Lanspic 30mg Capsule is used to treat intestinal and stomach ulcers, inflammation of food pipe, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), heartburn, regurgitation, ulcers caused by the usage of NSAIDs, infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Lanspic 30mg Capsule works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid. This helps in reducing the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.
