Pharmacology of Dexend Capsule
Dexlansoprazole sustained-release capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which inhibits gastric acid secretion by specifically inhibiting (H + / K +) ATPase in gastric parietal cells. By acting exclusively on the proton pump, dexlansoprazole prevents the last step of acid production. It is the enantiomer of lansoprazole (a racemic mixture of R and the enantiomer). Dexlansoprazole is provided as a dual delayed release (DDR) formulation in an oral capsule. The capsule contains a mixture of two types of enteric-coated granules, which have different pH-dependent dissolution profiles. The dual delayed-release formulation in dexlansoprazole has two different peak plasma concentration time profiles; the first peak appears 1 to 2 hours after administration, followed by the second peak within 4 to 5 hours. After oral administration, the mean Cmax and AUC values of dexlansoprazole increase approximately in proportion to the dose. Dexlansoprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine.
