DEXLANSOPRAZOLE - Kapidex by Takeda 2S Now Dexilant<br />

INDICATIONS: Dexlansoprazole is indicated for the healing of all grades of erosive esophagitis, the<br />

maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis, and the treatment of heartburn associated with nonerosive<br />

gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).<br />

The Food and <strong>Drug</strong> Administration (FDA)-approved indications for the oral proton pump inhibitors are<br />

summarized in Table 1.<br />

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Dexlansoprazole is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole. It is formulated as<br />

a dual delayed-release formulation for oral administration, with each capsule containing a mixture of<br />

enteric-coated granules with different pH-dependent dissolution profiles that are designed to release drug<br />

at different locations in the GI tract.<br />

The proton pump inhibitors suppress gastric acid secretion at the final step of acid production by specific<br />

inhibition of the (H+,K+)-ATPase in the gastric parietal cell.<br />

The effects of dexlansoprazole 60 mg and lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 5 days on 24-hour<br />

intragastric pH have been assessed in healthy volunteers enrolled in a crossover study. On day 5, mean<br />

intragastric pH was 4.55 after dexlansoprazole and 4.13 after lansoprazole. The percentage of time with<br />

intragastric pH greater than 4 was 71% (17 hours) with dexlansoprazole and 60% (14 hours) with<br />
