About LAN-15 Capsule

LAN-15 Capsule belongs to a group of antiulcer medicines called 'proton pump inhibitors' indicated in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome. It is also used to prevent and treat ulcers of the oesophagus.
 
LAN-15 Capsule contains 'Lansoprazole' that works by blocking the action of an enzyme known as the gastric proton pump responsible for the production of acid. This helps in reducing the symptoms of heartburn, reflux and promotes the healing of ulcers.
 
In some cases, LAN-15 Capsule may cause side effects such as headache, constipation, stomach upset, and stomach pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to seek medical advice if these side effects bother your child for a long time.
 
Let the doctor know if your child is allergic to any of the components in LAN-15 Capsule . Keep your doctor informed about your child's health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn.

Erosive esophagitis: It occurs due to the reflux of gastric contents into the stomach, which leads to mucosal injury and damages the tissue lining the oesophagus.

Zollinger Ellison syndrome: It is a condition in which a gastrin-secreting tumour of the pancreas causes excessive acid production leading to ulcers.

Ulcers: Excess acid production damages the lining of the stomach and duodenum (the first part of the intestine), leading to ulcers.
