How is Lansoprazole Enteric-coated Tablets?

Lansoprazole enteric-coated tablets are a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) primarily used to treat various diseases caused by excessive gastric acid, such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By inhibiting the proton pump in gastric parietal cells, it reduces gastric acid secretion, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa, promoting ulcer healing, and relieving stomach pain.

Lansoprazole enteric-coated tablets offer good efficacy, convenient administration, affordability, and safety. However, a small number of patients may still experience side effects. Liver and kidney function should be monitored during use, and long-term, high-dose usage should be avoided. Alcohol consumption and foods or beverages that may interfere with drug absorption should also be avoided during treatment. The advantage of lansoprazole enteric-coated tablets lies in their enteric coating, which ensures that the drug is not degraded by gastric acid before reaching the small intestine, thereby allowing full absorption of the active ingredient and ensuring maximum therapeutic effectiveness.

Long-term use of lansoprazole enteric-coated tablets may lead to certain side effects, such as osteoporosis and vitamin B12 deficiency. Therefore, the medication should be used appropriately under a physician's guidance, with regular monitoring of physical health.
