Lansoprazole is a prescription-only treatment for heartburn. The active ingredient shares the same name as the product - Lansoprazole. If you are looking to buy Lansoprazole online, it is available in oral tablets from our online pharmacy.
Lansoprazole helps to prevent the pain and discomfort you experience due to heartburn by preventing the stomach from making an abundant amount of stomach acid during digestion.
While you cannot buy Lansoprazole over the counter, you can buy Lansoprazole online from Prescription Doctor, following a short consultation with our doctor. A prescription can be issued online for our UK registered pharmacy to fulfil.
When you buy Lansoprazole through our online service, our UK based pharmacy will dispatch your item in discreet packaging to ensure your privacy. Items are dispatched straight to your door via a next-day delivery service, to ensure you get relief from heartburn as soon as possible.
Heartburn, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and acid reflux, is a condition in which stomach acid rises up the oesophagus. This can happen when the lower oesophageal sphincter, a muscle which prevents the stomach contents from reaching the oesophagus, becomes weakened or relaxed.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, is the American spelling of Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, GORD.
When the oesophagus is exposed to stomach acid, the oesophageal tissue can become inflamed and damaged.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease can also cause asthma symptoms to flare up. If you are asthmatic and have gastroesophageal reflux disease, speak to your doctor or asthma nurse about managing your GORD symptoms.
Symptoms of heartburn include:
While heartburn itself is not a serious condition, stomach acid can damage the cells in the oesophagus which carries risks of further complications, such as Barrett's oesophagus. Speak to your doctor if you are concerned about developing Barrett's oesophagus as a result of chronic GORD.
There are steps you can take to prevent heartburn from developing, such as:
Other possible causes of heartburn include:
If you believe a medication you are taking is causing heartburn, speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist for advice. They may be able to prescribe or recommend a heartburn treatment for you.
For relief from heartburn, Lansoprazole can be prescribed.
When you eat food, contractions in the oesophagus push chewed up food (known as bolus) down towards the stomach. Where the lower oesophagus meets the stomach, there is a sphincter. As bolus approaches the stomach, it triggers nerves which stimulate the sphincter to relax, allowing the chewed up food to enter the stomach. Once the food is in the stomach, the sphincter closes to prevent stomach acid from reaching the oesophagus.
In some people, the lower oesophageal sphincter is weakened and doesn't provide a tight enough seal to prevent stomach acid from reaching the sensitive tissue of the oesophagus. This causes stomach acid to enter the oesophagus, resulting in the distinct burning sensation.
Foods high in fat, including chocolate, cheese and whole milk, can weaken the lower oesophageal sphincter, increasing the risk of heartburn. Foods which take longer to digest, such as spicy foods, can also increase your risk of oesophageal reflux. Acidic and spicy foods might also worsen your heartburn symptoms.
Lansoprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Known as a proton pump inhibitor, the medicine prevents cells in the lining of the stomach from producing stomach acid.
By reducing excess acid in the stomach, the chances of developing heartburn are reduced.
For the treatment of heartburn and indigestion, take one 15 mg or one 30 mg gastro-resistant capsule in the morning before breakfast. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. It is recommended to take Lansoprazole at least 30 minutes before a meal.
A typical dose for gastroesophageal reflux disease is one 30 mg capsule daily for 4 weeks.
If you have trouble swallowing tablets, you can empty the contents of the capsule into a glass of water or juice and drink it immediately. Alternatively, you can empty the capsule's contents onto soft food to make it easier to take.
If you are unsure about how much you should take, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
All medicines carry the risk of side effects, though not everybody gets them. It is important to familiarise yourself with the patient information leaflet which comes enclosed with your medicine.

If you experience an allergic reaction after taking Lansoprazole, seek immediate medical attention by going to the A&E department of the nearest hospital.
Lansoprazole is not suitable for everybody. Before taking Lansoprazole, speak to your doctor if you are also taking:
Please inform our prescriber of any medicine you take, including those prescribed by your doctor and those bought over-the-counter, including health and herbal supplements, before you buy Lansoprazole. Our doctors will determine whether the treatment is safe for you.
Always speak to your doctor before you buy Lansoprazole online from Prescription Doctor.
Never take Lansoprazole past the expiry date printed on the packaging. The date refers to the last day of the specified month.
Do not throw away medicine via household or water waste. Take any unwanted or expired medicine to your local pharmacy and ask them to dispose of them safely on your behalf.
Always keep medicine out of the sight and reach of children and pets.
Never share your medicine with anyone else, even if they are experiencing the same or similar symptoms to you.
If you forget to take Lansoprazole when you should, take it as soon as you remember.
Do not take more Lansoprazole to make up for the dose you missed.
Accidentally taking 1 or 2 extra doses is unlikely to harm you. But you should inform your doctor, especially if you notice any of the following symptoms:
While alcohol is unlikely to interact with Lansoprazole, alcohol consumption can exacerbate symptoms of heartburn.
If you are suffering from heartburn, you should consider restricting or avoiding alcohol consumption.
Lansoprazole can cause dizziness, fatigue and blurred vision. If you experience these side effects, you should avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel well enough to do so.
Lansoprazole should not be taken during pregnancy, but may be suitable to take while breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor for more information about whether Lansoprazole is safe for you.
You should inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Lansoprazole.
