Mechanism of action

Lansoprazole binds to and inactivates the proton pump (H+/K+-ATPase) on the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, preventing the final step of gastric acid production. This reduces intragastric acidity and allows healing of acid-related lesions. The microgranules suspension formulation provides a delayed-release delivery system suitable for patients with swallowing difficulties.
