GLANSOPREX x 14

Uses of GLANSOPREX x14

GLANSOPREX is used to treat conditions caused by excessive stomach acid, including:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and acid reflux. GLANSOPREX helps reduce acid production, allowing the esophagus to heal.

Peptic Ulcers: It treats and prevents ulcers in the stomach and small intestine, often caused by bacteria like Helicobacter pylori or the prolonged use of NSAIDs.
Erosive Esophagitis: GLANSOPREX promotes the healing of damage to the esophagus lining caused by prolonged exposure to stomach acid.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A rare condition involving tumors that cause overproduction of stomach acid, leading to severe ulcers. GLANSOPREX helps control excessive acid production.
Prevention of Ulcer Recurrence: Patients who are prone to ulcer recurrence due to underlying medical conditions or medications may be prescribed GLANSOPREX as a preventive measure.

GLANSOPREX x14 Ingredients

The main ingredient in GLANSOPREX x14 is lansoprazole. Inactive Ingredients include; magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and gelatin

How GLANSOPREX × 14 works.

Lansoprazole, the active component of GLANSOPREX, works by inhibiting the proton pumps found in the stomach lining. These proton pumps are responsible for producing hydrochloric acid, a major component of stomach acid. By blocking these pumps, lansoprazole significantly reduces the production of gastric acid. As a result, the stomach and esophagus are given the opportunity to heal from damage caused by excess acid, while symptoms such as heartburn, pain, and discomfort are alleviated.

GLANSOPREX x14 Dosage

GLANSOPREX x14 is typically prescribed in one of two strengths: 15 mg or 30 mg per capsule, with the dosage depending on the patient’s condition and medical history. The usual recommended dosage for adults is:
For GERD and Peptic Ulcers: One capsule (30 mg) taken once daily before a meal. For ulcer healing, treatment usually lasts 4-8 weeks, while for GERD, it may continue for longer depending on the severity of the condition.
For Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Higher doses may be required, and the exact amount is determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition.
Preventive Therapy: A lower dose (15 mg) may be prescribed for long-term prevention of acid-related conditions.

It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage, and the capsules should be taken with water before meals.

GLANSOPREX x14 Side Effects

How long does GLANSOPREX take to work?

Relief from symptoms such as heartburn can be noticed within a few hours, but the full healing process of ulcers or esophagitis may take a few weeks.

Long-term use of GLANSOPREX may be prescribed for certain conditions like GERD or for ulcer prevention, but prolonged use should be monitored by a doctor due to potential risks like nutrient deficiencies or bone thinning.
