Hypersensitivity.
Lansoprazole is a substituted benzimidazole, and is also known as PPI due to its property to block the final step of acid secretion by inhibiting H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system in gastric parietal cell. Both basal and stimulated acid are inhibited.
Hepatic impairment. Gastric malignancy should be ruled out. Pregnancy and lactation. Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding presence of lansoprazole in human milk, effects on breastfed infant, or on milk production; however, lansoprazole and its metabolites are present in rat milk; developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from treatment or from underlying maternal condition.

Risk Summary Available data from published observational studies overall do not indicate an association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with lansoprazole treatment; estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown Available data from published observational studies failed to demonstrate an association of adverse pregnancy-related outcomes and lansoprazole use; methodological limitations of these observational studies cannot definitely establish or exclude any drug-associated risk during pregnancy No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development occurred in studies performed in pregnant rats at oral lansoprazole doses up to 150 mg/kg/day (40 times the recommended human dose [30 mg/day] based on body surface area) administered during organogenesis and pregnant rabbits at oral lansoprazole doses up to 0 mg/kg/day (16 times the recommended human dose based on body surface area) administered during organogenesis.
Increased risk of hypomagnesaemia w/ diuretics and digoxin. May decrease plasma concentration of erlotinib, dasatinib and lapatinib. May decrease the bioavailability of itraconazole and ketoconazole. May increase plasma concentration of cilostazol and methotrexate. Reduced bioavailability w/ antacids and sucralfate. Potentially Fatal: May decrease serum levels and pharmacological effects of rilpivirine and atazanavir.
