Zoton, known generically as lansoprazole, is a medication that falls under the category of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is primarily used to treat conditions caused by excessive stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining, Zoton effectively reduces the production of stomach acid. This action helps to alleviate symptoms associated with acid-related conditions, including heartburn, acid reflux, and discomfort in the stomach. Zoton is available in various forms, including capsules and orally disintegrating tablets, and is typically taken once daily before meals. As with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider for any concerns or side effects.
