Lonto 30 mg Capsule

Lonto 30 mg Capsule is a prescription gastro-health medicine that contains 30 mg of lansoprazole in each capsule. Lansoprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers stomach acid production. It is used to treat acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, stomach ulcers, and other problems caused by too much acid. Lonto 30 mg Capsule comes as a strip/box of 10 capsules from Aronex Life Sciences.

How it works: After you swallow Lonto 30 mg Capsule, the capsule releases lansoprazole in the gut, where it is absorbed into the body. The medicine then blocks the stomach’s acid pumps, helping reduce acid and allowing irritated tissue in the esophagus or stomach to heal.

Lonto 30 mg Capsule is the higher-strength lansoprazole capsule in this product listing, so it is typically chosen when a clinician wants a full adult-strength dose rather than a lower-dose option. Because each capsule contains 30 mg, it may be used for patients who need stronger acid control, faster symptom relief over time, or maintenance treatment decided by a doctor.

• GERD and heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach and duodenal ulcers
• Hypersecretory acid conditions
• Helicobacter pylori treatment with other medicines

• Swallow Lonto 30 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it before a meal, often before breakfast, because lansoprazole works best before eating.
• If you are using it for H. pylori, take it exactly with the other prescribed antibiotics on the schedule given.
• Use the capsule exactly as directed; do not take extra doses to treat sudden heartburn.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Lonto 30 mg Capsule provides 30 mg of lansoprazole. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily, and in some cases a doctor may prescribe it more than once daily; the exact schedule and the maximum daily dose are determined by the prescriber. Do not change the dose on your own, especially with this higher-strength capsule.

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

Common side effects of Lansoprazole may include:

• headache
• diarrhea
• nausea
• abdominal pain
• constipation
• gas or bloating
• dizziness

• Lonto 30 mg Capsule is a full-strength lansoprazole capsule, so it should be used only when a clinician has decided acid suppression at this dose is appropriate.
• Long-term use can lower vitamin B12 or magnesium levels and may increase fracture risk in some people.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, or a history of low magnesium before starting this capsule.
• Seek medical advice if you have trouble swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools, because these are not simple reflux symptoms.
• Tell your prescriber if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding so they can judge whether Lonto 30 mg Capsule is appropriate.
• Alcohol may irritate the stomach and can worsen reflux symptoms, even while you are taking lansoprazole.
• This medicine can affect alertness in some people; use caution with driving if you feel dizzy or unwell.

• warfarin and other blood thinners
• atazanavir or rilpivirine
• methotrexate, especially high-dose treatment
• clopidogrel may be less effective in some patients
• ketoconazole, itraconazole, or iron products because absorption may change

Store Lonto 30 mg Capsule in its original strip/box at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
