A member asked:

Is more than 60 mg of lansoprazole a day suggested?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More than 60 mg : Not usually but in some conditions it is needed; truly the dose that suppresses acid without significant side effects is the appropriate dose - while it is rare it is sometimes needed and I have prescribed it - in general the lowest dose of a medication is always the best if it is effective.
