Lansoprazole Mechanism of Action – How Does Lan Work?

Lansoprazole belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPI) which inhibit the production of acid by the stomach during digestion. Proton pump inhibitors are used for the treatment of gastro-intestinal conditions such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome that occur due to the presence of stomach acid.
Lansoprazole, similar to other proton-pump inhibitors, inhibits the activity of the enzyme present in the wall of the stomach that produces acid.
By hindering the enzyme activity, the amount of stomach acid decreases, thus enabling the stomach and esophagus to recover from the damage which resulted due to the acid formation.
