Pediatrician 's  Response
Dear user,

Lansoprazole or lanzol is an effective drug in conditions of the stomach where the acid secretion is increased. I am not sure why it was started in your 4-year old. If it is effective, you may continue it, but if it is not making a difference, then consider stopping it. However, may I tell you that lanzol is safe to use and has no major side effects or interactions.
