Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR

Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR is a prescription gastro medicine containing dexlansoprazole 60 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers stomach acid production. Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and frequent heartburn related to excess acid.

How it works: Dexlansoprazole works by blocking the acid pumps in the stomach lining, which lowers how much acid the stomach makes. In this capsule form, the medicine is designed to release in a way that helps provide acid control over time after swallowing.

Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR is the 60 mg, higher-strength version of dexlansoprazole and is generally used when a clinician wants stronger acid suppression or maintenance treatment. Because this is a full-strength capsule, it is not the same as a low-dose starting option for every patient, and a doctor chooses it based on symptom severity, healing needs, and response to lower doses.

• GERD symptom control
• Healing of erosive esophagitis
• Maintenance after healing of erosive esophagitis
• Frequent heartburn due to acid reflux

• Swallow Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless your pharmacist or doctor gives special instructions.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily.
• It may be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day.
• If you have trouble swallowing capsules, ask a pharmacist about proper administration options instead of altering the capsule yourself.
• Do not take extra capsules to replace a missed dose; take the next dose at the usual time.

Each Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR provides dexlansoprazole 60 mg per capsule. This strength is commonly taken once daily, and the maximum usual dose is 60 mg per day unless your prescriber specifically directs otherwise. Your doctor decides the right schedule and length of treatment based on your condition and how you respond.

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

• Tell your clinician if you have liver disease before using Lanfil DX 60 Capsule MR.

• If you have chest pain, trouble swallowing, weight loss, or vomiting blood, get medical help right away because these may not be simple heartburn.
• Do not use this capsule to treat sudden chest pain that could be heart-related.
• Tell your doctor about a history of osteoporosis or fractures, especially if you may use this strength for a long time.
• Review all medicines with your pharmacist because dexlansoprazole can change how some drugs work.
