Dexlansoprazole

Dexlansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce the amount of acid the stomach makes. It works by blocking the acid-producing pump in the stomach lining, which can help relieve symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal.

It is commonly used for acid reflux and erosive esophagitis, and may also be prescribed for other stomach-acid related conditions. Dexlansoprazole should be taken exactly as directed, and patients with severe kidney or liver problems, low magnesium, or a history of bone loss should discuss safety with a healthcare professional.
