Perrigo Lansoprazole 15 mg is an over-the-counter proton pump inhibitor formulated to manage frequent heartburn occurring two or more days weekly. Each delayed-release capsule contains 15 mg of lansoprazole, the same active ingredient as prescription-strength Prevacid, delivering 24-hour acid suppression when taken as directed. The specialized enteric coating protects the medication from stomach acid, allowing it to dissolve in the small intestine where it effectively reduces gastric acid production. This 28-count package provides a two-week treatment course for individuals seeking sustained relief from heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. By decreasing stomach acid secretion, lansoprazole helps prevent the discomfort associated with frequent heartburn and allows the esophageal lining to heal. Suitable for adults experiencing chronic heartburn, this cost-effective generic alternative offers comparable efficacy to brand-name options. For optimal results, take one capsule daily before eating, and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist beyond 14 days of continuous use.
