Product Details:

Xanilo 30 mg capsules contain dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This medication is designed to relieve heartburn and promote healing of esophageal damage caused by acid reflux. Xanilo is commonly prescribed for short-term and long-term management of conditions like GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and erosive esophagitis.

Purposes:

• Heartburn Relief: Xanilo is used for the short-term treatment of heartburn associated with non-erosive GERD.
• Erosive Esophagitis Healing: It aids in the short-term healing of all grades of erosive esophagitis, usually within 8 weeks of treatment.
• Long-Term Maintenance: Xanilo is also prescribed for maintaining the healing of erosive esophagitis and providing relief from heartburn for up to 6 months.

How To Use:

• Take Xanilo 30 mg capsules with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
• Swallow the capsule whole; do not chew or crush it.
• If you have trouble swallowing, you may open the capsule and sprinkle the contents on a tablespoon of applesauce. Swallow the mixture immediately without chewing.
• Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration for optimal results.

Expert Advice:

• Continue following a balanced diet and avoiding foods that trigger acid reflux.
• Store Xanilo at room temperature, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
