acid, leading to ulcers. LANSOSTRUM 60 can help manage this excessive acid production.

5. Prevention of NSAID-Induced Ulcers:

   • Patients using NSAIDs for pain management are at risk of developing gastric ulcers. LANSOSTRUM 60 can prevent the formation of these ulcers by inhibiting acid production.

Usage and Dosage

The dosage of LANSOSTRUM 60 will depend on the condition being treated, but typical guidelines include:

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD):

   • Adults: 60mg once daily. It should be taken in the morning, at least 30 minutes before food.

2. Peptic Ulcers:

   • Adults: 60mg once daily. It is usually taken in the morning before a meal.

3. Helicobacter pylori Eradication:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 is often used in combination with other medications (antibiotics). The typical dose is 60mg once daily in combination with appropriate antibiotics.

4. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome:

   • The recommended dose is 60mg once daily, though higher doses may be required based on the severity of the condition.

5. NSAID-Induced Ulcers:

   • 60mg once daily is the usual dose for prevention of ulcers caused by NSAID use.

Benefits of LANSOSTRUM 60

1. Effective Symptom Relief:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 provides effective relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and irritation caused by GERD and other acid-related conditions.

2. Prevents Complications:

   • By controlling acid secretion, LANSOSTRUM 60 helps prevent complications such as esophageal ulcers, strictures, and Barrett’s esophagus, which can result from untreated acid reflux.

3. Convenient and Patient-Friendly:

   • The once-daily dosing of LANSOSTRUM 60 makes it more convenient for patients, improving adherence to the treatment regimen and ensuring consistent results.

4. Promotes Healing of Ulcers:

   • LANSOSTRUM 60 is highly effective in healing both gastric and duodenal ulcers, allowing for quicker recovery and less discomfort.

5. Long-Lasting Effects:

   • The modified-release formula ensures that the medication works throughout the day, providing extended protection from acid reflux and its symptoms.

Side Effects of LANSOSTRUM 60
