Lansoprazole capsules

What do lansoprazole capsules do?
LANSOPRAZOLE (Prevacid(R)) prevents the production of acid in the stomach, reducing symptoms and preventing injury to the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Lansoprazole heals active gastric or duodenal ulcers, and is useful in conditions that cause excessive stomach acid production such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

What should my health care professional know before I take lansoprazole?

How should I take this medicine?
Take lansoprazole capsules by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Swallow the capsules whole with a drink of water; do not crush or chew. Lansoprazole works best if taken on an empty stomach. It is best to take the capsules 30 to 60 minutes before food. Take your doses at regular intervals.

Do not crush the contents of the capsule into the food. Swallow the dose immediately after preparing it; do not chew. Follow with a drink of water.

Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
