Agopton - Lansoprazole (lan-SOE-pra-zole) is used to treat certain conditions in which there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to treat duodenal and gastric ulcers and gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. Sometimes Agopton is used in combination with antibiotics to treat ulcers associated with infection caused by the H. pylori bacteria (germ).

Agopton is also used to treat Zollinger-Ellison disease, a condition in which the stomach produces too much acid.

Agopton works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Special precautions

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For Agopton, the following should be considered:

Pregnancy—Studies have not been done in humans. However, studies in animals have not shown that Agopton causes harm to the fetus.
