Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Lansoprazole 30 mg Ar Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of gastrointestinal conditions. These include Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. The medication is encapsulated in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, providing a precise dosage of the active ingredients and allowing for easy swallowing.

This formulation is a delayed-release capsule, engineered to gradually release the active ingredient, lansoprazole, over a period of time. This slow release ensures a more sustained and consistent therapeutic effect, helping to manage the symptoms of the aforementioned gastrointestinal conditions more effectively.

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that functions by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This action helps alleviate the symptoms associated with GERD, PUD, ZES, Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. However, it's crucial to understand that while lansoprazole can help manage these symptoms, it does not cure the conditions themselves.

This formulation is gluten-free, making it an appropriate choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or allergies. However, it should not be used by patients with a known hypersensitivity to lansoprazole or any of the inactive ingredients in the formulation.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use in treating GERD, PUD, ZES, Dyspepsia, or Barrett's Esophagus, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our team of compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is here to assist you.
