    To answer this properly would take a lot of time. Lansoprzole is a proton pumb inhibitors -  cuts down the acid an protects the stomach and oesophagus from erosion and inflammation, usually given in a low dose with non steroidal antii-flammatories. Also given for stomach and duodenal ulcers in combination with a two week treatment of antibiotics to irradication the H.Pylori bacteria which is responsible for in the region of 90% of gastric and duodenal ulcers - discovered not so very long ago by a New Zealand scientist - after the course will usually never re occur and a small dose being given by itself as prophylaxis for a time. Drugs in the UK always have two names written on the box one manufacturer other generic the other name being zoton here. Read the instructions inside and ask the pharmacist - make sure you are taking this tablet in the right dose and for the right thing - ask you DR if not sure. Also your pharmacist will know.   Now the writing is too small -
