Our previous studies have demonstrated that lansoprazole inhibits acute inflammatory reactions as well as intestinal mucosal injuries induced by ischemia-reperfusion or indomethacin administration in rats. Thus, proton pump inhibitors such as lansoprazole have been demonstrated to prevent gastrointestinal mucosal injury by mechanisms independent of acid inhibition. In our in vitro study, lansop...

BACKGROUND Recent in vitro and animal studies have found the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) lansoprazole to be highly active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Omeprazole and pantoprazole have no activity. There is no evidence that, in clinical practice, lansoprazole can treat or prevent incident tuberculosis (TB) disease. METHODS AND FINDINGS We studied a cohort of new users of lansoprazole, o...

We have assessed the efficacy of a single dose of lansoprazole in increasing the pH and decreasing the volume of gastric residue at induction of anaesthesia in adult patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. We studied 66 ASAI-II patients, allocated to one of three groups to receive either placebo (group 1), lansoprazole 30 mg (group 2) or lansoprazole 60 mg (group 3), 8-12 h before ind...

A simple, fast, accurate and precise high performance thin layer chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of domperidone and lansoprazole in capsule formulation. This method allows the determination of 100-500 ng/spot of domperidone and 100-500 ng/spot of lansoprazole. The mobile phase composition was toluene:isopropyl alcohol:chloroform:acetonitrile (4:3:6:2). ...

Collagenous colitis (CC) is one of the causes of undefined watery diarrhea, which is histologically accompanied by thickening of the subepithelial collagen layer. CC associated with lansoprazole normally occurs within several weeks after initial administration, but no case presenting after long-term administration of lansoprazole has yet been reported. A 77-year-old male with 6-year history of ...

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are antiulcer agents that have both gastric antisecretory and mucosal protective actions. The mechanisms of PPI-induced gastric mucosal protection are not known. The present study was designed to examine the mechanism for lansoprazole-induced gastric mucosal protection in rats. Rats were given 0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg/day lansoprazole alone or both lansoprazole (50 mg/...

AIM To compare the healing effects of vonoprazan and lansoprazole on gastric ulcers induced by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS Data were obtained from a total of 26 patients. Fourteen patients were randomized to the vonoprazan group and 12 were randomized to the lansoprazole group. Patients were administered either 20 mg vonoprazan or 30 mg lansoprazole per day after ESD. Endo...

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used in the treatment of acid-related diseases. However, several unmetmedical needs, suchas suppression of night-time acid secretion and rapid symptom relief, remain. In this study, we investigated the pharmacologicaleffects of 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine monofumarate (TAK-438), a novel<l...

The important role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in idiopathic duodenal ulcer disease is widely acknowledged. Treatment with amoxicillin and omeprazole has been highly successful in eradicating H. pylori in some pilot studies. We conducted a study in patients with active duodenal ulcer disease and H. pylori colonization of gastric mucosa using a combination of amoxicillin and lansoprazole....
