Suggest An Alternative Of Lansoprazole
Hello Doctor, Please advise if Lansoprazole has another generic name. My wife has recently been prescribed this medicine and wishes to know if it is intended to replace another medicine that she may have been on. We will go to pharmacy tomorrow but tonight she feels unwell. Many thanks, Timothy Hennessy for Phyllis Hennessy

Hi,
Lansoprazole is an effective acid reducer commonly used to provide heartburn relief and help heal ulcers and so are esomeprazole and omeprazole.
All these drugs function similarly and can be used once a day. She can take Prilosec (Omeprazole ) now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
