Dexlansoprazole

Dexlansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication that is used to treat conditions such as acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stomach ulcers. It works by reducing the production of acid in the stomach, which helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. Dexlansoprazole is typically taken orally in the form of delayed-release capsules.
