• Prevention of gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis
• Treatment of stomach burning and acid regurgitation
• Treatment of infections caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, in combination with antibiotics
• Treatment or prevention of duodenal or gastric ulcers in patients requiring continuous treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (NSAID treatment is used for pain or inflammation)
• Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

• if you have a severe liver disease. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose.
• if you have decreased vitamin B12 reserves or risk factors for it and receive long-term treatment with lansoprazole. Like all medications that reduce the amount of acid, lansoprazole may reduce vitamin B12 absorption.

• if you have ever had a skin reaction after treatment with a similar medication to Lansoprazol Teva for reducing stomach acid.

• if you suffer from a skin rash, especially in sun-exposed areas, consult your doctor as soon as possible, as it may be necessary to interrupt treatment with Lansoprazol Teva. Remember to mention any other symptoms you may notice, such as joint pain.

Symptoms of low magnesium levels may include fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, disorientation, seizures, dizziness, or increased heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, inform your doctor immediately. Additionally, low magnesium levels may cause a decrease in potassium and calcium levels in the blood. Your doctor will decide to perform periodic blood tests to monitor magnesium levels.
