Eloza 30 mg Capsule

Eloza 30 mg Capsule is a prescription gastro health medicine that contains 30 mg of lansoprazole in each capsule. It belongs to a class called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which are used to reduce stomach acid. Doctors prescribe Eloza 30 mg Capsule for conditions caused or worsened by excess acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used as part of treatment plans for H. pylori infection or acid-related conditions when a proton pump inhibitor is needed.

How it works: Lansoprazole in Eloza 30 mg Capsule blocks the acid-producing pump in the stomach lining, which lowers the amount of acid made. As a capsule, it is swallowed whole so the medicine can be released properly and work in the body after it reaches the intestine.

Eloza 30 mg Capsule is the full-strength lansoprazole capsule strength in this product listing, so it is not a lower starter dose. A doctor may choose Eloza 30 mg Capsule when symptoms are more significant, when healing is needed, or when a once-daily 30 mg dose is appropriate for the condition being treated. Because this is a higher-strength capsule, it should be used only after a clinician has decided it fits the patient’s needs.

• GERD/acid reflux
• Heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer
• Duodenal ulcer
• H. pylori combination therapy

• Swallow the Eloza 30 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it before meals, ideally before eating, unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• If you have trouble swallowing, ask a pharmacist or doctor whether the capsule contents can be opened and given the correct way.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep acid control steady.
• Do not take it more often or for longer than prescribed, even if symptoms improve.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Eloza 30 mg Capsule provides 30 mg of lansoprazole. The dose may be taken once daily for many acid-related problems, but some treatment plans may use a different schedule based on the diagnosis and other medicines being used. Do not exceed the amount your doctor prescribes; the maximum daily dose depends on the condition and the full treatment plan.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
