  • Treatment of infections caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, in combination with antibiotics
  • Treatment or prevention of duodenal or gastric ulcers in patients who require continuous treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (NSAID treatment is used for pain or inflammation)
    • Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

It is possible that your doctor has prescribed Lansoprazole Almus for another indication or at a different dose than indicated in this leaflet. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the taking of the medicine.

2. What you need to know before you take Lansoprazole Almus

Do not take Lansoprazole Almus:

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to lansoprazole or any of the other ingredients of Lansoprazole Almus.
  • If you are taking another medicine whose active substance is atazanavir (used in the treatment of HIV).

Warnings and precautions

Tell your doctor if you have a severe liver disease. It is possible that the doctor may need to adjust the dose.

Your doctor may have performed or may perform a complementary test called endoscopy to diagnose your disease and/or rule out cancer.

If you experience diarrhoea during treatment with Lansoprazole Almus, contact your doctor immediately, as Lansoprazole Almus has been associated with a slight increase in infectious diarrhoea.

When taking Lansoprazol, kidney inflammation may occur. The signs and symptoms may include decreased urine volume or the presence of blood in the urine and/or hypersensitivity reactions such as fever, skin rash, and joint stiffness. You should report these signs to your doctor.

If your doctor has prescribed Lansoprazol Almus in addition to other medicines intended for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection (antibiotics) or together with anti-inflammatory drugs to treat pain or rheumatism, also read carefully the package leaflets of these medicines.

If you are taking proton pump inhibitors like Lansoprazole Almus, especially for a period of more than one year, you may have a slightly increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis).

If you have been taking Lansoprazol Almus for a long time (more than 1 year), your doctor will probably perform regular checks. During your visits to the doctor, you should report any new or abnormal symptoms and circumstances.

Consult your doctor before starting to take Lansoprazole Almus:

  • if you have ever had a skin reaction after treatment with a medicine similar to Lansoprazole Almus to reduce stomach acid.

If you suffer from a skin rash, especially in areas of the skin exposed to the sun, consult your doctor as soon as possible, as it may be necessary to interrupt treatment with Lansoprazole Almus. Remember to mention any other symptoms you may notice, such as joint pain.

  • if you are scheduled to have a specific blood test (Chromogranin A).

Using Lansoprazole Almus with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, even those obtained without a prescription.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are using medicines that contain any of the following active substances, as Lansoprazole Almus may affect their mode of action:

  • ketoconazole, itraconazole, rifampicin (used to treat infections)
  • digoxin (used to treat heart problems)
  • theophylline (used to treat asthma)
  • tacrolimus (used to prevent transplant rejection)
  • fluvoxamine (used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders)
  • antacids (used to treat heartburn or acid regurgitation)

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Before taking any medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

The use of Lansoprazole Almus is not recommended during pregnancy, as there is not enough experience with the use of lansoprazole during pregnancy.

There is not enough experience with the use of lansoprazole during breastfeeding. Based on the results of animal studies, it is believed that lansoprazole passes into breast milk.

When deciding whether to continue or stop breastfeeding or treatment with Lansoprazole Almus, your doctor must consider the benefits of breastfeeding for your baby and the benefits of treatment with Lansoprazole Almus for you.
