Dexlansoprazole, is a medication which reduces stomach acid. [3] It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. [3] Effectiveness is similar to other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). [4] It is taken by mouth. [3]

Contents

Common side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. [3] Serious side effects may include osteoporosis, low blood magnesium, Clostridioides difficile infection, anaphylaxis, and pneumonia. [3] Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is of unclear safety. [5] It works by blocking H+/K+-ATPase in the parietal cells of the stomach. [3]

Dexlansoprazole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2009. [3] In Canada in 2016, it was the most expensive Proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) available. [4] In 2022, it was the 186th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 2 million prescriptions. [6] [7]

Medical use

Dexlansoprazole is used to heal and maintain healing of erosive esophagitis and to treat heartburn associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). [2] It lasts longer than lansoprazole, to which it is chemically related, and needs to be taken less often. [8] There is no good evidence that it works better than other PPIs. [4]

Adverse effects

The most significant adverse reactions (≥2%) reported in clinical trials were diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, vomiting, and flatulence. [2]

Mechanism of action

Like lansoprazole, dexlansoprazole permanently binds to the proton pump and blocks it, preventing the formation of gastric acid. [8]

Chemistry

Dexlansoprazole is the (R)-(+)-enantiomer of lansoprazole, which is a racemic mixture of its (R)-(+) and (S)-(−)-enantiomers. [8] The Takeda drug has a dual release pharmaceutical formulation, with two types of granules of dexlansoprazole, each with a coating that dissolves at a different pH level. [8]

Pharmacokinetics

Dexlansoprazole ((R)-(+)-lansoprazole) has the same binding affinity to the proton pump as the (S)-enantiomer, but is associated with a three- to five-fold greater area under the plasma drug concentration time curve (AUC) compared with (S)-lansoprazole. [8] With its dual release pharmaceutical formulation, the first quick release produces a plasma peak concentration about one hour after application, with a second delayed release producing another peak about four hours later. [9] [10]

History

Dexlansoprazole was approved in the United States in 2009, in Canada in 2010, and in Mexico in 2011. [8]

Society and culture

Since Kapidex was approved in 2009, there have been reports of dispensing errors because of confusion with the drugs Casodex (bicalutamide) and Kadian (morphine), which have very different uses from Kapidex and from each other. In 2010, the FDA approved a name change for Kapidex to avoid confusion with the two other medications and Takeda began marketing it under the new name Dexilant. [11]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Proton-pump inhibitor</span> Class of drugs for reducing stomach acid

Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a class of medications that cause a profound and prolonged reduction of stomach acid production. They do so by irreversibly inhibiting the stomach's H+/K+ ATPase proton pump. The body eventually synthesizes new proton pumps to replace the irreversibly inhibited ones, a process driven by normal cellular turnover, which gradually restores acid production.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gastroesophageal reflux disease</span> Flow of stomach contents into the esophagus

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic upper gastrointestinal disease in which stomach content persistently and regularly flows up into the esophagus, resulting in symptoms and/or complications.

In the long term, and when not treated, complications such as esophagitis, esophageal stricture, and Barrett's esophagus may arise.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) block the gastric hydrogen potassium ATPase (H+/K+ ATPase) and inhibit gastric acid secretion. These drugs have emerged as the treatment of choice for acid-related diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. PPIs also can bind to other types of proton pumps such as those that occur in cancer cells and are finding applications in the reduction of cancer cell acid efflux and reduction of chemotherapy drug resistance.
