Member's Mark Lansoprazole Delayed Release Capsules, 15 mg (42 Count)

Active Ingredient: Lansoprazole 15 mg

Each delayed-release capsule contains 15 mg of lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This medication works by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining, reducing gastric acid production. The delayed-release formulation ensures the medicine is released in the intestine for optimal absorption while minimising stomach irritation.

How Lansoprazole Works to Reduce Acid

Lansoprazole targets the acid-producing cells in the stomach. It inhibits the enzyme H+/K+ ATPase (the proton pump), decreg the amount of acid secreted. This leads to a sustained reduction in heartburn symptoms over time, unlike antacids that provide only immediate neutralisation. By lowering acid production, lansoprazole allows the oesophagus to heal and helps prevent symptom recurrence.

Relief from Frequent Heartburn

If you experience heartburn two or more days a week, Member's Mark Lansoprazole Delayed Release Capsules can offer effective treatment. Each capsule provides 15 mg of lansoprazole, a PPI that targets the root cause of acid production rather than just neutralising existing acid. Note that this product is not for immediate relief; it may take 1 to 4 days to achieve full effect. It is designed for those needing consistent acid control.

Benefits for Frequent Heartburn Sufferers

• Reduces stomach acid production at the source
• Delayed-release design for optimal absorption

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional. Store at room temperature (20–25°C) and protect from moisture. The product has a 180-day shelf life from the date of manufacture.

Lansoprazole is generally well tolerated but may cause side effects including headache, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, kidney problems, or low magnesium levels. Prolonged use (more than 14 days) may increase the risk of bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, and certain infections. Do not use if you are allergic to lansoprazole or any PPIs. Consult a doctor before use if you have liver disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking medications such as warfarin, methotrexate, or antiretroviral drugs. Do not use if you have blood in stool, vomit blood, or severe abdominal pain. This product may interact with clopidogrel, digoxin, iron supplements, and antifungal medications. Keep out of reach of children. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
