Description
Lansoprazole gastro-resistant capsule split open to show its contents. Lansoprazole is a protein pump inhibitor drug used to treat a number of diseases that are caused by the overproduction of stomach acid. Gastro-resistant capsules have a coating that delays the release of the drug inside until the capsule has passed from the stomach to the duodenum (upper small intestine) and so are used to treat duodenal ulcers.
