Buy Lansoprazole Online
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), commonly referred to as acid reflux. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces, providing relief from symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort. Our private pharmacy service allows eligible adults to access this treatment conveniently, following a quick online consultation with a trained pharmacist.
Who Can Use Lansoprazole?
This treatment is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who have been diagnosed with GORD or frequently experience symptoms such as:
- Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn)
- Acidic taste in the mouth or regurgitation
- Discomfort after eating or lying down
It is especially helpful for individuals who have already tried antacids or H2 blockers and need longer-lasting relief. You do not need a prior GP prescription to access this service – our pharmacist will assess your suitability before issuing the medication.
Who Should Not Use Lansoprazole?
Lansoprazole is not suitable for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
- Anyone with suspected stomach ulcers, stomach cancer, or unexplained weight loss
- Patients experiencing vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or blood in stool
- Those with moderate to severe liver disease
- Anyone allergic to PPIs (including omeprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole)
- People taking medications known to interact with PPIs
If you experience worsening or persistent symptoms, a GP referral for further investigation (e.g., endoscopy) is recommended.
How to Take Lansoprazole
Lansoprazole is available in 15mg or 30mg gastro-resistant capsules or orodispersible tablets. The usual starting dose is 30mg once daily, taken 30 minutes before breakfast. Your pharmacist will advise if a lower dose (15mg) is more appropriate for maintenance therapy or milder cases.
- Do not chew or crush the capsules or tablets
- Take with water before food for best results
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not double up
The standard course of treatment is 4 weeks. If symptoms persist, you may need longer-term treatment or further testing.
Side Effects and Monitoring
Most people tolerate Lansoprazole well. However, possible side effects include:
- Headache, nausea, or diarrhoea
- Abdominal pain or constipation
- Flatulence or dizziness
Rare long-term effects (with extended use beyond 3 months) may include vitamin B12 deficiency, magnesium or calcium depletion, and increased risk of bone fractures or gastrointestinal infections. Regular monitoring may be needed if using PPIs for extended periods.
Important Safety Information
This is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). Do not take Lansoprazole without completing the pharmacist consultation. If symptoms worsen or new symptoms appear, seek medical advice. Always follow dosage instructions and report any side effects.
