Food

· Severity: Moderate

· Notes for Consumers: Food may decrease the amount of Dexansoprazole absorbed by the stomach, which can decrease the acid reducing effects of Dexansoprazole. To limit this interaction, it is best to take Dexlansoprazole on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes prior to a meal whenever possible.

· Notes for Professionals: Dexlansoprazole can be taken without regard to food. However, when taken with food, a slight decrease was observed in the percentage of time the intragastric pH exceeded 4 over a 24-hour dosing interval (57% after meal vs. 64% fasting).
