Indications
Lantid is used for the healing and long-term management of gastroesophageal reflux disease, and for the healing and maintenance treatment of duodenal ulcer. It relieves reflux-type symptoms such as heartburn and ulcer-type symptoms such as upper epigastric pain that are linked to acid-related dyspepsia. It is also used to heal benign gastric ulcer, and it is effective in patients with benign peptic lesions, including reflux oesophagitis, that have not responded to H2 receptor antagonists. When combined with appropriate antibiotics, Lantid is used to eradicate H. pylori from the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients with duodenal ulcer or gastritis.
