Mode of actions

Dexlansoprazole is a type of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole. It works by attaching to the proton pumps (H+/K+ ATPase) in the stomach lining, which stops the release of stomach acid. The medication comes in a dual-release form for longer-lasting effect.
