This medication works by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. The delayed-release formulation ensures the drug is released in the intestine for optimal absorption and minimises stomach irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Lansoprazole Reduces Acid Production\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLansoprazole targets the acid-producing cells in the stomach by inhibiting the enzyme H+\/K+ ATPase (the proton pump). This decreases the amount of acid secreted into the stomach, leading to a sustained reduction in heartburn symptoms. Unlike antacids that neutralise acid after it is produced, lansoprazole provides lasting relief by stopping acid at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits for Frequent Heartburn Sufferers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides effective relief from frequent heartburn (heartburn that occurs 2 or more days per week)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces stomach acid production at the source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelayed-release design for optimal absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient once-daily dosage (one capsule per day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 14-capsule bottles for easy handling and portability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare to the active ingredient of Prevacid 24 HR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Dosage and Administration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake one 15 mg capsule once daily, preferably in the morning before eating.
