Tablet Lansoprazole Facts in Q&A

Is it safe to drink alcohol whilst on Lansoprazole tablets? I dont mean excessive, go out n get plastered drinking. Just a bottle of wine (shared between 2) or a few pints of cider.

brandi replied: "I would say do not drink any alcohol while taking a medicine of that sort. Consuming alcohol while taking any kind of anxiety or pain medicine will greatly increase the intensity of the alcohol, even a few drinks could be harmful because of how much they end up being intensified."

blue dolphin replied: "Try to avoid foods that may upset your stomach such as, alcohol, citrus fruits/juices, drinks containing caffeine, tomatoes or spicy food. "

Karizma replied: "umm most likely not...it might intensify the effects"

snorky998 replied: "Yes it's fine. I've been on Lanzoprazole and Omeprazole for years, and never, ever had any problems with the occasional glass of wine. Both are proton pump inhibitors - they just limit the amount of acid your stomach produces. They do not effect alcohol metabolism, in other words, will not make you feel more, or less, drunk or ill . All drugs come with a health warning - even paracetamol and ulcer cream. They have to cover their butt's...but if you don't feel comfortable with it, don't do it! Whatever happens..it wont kill you :) Cheers (hic)"

notaxpert replied: "You should be able to drink wine while on this medication. Call you pharmacist, they can provide you with professional advise on the drug."

pearldaisy replied: "Have pasted this bit from the link below: Important safety information: * Lansoprazole may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Lansoprazole with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it."

Aberdeen Tyke replied: "Cider - no. It really triggers my indigestion off and i'm on lanzoprazole, because it contains citric acid. Oddly enough i'm ok on the spirits. Try beer if you're on the piss."

is there any efficacy difference between lansoprazole caps and the restricted ortho-dispersible tablet? Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid. as a result of NHS drug restrictions my version of this drug has been changed. I am finding an increase in my gastric symptoms since this change. Why?

sweynseye replied: "I have recently been put on Lansoprazole because of a recommendation from my GP.Iwas previously on Pantoprazole and i have not noticed much difference except the speed of relief i get.Once it kicks in it`s ok."

Lansoprazole and Metoclopramide tablets have been prescribed by my doctor. How safe are they? These tablets have just been prescribed me by my doctor after a visit to the dietician. I have a sliding hiatus hernia. This causes pains and problems when eating and affects my eating habits to enable me to cope with it. I have only just recently been diagnosed, even though I have these problems the last 20 years or so(and told my doctor about them). I am already on a lot of other medication for asthma, arthritis, migraines, skin problems etc, so I did not really want to take these extra pills. I am resisting taking them, but I am now sorely tempted because I do need them. I wish the dietician hadn't told my doctor I needed something to help me have more normal eating habits, because I was coping before, even though I was having severe problems some of the time. It worries me the amount of medicines I am on, but I need them. Any advice on the contraindications( I have read the leaflets) or your personal experiences of these tablets would be gratefully received.

babysham replied: "I only know I took Lansoprazole for about 6 months a few years ago, I found it absolutely fine. No problems at all."

Pat R replied: "I dont know anything about them,but if you put them one at a time in discover at the top of the page,you will see any previous answers that have been on here. I use discover all the time it takes you back to older questions and you get all the answers to them as well,sometimes when you post nobody is online who could help you."

katewearsconran replied: "Both these tablets have been around for a long time, and you've obviously read the leaflets. Have a word with your dietitian about the possibility of taking charcoal tablets for acid pain. These are natural tablets that work by absorbing the excess acid. I took them and they really work."

Dr Frank replied: "Lasoprazole is a very safe PP I= proton pump inhibitor, which lowers acid levels. if you are perhaps already on an NSAID = anti-inflammatory, for your arthritis, it may in fact decrease your risks of gastro-intestinal bleeding. Metoclopramide is a motility drug, which does have a few potential side effect issues. The biggest risk is dystonic reactions = movement disorders. These are more common n women. They are generally an all or nothing phenomena, if you get them they tend to occur immediately, precluding the use of the drug."

lorraine x replied: "im taking lansoprazole for the last 3 yrs for bad pain every time i eat and only recently been diagnosed with helibactor pylori im still on lansoprazole and 2 other antibiotics but the lansoprazole is brilliant no pain when i eat so take them wish you well x"

Dolly replied: "I have an hiatus hernia, asthma, epilepsy and arthritis and haven't had any problems with Lansaprozole. Despite checking through the leaflet for contradictions you really need to bring these up with your doctor."

