What is Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole)?

Dexilant (generic name: Dexlansoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases the amount of acid in the stomach. This is a delayed-release capsule available via prescription only.

Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) is used for the treatment and helps maintain the healing of all grades of erosive esophagitis. Physicians also prescribe Dexilant for heartburn which is caused by symptomatic non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The use of Dexilant for ulcers has not been fully established. However, this medication may help heal the damage caused by stomach acid.

Your physician may prescribe this oral medication for other conditions besides the approved Dexilant indications. Please note that Dexilant medication should not be used for other purposes without medical supervision.
