Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Laanzopen 30 Capsule 10. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Laanzopen 30 Capsule 10 contains lansoprazole (30 mg), which works in the following ways:

Proton Pump Inhibition: Lansoprazole works by blocking a component in your stomach wall called a proton pump. This pump is mainly responsible for producing hydrochloric acid.
Acid Production Reduction: Lansoprazole reduces acid production by inhibiting the proton pump. Lowering stomach acidity helps heal gastric and duodenal ulcers, reduces reflux symptoms, and prevents acid-related damage to the food pipe.
