How lan capsule works

LAN 15 Capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn. It does this by inhibiting the action of proton pumps in the stomach lining, which are responsible for acid production. By lowering acid levels, LAN 15 Capsule helps promote the healing of ulcers, reduces irritation of the stomach and esophagus, and provides relief from acid-related discomfort.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can make you anemic, as a result of which you may feel more tired, weak, or pale.

Yes, LAN 15 Capsule may cause diarrhea as a side effect in some people.

These symptoms are most likely because of the overgrowth of harmful bacteria called C. difficile and the diarrhea is known as Clostridium difficile–associated diarrhea (CDAD). Use of LAN 15 Capsule lowers the natural stomach acid which normally helps to kill bacteria and this can cause uncontrollable diarrhea associated with stomach cramps and fever.
