Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Lansoprazole 15 mg Ar Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of gastrointestinal conditions. These include Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. The medication is encapsulated in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, providing a precise dosage of the active ingredients and allowing for easy swallowing.

This formulation is a delayed-release capsule, engineered to gradually release the active ingredient, lansoprazole, over a period of time. This slow release ensures a more sustained and consistent therapeutic effect, providing relief from the symptoms associated with the aforementioned gastrointestinal conditions.

Lansoprazole functions by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This helps alleviate the symptoms associated with GERD, PUD, ZES, Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. However, it's crucial to understand that lansoprazole is not a cure for these conditions, but a treatment to help manage the symptoms.

This formulation is gluten-free, making it an appropriate choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or allergies. However, it should not be used by patients with known hypersensitivity to lansoprazole or any of the inactive ingredients in the formulation.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use in treating Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Peptic Ulcer Disease, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, Dyspepsia, or Barrett's Esophagus, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the information and support you need.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
