Dexlansoprazole, is a medication which reduces stomach acid.[3] It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease.[3] Effectiveness is similar to other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).[4] It is taken by mouth.[3]
Common side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea.[3] Serious side effects may include osteoporosis, low blood magnesium, Clostridium difficile infection, anaphylaxis, and pneumonia.[3] Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is of unclear safety.[5] It works by blocking H+/K+-ATPase in the parietal cells of the stomach.[3]
Dexlansoprazole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2009.[3] In Canada in 2016, it was the most expensive PPI available.[4] In 2020, it was the 263rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.[6][7]
