Mode of actions

Lansoprazole is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the stomach’s parietal cells, which stops the final step of acid production. As a result, lansoprazole reduces both the normal (basal) and triggered (stimulated) release of stomach acid.
