OWHAT LANSOPRAZOLE CAPSULES ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR

The active ingredient in Lansoprazole is lansoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor. Proton pump inhibitors reduce the amount of acid that your stomach makes.

Your doctor may prescribe Lansoprazole for the following indications:

• Treatment of duodenal and stomach ulcer • Treatment of inflammation in your oesophagus (reflux oesophagitis)

• Prevention of reflux oesophagitis • Treatment of heartburn and acid regurgitation • Treatment of infections caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori when given in combination with antibiotic therapy

• Treatment or prevention of duodenal or stomach ulcer in patients requiring continued NSAID treatment (NSAID treatment is used against pain or inflammation)

• Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Your doctor may have prescribed Lansoprazole for another indication or with a dose different from that which is written in this information leaflet. Please follow your doctor's instructions for taking your medicine.

^ BEFORE YOU TAKE LANSOPRAZOLE CAPSULES

Do not take Lansoprazole if you are:

• allergic (hypersensitive) to lansoprazole or any of the other ingredients of Lansoprazole • taking a medicine containing the active substance atazanavir (used in the treatment of HIV).

Take special care with Lansoprazole Capsules

Please tell your doctor if you have serious liver disease. The doctor may have to adjust your dosage.

Your doctor may perform or have performed an additional investigation called an endoscopy in order to diagnose your condition and/or exclude malignant disease.

If diarrhoea occurs during the treatment with Lansoprazole contact your doctor immediately, as Lansoprazole has been associated with a small increase in infectious diarrhoea.

If your doctor has given you Lansoprazole in addition to other medicines intended for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection (antibiotics) or together with anti-inflammatory medicines to treat your pain or rheumatic disease: please also read the package leaflets of these medicines carefully.

Taking a proton pump inhibitor like Lansoprazole Capsules, especially over a period of more than one year, may slightly increase your risk of fracture in the hip, wrist or spine. Tell your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis).

If you take Lansoprazole on a long-term basis (longer than 1 year) your doctor will probably keep you under regular surveillance. You should report any new and exceptional symptoms and circumstances whenever you see your doctor.

Taking other medicines

Please tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.

In particular tell your doctor if you are taking medicines containing any of the following active substances as Lansoprazole may affect the way these drugs work:

•    ketoconazole, itraconazole, rifampicin (used to treat infections)

•    digoxin (used to treat heart problems)

•    theophylline (used to treat asthma)

•    tacrolimus (used to prevent transplant rejection)

•    fluvoxamine (used to treat depression and other psychiatric diseases)

•    antacids (used to treat heartburn or acid regurgitation)

•    sucralfate (used for healing ulcers)

•    St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) (used to treat mild depression).

Taking Lansoprazole Capsules with food and drink

For the best results from your medicines you should take Lansoprazole at least 30 minutes before food.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant, breast-feeding or if there is a chance you might be pregnant ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Side effects such as dizziness, vertigo, tiredness and visual disturbances sometimes occur in patients taking Lansoprazole. If you experience side effects like these you should take caution as your ability to react may be decreased.

You alone are responsible to decide if you are in a fit condition to drive a motor vehicle or perform other tasks that demand increased concentration. Because of their effects or undesirable effects, one of the factors that can reduce your ability to do these things safely is your use of medicines.

Descriptions of these effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.

Discuss with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are unsure about anything.

Important information about some of the ingredients of Lansoprazole Capsules

Lansoprazole contains sucrose. If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.

^ HOW TO TAKE LANSOPRAZOLE CAPSULES

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. If you find the capsules difficult to swallow your doctor may advise on alternative ways to take your medicine. Do not crush or chew these capsules or the content of an emptied capsule because this will stop them from working properly.

If you are taking Lansoprazole once a day, try to take it at the same time each day. You may get best results if you take Lansoprazole first thing in the morning.

If you are taking Lansoprazole twice a day, you should have the first dose in the morning and the second dose in the evening.

The dose of Lansoprazole depends on your condition. The usual doses of Lansoprazole for adults are given below. Your doctor will sometimes prescribe you a different dose and will tell you how long your treatment will last.

Treatment of heartburn and acid regurgitation: one 15 mg

or 30 mg capsule for 4 weeks. If symptoms persist you should report to your doctor. If your symptoms are not relieved within 4 weeks, please contact your doctor.

Treatment of stomach ulcer: one 30 mg capsule every day for 4 weeks.

Treatment of inflammation in your oesophagus (reflux oesophagitis): one 30 mg capsule every day for 4 weeks.
