Dexlansoprazole is a new generation proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for the management of symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. Dexlansoprazole is the R-enantiomer of Lansoprazole, which is composed of a racemic mixture of the R- and S-enantiomers. Compared to the older generation of PPIs (which includes Pantoprazole, Omeprazole, and Lansoprazole), dexlansoprazole MR has a unique pharmacokinetic profile due to its delayed-release and dual-delivery release system. The active ingredient is released in two phases at different pH values and at different time points, resulting in two peak concentrations in the blood; 25% of the dose is released at pH 5.5 in the proximal duodenum, while the remaining 75% is released at pH 6.75 in the distal small intestine. As a result, dexlansoprazole has a peak concentration within 1-2 hours after dosing and another within 4-5 hours. Dexlansoprazole's unique pharmacokinetics addresses limitations of the older generation PPIs including short plasma half-life, break-through symptoms, and need for meal-associated dosing. These characteristics make dexlansoprazole a good option for people who struggle with adherence and strict dosage timing before meals.
