Are you Looking to Buy Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) from Pharmapassport.

Description

Indications 

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole) is a delayed-release oral medication indicated to treat all grades of erosive esophagitis or EE. It also relieves heartburn associated with symptomatic non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. It may also reduce other symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing and persistent cough. 

This is available in Dexilant 60 mg and 30 mg delayed-release capsules. 

This substituted benzimidazole works by suppressing gastric acid secretion through the specific inhibition of the hydrogen potassium – ATPase at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. It blocks the final step of acid production, especially in the stomach, which helps heal acid reflux & damage, prevents ulcers, and prevents cancer of the esophagus. 

How to Use Dexilant 

Before starting to take Dexilant, it is necessary to read the information leaflet or medication guide given by a healthcare professional. You must not take any medication unless you have understood all the information regarding it. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further medical advice or additional details. 

This tablet is only meant to be taken by mouth. You may administer your dose with or without a meal. Swallow the tablet entirely and drink a glass of water. Avoid splitting, crushing, or chewing these delayed-release capsules, as doing so can release the drug all at once. 

To avoid skipping medications, make a dosage regimen. This is usually prescribed once daily. If you have been prescribed sucralfate, take this drug at least 30 minutes prior to sucralfate. Further, do not increase or decrease your Dexilant dosage or alter your length of treatment because it is based on your response to medication and overall medical condition.