NEALIE replied: "Ive been taking Lansoprazole 30mg now for 2 years for a ulcer i had that was caused by sever acid i have been ok with it, but why has the doctor given it to you if you are eating a well balanced diet you should not need it as it is for the treatment of sever acid"

Can I take 30mg Lansoprazole caspules to Thailand? Hi I am taking 30mg Lansoprazole caspules for my stomach acid. I am go to Thailand for 2 weeks in April. Does anyone know if I can take these tablets with me please. Thank you for your help.

Khun Bob replied: "Read paragraph 3 of the below link. Should give you all the information you need to know."

seafrontanne replied: "I take the same medication as you and I take Lansoprazole with me every time I visit Thailand.If you run out of the medication you can buy medical drugs over the counter ,which I usually get at Boots chemist in Pattaya."

Tom yum goong replied: "No problem....you can buy the generic equivalent over the counter in Thailand....take them every day...."

Chaco replied: "yes you can, as long as you have the doctor's prescription and all that docs."

Information wanted on Lansoprazole 30mg tablets? Hello everyone, I have been prescirbed Lansoprazole 30mg tablets from my doctor which is for treating my chronic indigestion which I was diganosed with today. However I have never taken any serious medication and I am a little daunted about taking it. My doctor said that they can cause side effects of excess wind and runny tummy which I am not too keen on, so I am very hesitant to take them. If you have taken them or have any information on them I would be grateful to hear it as I have heard from friends that they can become addictive, is this correct or have I been led astray? Thank in advance. Insomnia!!! Oh no I have a five month old baby I dont want to be awake all the time, as insomnia can make you grogy and moody.

iKiddo replied: "I can tell you right now that the side effects HAVE to be told for reasons so that you. Chances of them happening are small or they would not be put on the market. I'm sure you will be fine and just trust your doctor."

momomai1 replied: "to many words but i can give you the website"

Jenny replied: "go to webmd.com and put it in.They will give you side effects.etc..anything you want to know!"

alan u replied: "Lasoprazole is a P.P.I or proton pump inhibitor, it slows down the production of acid to the stomach therefore reducing any gastric irritation. They are not addictive and should help with your chronic indegestion. Hope this helps."

thebeermatman replied: "YOU ARE BEEN LED ASTRAY... LANSOPRAZOLE ARE A CHEAPER FORM OF NEXIUM.. WHICH ARE GIVEN TO PATIENTS WITH STOMACH PROBLEMS, I.E. ULCERS AND GASTRIC STOMACHS.. THEY ARE QUITE SAFE TO USE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING IS ALL POPPYCOCK!!"

J V replied: "lansoprazole is the chemical name for the over the counter drug prevacid. No this drug is not addictive, it is a proton pump inhibitor, whose sole action is to reduce amount of stomach acid produced. Side effects are usually mild and include dry mouth insomnia and a few other mild things...you can check out the prevacid website or talk to your doctor. I would not worry about addiction with this med though, there are only a handful of medications that create true dependency"

dinosaur replied: "Stop at a library and look at the latest pill book /dictionary . Or you can go to and look at their interpretation from on line faster. Also your pharmacist should have printed you out information about this new med for you . Webmd is a very easy to use site ,use it well ."

CrossroadsMotel replied: "I know exactly what you mean. Particularly when family members ask what I think about certain drugs the doctor has prescribed and I'm asked to look up futher info on websites I a) shudder at the sheer detail and volume of information on possible side effects and b) feel a very heavy burden of responsibility when expected to give a view. However, if it helps, I am currently taking the same medication. Have been taking it for the last 2 months with no problems. So has my mum. In fact, I was on it quite a few years ago, which means this drug has been around some time. Bear in mind that drug companies must now give a lot of detail on every possible known side effect, however small. Yes, there may be risks but sometimes we have little choice. In the case of you and I we are somewhat between a rock and a hard place, because this drug is designed to protect the stomach from excess acid. If we don't take the very small risks involved in taking the medication, we may be facing bigger problems arising from damage to the stomach wall lining. See what I mean? If you are still not sure, perhaps a further chat with your doctor will help clarify things, or maybe talk to a pharmacist. I hope this helps. PS. addiction a complete non-issue in my experience."

Susan replied: "Very effective for excess stomach acid in gastritis! But I wouldn't take them as long as they recommend, they can work within a couple of days and you may not need them after that."

