[A4892][A177065]
[FDA Label] It may be used in the maintenance and healing of several gastric conditions including duodenal ulcers, NSAID related gastric ulcers, and erosive esophagitis.[FDA Label] Lansoprazole prevents recurrence of gastric ulcers in patients who have a documented history of gastric ulcers who also use NSAIDs chronically. [FDA Label] Predictably, it is also useful in the management of hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. [FDA Label] Lansoprazole is effective at eradicating H. pylori when used in conjunction with amoxicillin and clarithromycin (triple therapy) or with amoxicillin alone (dual therapy). [FDA Label]
Known interactions with other medications. Always consult a healthcare professional.

[A177190]
The previously healthy patient presented with symptoms of TEN 15 days after starting lansoprazole to manage peptic disease.
[A177190]
Although the use of PPI's is rarely associated with TEN, causation should be considered if a patient presents with TEN shortly after newly commencing a PPI.
[A177190]
In a single case report, a patient ingested 600 mg of lansoprazole and did not experience any adverse effects or symptoms of overdose.[FDA Label] Overall, lansoprazole is well tolerated with relatively few adverse effects.
Lansoprazole is classified as Pregnancy Category B.[FDA Label] Although there are animal studies that suggest lansoprazole does not cause harm to the fetus, there is still a paucity of human data. Hence, lansoprazole should only be administered to pregnant women if other options with more safety data have been exhausted.
It is unknown if lansoprazole is excreted in human breast milk.[FDA Label] It is worth mentioning that lansoprazole has been used safely in infants, and is therefore likely safe to use during breastfeeding.

How the body processes this drug — absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination
[A174244]
The general consensus is that lansoprazole has a short half life and is approximately 2 hours or less. [FDA Label] These numbers may be misleading since it suggests that lansoprazole has a short duration of action when in practice, lansoprazole can effectively inhibit acid secretion for ~24 hours due to it's mechanism of action. [FDA Label]
[A174244]
[A174244]
The resulting major metabolites are 5-hydroxy lansoprazole and the sulfone derivative of lansoprazole.

Proteins and enzymes this drug interacts with in the body
Within a transport cycle, the transfer of a H(+) ion across the membrane is coupled to ATP hydrolysis and is associated with a transient phosphorylation that shifts the pump conformation from inward-facing (E1) to outward-facing state (E2). The release of the H(+) ion in the stomach lumen is followed by binding of K(+) ion converting the pump conformation back to the E1 state (By similarity)

Axonal polarity is predetermined by TAU/MAPT localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization
