Effectiveness
How Prevpac Affects Patients
Lansoprazole works by blocking the enzyme that helps produce stomach acid. It is effective throughout the day and night, and is used to treat ulcers, reduce pain related to ulcers, and relieve heartburn symptoms. It can also be used to lower the amount of acid produced in people with conditions like Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
How Prevpac works in the body
Lansoprazole is a type of drug called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It needs to be activated in an acidic environment. Once activated, it binds to two proteins in the stomach called Cys813 and Cys321, which helps reduce the amount of acid in the stomach. This binding is strong and long-lasting, giving it a long-term effect on reducing acid levels.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed dosage of Prevpac is contingent upon the determined condition, such as A History of Gastric or Duodenal Ulcers, Stomach Ulcer and Erosive Esophagitis. The dosage quantity deviates according to the delivery technique described in the table below.

Prevpac Toxicity & Overdose Risk
Lansoprazole is usually well-tolerated with few side effects, such as abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and nausea. Very rarely, it can cause a serious skin reaction known as toxic epidermal necrolysis. Taking 600 mg of lansoprazole does not appear to cause any adverse effects or symptoms of overdose. Lansoprazole is classified as Pregnancy Category B in the US, meaning it is likely safe to use during pregnancy. However, there is not enough research available to know if lansoprazole is safe to use while breastfeeding.
