Description

Exlant is an oral capsule manufactured by Genix Pharma, formulated with Dexlansoprazole 30mg as its active ingredient, and supplied in a pack of 30 capsules. Dexlansoprazole belongs to a class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors, which work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This capsule is designed with a dual delayed-release mechanism, allowing the medicine to release its contents in two stages, which helps provide a more extended period of acid control throughout the day compared to some conventional acid-reducing formulations. Exlant is generally used for conditions involving excess stomach acid or acid reflux, and it is intended for use under medical guidance, particularly regarding the appropriate duration of treatment for the individual’s specific condition.

Ingredients

Each Exlant capsule contains Dexlansoprazole at a strength of 30mg as its active pharmaceutical ingredient, formulated within a dual delayed-release capsule shell. The capsule also includes standard pharmaceutical-grade excipients that support the delayed-release mechanism, structural integrity, and shelf stability of the product, without contributing to its therapeutic effect.

Dosage Form

Exlant is available as an oral dual delayed-release capsule, supplied in a pack of 30 capsules, with each capsule delivering a fixed dose of 30mg Dexlansoprazole.

Uses

Exlant is generally used to relieve symptoms of acid reflux, such as heartburn and regurgitation, and to support the healing of irritation to the esophagus that can occur with prolonged acid exposure. It may also be used more broadly to manage conditions involving excess stomach acid production, where reducing acid levels helps ease discomfort and supports the healing of the affected digestive lining. The appropriate duration of use, whether for short-term symptom relief or longer maintenance therapy, should be determined by the prescribing doctor based on the individual’s diagnosis.

How to Use

Exlant should be taken exactly as directed by a physician, generally once daily, with or without food. The capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed or chewed, as doing so can affect its delayed-release mechanism. For individuals who have difficulty swallowing capsules, a doctor may advise an alternative method of administration, but this should only be done following specific medical guidance rather than independently altering how the capsule is taken. The prescribed course should be completed as advised, and long-term use should be periodically reviewed with the prescribing doctor.

Side Effects

Exlant may cause side effects in some individuals, including headache, diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. Some patients may also experience mild dizziness or changes in bowel habits. With longer-term use of proton pump inhibitors generally, there can be a reduced absorption of certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12 or magnesium, over extended periods, which is why ongoing use is often periodically reviewed by a doctor. Any severe, persistent, or unusual symptoms should be reported to a healthcare provider rather than continuing treatment without review.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Exlant should only be used during pregnancy if a doctor determines that the potential benefit clearly outweighs any possible risk to the developing baby. Its use during breastfeeding should also be discussed with a healthcare provider beforehand, as there may be limited safety data specific to this context. Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or currently breastfeeding should inform their doctor before starting this medication.

Storage Instructions

Exlant capsules should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excess heat, and moisture. Keep the capsules in their original packaging until ready for use, and store them securely out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the capsules after the expiry date printed on the pack.

FAQs

How is Exlant different from standard acid-reducing medicines?
Its dual delayed-release design allows for a more extended period of acid control across the day compared to some conventional formulations.

Can Exlant capsules be opened and mixed with food?
This should only be done if specifically advised by a doctor, as altering the capsule can affect its intended release mechanism.

Is Exlant meant for short-term or long-term use?
It can be used for both, depending on the underlying condition, and the appropriate duration should be determined by the prescribing doctor.

Can Exlant affect nutrient absorption with long-term use?
Extended use of this class of medicine has been linked to reduced absorption of certain nutrients, so periodic medical review is generally recommended.
