Lanzol 30mg Capsule (Lansoprazole): Effective Relief from Acid-Related Conditions

Lanzol 30mg Capsules contain Lansoprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This makes it a valuable medication for treating various conditions related to excessive stomach acid, providing relief from symptoms and promoting healing of damaged tissues.
