Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Lansoprazole 30 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, helping to manage the symptoms of the aforementioned gastrointestinal conditions more effectively.

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that functions by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This action helps alleviate the symptoms associated with GERD, PUD, ZES, Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. However, it's crucial to understand that while lansoprazole can help manage these symptoms, it does not cure the conditions themselves.

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 a 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 GERD, PUD, ZES, Dyspepsia, or Barrett's Esophagus, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our team of compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is here to assist you.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Indications include Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a type of medication that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

This reduction in stomach acid can help alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions, such as heartburn, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and abdominal pain. The precise dosage of the active ingredients enclosed in the two gelatin or vegetarian shells allows for convenient and easy swallowing, making it an ideal treatment option for those who struggle with traditional tablet forms.

Lansoprazole is typically taken once daily, 30 minutes before a meal. It is crucial to take this medication exactly as prescribed, without deviating from the recommended dose. Overdosing or underdosing can lead to suboptimal results and potential side effects.

Like all medications, Lansoprazole may interact with other drugs. Therefore, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements. By doing so, your healthcare provider can ensure that Lansoprazole is safe for you to take and will not interact negatively with your other medications.

If you have any questions or concerns about Lansoprazole or its potential interactions, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information about this medication and its use.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This medication is primarily used in the treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Dyspepsia, and Barrett's Esophagus. The active ingredient, Lansoprazole, functions by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with these conditions.

The Lansoprazole 30 mg Ar Capsules are designed as solid dosage forms, composed of two shells, either gelatin or vegetarian, that enclose the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The capsules can be taken orally, with or without food, typically once a day. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider.

It's important to note that Lansoprazole may take up to 4 weeks to start showing its effects. Therefore, even if you start to feel better, it is recommended to continue taking the medication as prescribed.

One of the key uses of Lansoprazole 30 mg Ar Capsules (Gluten Free) is the treatment of erosive esophagitis, a condition characterized by damage to the lining of the esophagus due to acid reflux. The medication works by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby alleviating the symptoms and promoting healing.

In addition, Lansoprazole 30 mg Ar Capsules (Gluten Free) can be used to treat infections caused by Helicobacter pylori, a type of bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. The medication can help to eliminate the bacteria and prevent the formation of ulcers.

Another use of Lansoprazole is in the treatment of hypersecretory conditions, such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. This is a condition in which the body produces too much stomach acid, and Lansoprazole can help to regulate this production.

Lansoprazole 30 mg Ar Capsules (Gluten Free) can also be used to prevent the recurrence of ulcers in patients with a history of ulcers. By reducing the production of stomach acid, the medication can help to prevent the conditions that lead to the formation of ulcers.

Finally, these capsules can be used to treat symptoms of dyspepsia, such as heartburn, indigestion, and bloating. By reducing the production of stomach acid, Lansoprazole can help to alleviate these symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.

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.
