Abstract

Lansoprazole is the new proton pump inhibitor, decreasing the volume of gastric acid secretions and inhibiting secretion of gastric acid and pepsin. Lansoprazole appears to be more effective in therapy of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer in comparison with H2-receptor antagonists and omeprasole. Reflux oesophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are also healed by Lansoprazole. The best results in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer, reflux oesophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome were occurred after a daily 30 mg dose of Lansoprazole. Treatment of patients with duodenal ulcer should be continued for 2 to 4 week and the case of gastric ulcer a well as reflux oesophagitis should be prolonged till 4 to 8 week. Lansoprazole is well tolerated, reported adverse effects are similar to the incidence observed in patients treated with other proton pump inhibitors.
