The active ingredient in lansoprazole delayed-release orally disintegrating tablets is lansoprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, 2-[[[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2-pyridyl] methyl] sulfinyl] benzimidazole, a compound that inhibits gastric acid secretion. Its molecular formula is C 16 H 14 F 3 N 3 O 2 S with a molecular weight of 369.37. Lansoprazole has the following structure: Lansoprazole, USP is a white to brownish-white powder which melts with decomposition at approximately 166°C. Lansoprazole is freely soluble in dimethylformamide; and practically insoluble in water. Lansoprazole is stable when exposed to light for up to two months. The rate of degradation of the compound in aqueous solution increases with decreasing pH. The degradation half-life of the drug substance in aqueous solution at 25°C is approximately 0.5 hour at pH 5 and approximately 18 hours at pH 7. Lansoprazole delayed-release orally disintegrating tablets are available in two dosage strengths: 15 mg and 30 mg of lansoprazole per tablet. Each lansoprazole delayed-release orally disintegrating tablet intended for oral administration contains enteric-coated microgranules consisting of 15 mg or 30 mg of lansoprazole and contains the following inactive ingredients: anhydrous colloidal silica, aspartame* * , anhydrous citric acid, crospovidone, corn starch, ferric oxide red, flavour strawberry, glyceryl monostearate, hydrochloric acid, hypromellose, mannitol, methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer, microcrystalline cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose silicified, microcrystalline cellulose spheres, magnesium stearate, magnesium carbonate, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, polyacrylate dispersion, sodium hydroxide, sodium starch glycolate, talc, triethyl citrate and xanthan gum. ** Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine 1.6 mg per 15 mg tablet and 3.28 mg per 30 mg tablet.