Cuttiepie replied: "don't forget to take them 1 hour before food or they won't work"

Lotte B replied: "yeah what is the question dude???????? i had those when they thought i had a bleeding stomach ulcer or gastritus.. i would only take them if youve been told.. as they are very strong!!!!!!!!"

Jonsul replied: "lansoprazole or zoton, for lining your stomach , do take them as long as they recommend them & don't stop taking them until you are told to stop by your doctor"

LANSOPRAZOLE side effects severe stiff neck? i was put on LANSOPRAZOLE by my GP a week ago for 14 days, 3 days into taking it i started with a severe stiff neck that is incredibly painful, i'm having to take codeine tablets regularly just to take the edge off the pain, has anyone else taking LANSOPRAZOLE had this? i'm considering stopping taking them as the neck pain is so bad

shrndcksn replied: "I have been on this medication for the last 4 years,and I have to say I have not noticed a stiff neck.If your doctor has prescribed you this medication I advise you to take it,maybe you could talk to your gp about your concerns,he will put your mind at rest."

NSC replied: "see link below, it lists the side affects, but as the Doc thought you needed them, it's best to go back to the GP & see what he/she says. you can also try ringing the 24 hour NHS helpline for advice sooner. lots of drugs have side affects, sometimes the Docs & the patient need to way up the benefits vs the side affects. ring the help line, second link below."

starlight replied: "Have you read the side effect leaflet, If I was you I would get back to the Doc . It might not be the medication, could be something else. Go soon."

Is three months a long time to be taking painkillers? My GP is referring me for physiotherapy in the hope of curing my upper back pain. He has agreed that I can continue taking Paracetamol and Ibuprofen tablets until I get an appointment. I have cut the Ibuprofen from three a day down to two and the feeling of nausea persists even though I am also taking Lansoprazole for this. Is it safe for me to continue taking these or should I stop being a wimp and put up with the pain?

george replied: "i need a knee replacement, been taking painkillers for 2years now"

Cherrypicker replied: "I manage a charity for older people. Lots of my clients have arthritis and similar pain related conditions. Most of them take paracetamol as a matter of course and often for years on end. I think as long as you don't exceed the daily dose, you should be alright."

salad_85 replied: "yes three months is too long....ur normally advised to only take them for 3 days, it says on the packet.....basically it will be damaging ur liver...doctors only advise patients to take them for so long when the pain is severe...but I think he or she SHOULD have prescribed you codeine which is a stronger and non paracetamol containing painkiller. Yes three months is too long you are risking serious liver damage, I cant belive your doctor has allowed you to do this. Often the damage does not show for years after. And aspirain is different to paracetmol... it thins the blood reduces the risk of blood clots, a lot of old people including my gran take one a day....at such low levels this isnt dangerous, but at higher levels (even 3 or 4 a day) are dangerous and I am assuming that you are taking more than one a day."

Angel replied: "This is a difficult question for members on YA. The first thing to realise is that we do not know your individual medical history and condition. Anyone who advises you on YA can only advise you to follow your GP's advice. Anything else would be unethical. All non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs should be taken with food, a proper meal. They all may cause irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract if taken alone."

Anthony M replied: "Hi, I can understand you taking it steady with the Paracetamol, but the ibuprofen are an anti-inflammatory, over -the-counter medicine to help reduce inflammation, If your Dr has not asked you to cut back on ibuprofen? then continue taking three a day. Good luck, hope you are better soon."

gillianprowe replied: "Upper back pain is caused by????? As you are being sent to Physiotherapy I assume they have done all the tests for Arthritis and Disc Bulges so are left with muscle problem? Therefore, physio will help and if you cannot manage the pain from the muscles by using how showers, hot packs, anti-inflammatory creams, massage, then keep taking the pills. Best of Luck"

Kim k replied: "You're probably OK. the kidney and liver damage that people refer to when speaking of taking analgesics long term takes massive amounts or taking over very long period of time. In this sense, three months is nothing. Do what your doctor tells you to do. Look at it this way, if you don't trust your physician you should be seeing a different one. It never hurts to do some independent research but I have read some real crackpot responses on this board. It frightens me to think that someone might listen to some of the responses instead of their physician. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions. If you have concerns he can explain himself. I make notes to myself so I won't forget to ask any questions I have when I go in good luck."

