Dexlant 60 mg capsule belongs to:

Acidity and heartburn medications

How does dexlansoprazole work?

The secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) into the lumen of the stomach is a process that is mainly regulated by the H(+)/K(+)-ATPase known as the proton pump, large amounts of which are present in the parietal cells of the stomach.

A proton pump inhibitor works by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium enzyme system, which suppresses the secretion of stomach acid.

Dexlansoprazole is a member of a class called proton pump inhibitors.
