• Reduction of acid production in acid-related upper gastrointestinal conditions when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Usage & Safety

For Adult

• For symptomatic non-erosive GERD: 30 mg once daily for up to 4 weeks, as directed by a healthcare professional.
• For maintenance of healed erosive esophagitis and relief of heartburn: 30 mg once daily, generally for up to 6 months when prescribed.
• Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush or chew the capsule contents.
• It may generally be taken with or without food. If swallowing is difficult, consult a healthcare professional before opening the capsule.

For Children

• Use in children 12 years and older may be considered for approved GERD-related indications under medical supervision.
• Use in children younger than 12 years is not routinely recommended unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric healthcare professional.
• No weight-based dosing should be used without medical advice.

Side Effects

• Common effects may include headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, and upper respiratory tract symptoms.
• Less common effects may include constipation, dizziness, dry mouth, rash, or changes in liver-related laboratory tests.
• Seek urgent medical attention for severe allergic reactions, blistering or peeling skin, persistent watery diarrhea, seizures, severe weakness, irregular heartbeat, or muscle spasms.
• Prolonged treatment may be associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, low magnesium, bone fractures, or fundic gland polyps.

Contraindications

• Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to dexlansoprazole or any capsule ingredient.
• Do not use with rilpivirine-containing medicines.
• Use is generally avoided or requires specialist adjustment in severe liver impairment.
• Seek medical evaluation for persistent or unexplained symptoms, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, or unintended weight loss.
• Long-term or high-dose use should be reviewed periodically because of possible nutrient deficiencies, low magnesium, infections, and bone-fracture risk.

Precautions & Warnings

• Do not combine with rilpivirine-containing products.
• Use caution with medicines whose absorption depends on stomach acidity, including certain antifungals, erlotinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, and iron salts.
• Tell the healthcare professional if taking warfarin, digoxin, high-dose methotrexate, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, or HIV medicines.
• CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers, such as voriconazole, rifampicin, or St. John’s wort, may alter dexlansoprazole exposure.
• Long-term use with digoxin or diuretics may increase the importance of monitoring magnesium levels.

Pregnancy

• Use during pregnancy only when clearly needed and recommended by a healthcare professional.
• Discuss risks and benefits before use, particularly during prolonged treatment.
• Consult a healthcare professional before breastfeeding because it is not fully established how clinically significant dexlansoprazole exposure through breast milk may be.