kalosum replied: "I am by far no expert; however, based on my own experience with neck/arm pain, I suggest you seek a referral to an orthopedic doctor and have an MRI. I thought I was being a "wimp" and just pulled a muscle and was in a lot of pain. I had and MRI and a nerve conduction test and to my surprise, I found out I had two bulging discs and two pinched nerves. I was referred to a pain management doctor who is familiar with my type of pain and can answer and prescribe the medicine needed. My GP admitted he did not know why I was having the pain I described, as he is not specialized in one type of medicine,and it was suggested to seek a specialist (any good GP should). You don't have to live in pain and shouldn't (you're not a wimp!). Good luck - hope this helped some."

randyandy_uk replied: "Three months is not a long time as many people take painkillers for years, I have taken strong painkillers for over twenty years. But does your doctor know that you are feeling nauseous, you may be having an adverse reaction to what you are taking or the pain maybe making you feel sick. Your doctor should investigate these symptoms and at minimum do some blood tests. It may be better for you to take a prescription drug as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol can be dangerous long term if it they are affecting the kidneys or liver. Go and see your doctor and tell him how you feel as the reaction you are having sounds like intolerance to one or both of these drugs. Being in pain will not help your back and may aggravate what is causing the problem. I hope this helps Andy"

blondruby replied: "i broke my back in a car crash 20 years ago and now i take that many pain killers {a lot stronger than yours} i rattle lol they wont harm you in the short term eg for a couple of months but if you find you have to take them long term tell you doc you want stomach protectors i take omeprazole they stop tablets damaging your stomach lining which causes stomach ulcers my stomach is damaged as i only found out about the stomach protectors about 12 years after i started takin pain killers i was never offered them from my doc hope this has helped a bit but remember if ur in a lot of pain take your tablets if they help it dosn,t mean ur a wimp hope the physio helps"

does anyone suffer from stomach acid? I have been having chest pain and i went to see the doctor and he told me it sounds like i have acid and he put me on tablets but the pain is still there its only been 3 day ive been taking the tablets for but do they take a while to work the tablets are lansoprazole, the pain is all over just above my stomach and in the top part of my chest and its some times a sharp pain are a dull ache, does anyone suffer from the same thing if so how can i ease the pain. thank you.

Pooh Bear replied: "Yes, have done all my life. I use Gaviscon - in any form. Chemists own brand pink chalky liquid. Always have a packet of peppermint chalk peptic tablets in my bag and take three when I feel the burn and pain come on. Milk helps it too. Keep those kind of things to hand and you will be fine. Stay away from fatty foods, pastry, chocolate (Oh no!!) bread that isnt wholemeal and some cheeses. Hope that helps."

Duffyyyy replied: "everyone has stomach acid but you have acid going up your oesophagas, the tube your food goes down. this is sometimes reffered to as indigestion or heartburn. There are lots of medicines such as gaviscon and rennies which will help so try some of them. Also try and change your diet avoiding fatty and/or acidic foods. Even fruit has acid in them so be careful."

♪ replied: "yes, my doctor said it was either gallstones or stomach acid and had me on antacids. i think it helped. i mostly remember that i went to the restroom a lot."

vickie t replied: "Antacids can make the problem worse, regular use mearly encourages the stomach to produce more acid to counteract it, and the cycle continues. Drugs can also irritate the problem. I suffered with this for several years and eventually through desparation tried alternative ideas and saw a homeopath who did food testing. She advised me to avoid wheat and a couple of other things and within 24 hrs i felt 100% well for the first time in years. That was 4-5 yrs ago, i can eat all foods in moderation and never get this problem."

lansoprazole side effects? Can it cause side effects in the way that someone behaves? For example; My daughter has been taken these tablets and she has developed the need to be alone and is going out a lot more than usual ever since she started her course on these tablets. However she was on other tablets before she started to take these (also which treats rheumatoid arthritis tablets) and even then she has been showing this behaviour. She is very suspicious and does not want people to be around her when she goes out and family members have confronted her about this and she doesn't see how her behaviour has changed. Is this a possible side effect?

gangadharan nair replied: "Lansoprazole like other PPIs is well-tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, rash and headaches. Dizziness, nervousness, abnormal heartbeat, muscle pain, weakness, leg cramps and water retention rarely occur. Consult a Psychiatrist."

izzy replied: "It isn't clear whether she is still taking other medications. There will be side effects and interactions (with other meds) on the leaflet in the pack. It does seem a side effect that could be due to lansoprazole, although you say she was showing similar signs of behaviour before. You do need to discuss this with your/her doctor. Among side effects... Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't real), confusion. From the same site... As well as their useful effects all medicines can cause unwanted side effects. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist if any of them continues or become troublesome."
