Lansoprazole USP is a medication in the proton pump inhibitor class commonly used for the treatment of gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and other conditions related to excess stomach acid. It works by reducing the production of acid in the stomach, which helps to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

In compounding, Lansoprazole USP can be used to create customized formulations according to a patient's individual needs and preferences. This may include creating a different dosage strength, preparing the medication in a different form (e.g. liquid for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills), or combining it with other ingredients to address multiple medical issues at once.
