LANSOFIX DX-30 is a medicine used for treating excess acid reflux in the stomach and is a proton pump inhibitor. Its main function is to decrease the amount of acid the stomach produces. Hence it is a drug used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux diseases which is commonly known as heart burn. It also helps in relieving complications such as difficulty in swallowing, persistent cough, acid damage to the esophagus and prevents ulcer formation. LANSOFIX DX-30 works in actually binding with the proton pump and hence blocking it in the way so that gastric acid formation lessens. LANSOFIX DX-30 can be consumed in capsule or liquid format. The possible side effects of this drug include- diarrhea, unusual heart beat which may be slower or faster than normal, persistent muscle spasm, rash on skin specially in areas like the nose or cheeks and increased joint pain. Severe stomach pain, dizziness, jittery feeling, sneezing and similar other effects may also be seen.
