Lansoprazole

Lansoprazole is a stomach acid reducer forming part of the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors. It decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Lansoprazole is not only used to treat acid reflux, but also gastric and duodenal ulcers. It is also used to prevent stomach problems if you are taking drugs that can cause damage to your stomach.

Lansoprazole and the benefit of DNA analysis

The rate at which lansoprazole is processed within your body varies from one individual to another. This means that the efficacy and side effects of lansoprazole can be predicted to some extent on the basis of your genes. Preventive DNA analysis can therefore be an important tool in optimising your medication.
