Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Lansoprazole capsules.
Lansoprazole inhibits the action of the proton pumps in the stomach. This inhibition reduces the production of stomach acid and the excess acid flowing back into the food pipe (esophagus) is stopped. Heartburn symptoms associated with acid flow-back is managed with lansoprazole, with this action; the food pipe heals from previous damages caused by the stomach acid. Lansoprazole’s proton-pump inhibition also allows peptic ulcers to heal and helps in preventing recurrence of acid reflux. Lansoprazole is extensively metabolized in the hepatic system. It is primarily excreted in feces via the bile with only 30% being excreted via the urine.
