Will lansoprazole 30mg be more affective then aciphex 20mg twice a day for barrets esophagus the lansoprazole will be taken once a day.

Maybe not: The half life (time for 1/2 of the drug to leave your system) is similar for both drugs. Some people find one PPI drug from the group more effective than others based likely on differences in their personal metabolism. Avoiding caffeine/nicotine & not laying down after meals can also help with symptoms.
