The capsule contents and orally disintegrating tablets can both be given through a feeding tube
Administering the granules in orange juice also prevents clumping in the gastrostomy tube and avoids possible blockage
The tube should be flushed again with at least 15 mL of purified water to ensure that the drug has been delivered and the tube is clear
Uses of Lansoprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets: It is used to treat or prevent GI (gastrointestinal) ulcers caused by infection
These results indicate similar bioavailabilities between the two regimens and demonstrate that lansoprazole capsules may be administered by mixing the capsule contents with apple juice for administration through a nasogastric tube
Flush with additional apple juice to clear the The delayed-release capsule contents may also be given through a nasogastric (NG) feeding tube
The LODT microgranules, which are approximately one-third the size of the lansoprazole capsule microgranules, are good candidates for this route of administration, since the smaller size may allow for easier dispersion in water and for liquid administra- Lansoprazole
The tablets may be dispersed in a Omeprazole gastro-resistant tablets (e
Sprinkle intact granules into 40 mL of apple juice
The tube should be flushed again with at least 15 mL of purified water to ensure that the drug has been delivered and the tube is clear
b After manually mixing for one minute using the tip of the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy-jejunostomy (PEG-J) tube, c the resulting dispersion was administered through the same PEG-J tube
The bioavailability of Dexilant ® (dexlansoprazole) after dexlansoprazole capsule granules were mixed with water and administered via 16 French nasogastric tube or orally via syringe was compared to administration of the intact
Lansoprazole capsules could be administered by mixing the capsule contents with apple juice for nasogastric administration [24]
, water, apple juice, or milk), and rotate gently until the drug product is completely dispersed
Use a catheter-tip syringe to draw up the apple juice and granule mixture
1 Place 40 mL of apple juice into a clean container
Just a preface: I'm a pharmacist not a patient asking for medical advice
Lansoprazole: First Choice: Capsules first line
The bioavailability of lansoprazole administered through the NG tube relative to that of the intact capsule as the reference was also assessed by using the two one-sided tests procedure13 via 90% confidence intervals (CIs)
