兰索拉唑
Lansoprazole, sold under the brand name Prevacid, is a medication which is used to treat too much stomach acid by reducing stomach acid. It is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), used to treat peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. Its effectiveness is similar to that of other gastric acid pump inhibitors. It is available as a prescription medication as well as an over-the-counter medication in the United States in capsule or tablet form, and is administered orally. Onset of symptom relief usually begins within one to two hours, while gastric acid inhibitory effects generally last at least 24 hours. Lansoprazole is generally considered a medication meant to be taken over longer periods of time. Many people use lansoprazole as a daily medication; some other medical indications have a treatment length of two to four weeks.
