How does Zoton FasTab work?

Zoton FasTab belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This class of medication stop cells in the stomach from producing excessive amounts of acid.

Cells found on the stomach lining have proton pumps that produce gastric (stomach) acid. Zoton FasTab's active ingredient, lansoprazole, stops the proton pumps from working, consequently reducing the production of gastric acid.

It is through stomach acid reduction that Zoton FasTab helps in relieving painful heartburn symptoms by decreasing the risk of acid escaping via the lower oesophageal sphincter and causing GORD.

How do I take Zoton FasTab?

Always take Zoton FasTab as prescribed.

It's important to take Zoton FasTab at the same time every day.

Take Zoton FasTab 30 minutes before food.

Zoton FasTab are designed to melt on the tongue, making them easier to take by those with difficulty swallowing capsules.

To take Zoton FasTab:

1. Place 1 capsule on your tongue
2. Gently suck on the capsule. The shell will dissolve and release micro-granules.
3. Swallow the micro-granules without chewing them.

The capsule can be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Your doctor or pharmacist might ask you to administer Zoton FasTab using a syringe if you have difficulty swallowing tablets. The doctor will instruct you on how to administer via syringe should this be the case.

The recommended dose for heartburn treatment is one 15 mg or 30 mg Zoton FasTab capsule daily for 4 weeks. Try to take the medication at the same time every day. You are likely to get better results by taking Zoton FasTab first thing in the morning. Report to your pharmacist or doctor if symptoms haven't cleared within 4 weeks.
