15. Lan Capsules (Generic Lansoprazole Capsules) Warnings When treating a gastric ulcer with Lansoprazole the possibility of malignant gastric tumour must be excluded because Lansoprazole can mask the symptoms and delay the diagnosis. Lansoprazole must be used with caution in patients with moderate and severe hepatic dysfunction. In patients suffering from gastro-duodenal ulcers, the possibility of H. pylori infection as an etiological factor must be considered. Due to the fact that limited safety data for patients on maintenance treatment for periods longer than 1 year is available, regular review of the treatment and a thorough risk/benefit assessment must be regularly be performed in these patients. Rare cases of colitis have been reported in patients taking Lansoprazole. Therefore, in the case of severe and/or persistent diarrhoea, discontinuation of therapy should be considered.

16. Lan Capsules (Generic Lansoprazole Capsules) Warnings The treatment for the prevention of peptic ulceration of patients in need of continuous NSAID treatment should be restricted to high risk patients. Severe hypomagnesaemia has been observed in patients treated with PPIs like Lansoprazole capsules for at least three months, and in most cases for a year. Serious manifestations of hypomagnesaemia such as fatigue, tetany, delirium, convulsions, dizziness and ventricular arrhythmia can occur but they may begin insidiously and be overlooked. For patients expected to be on prolonged treatment or who take PPIs with digoxin or drugs that may cause hypomagnesaemia (e.g., diuretics), doctors should consider measuring magnesium levels before starting PPI treatment and periodically during treatment.
