User Comments about Lansoprazole
15 Jan 2011 The Lansoprazole itself works great on my acid and heart-burn, but the side-effects of having impotence quite often is really being to get me down. I think its time for a change of medication.

18 Aug 2009 Had to come off this - came down from 30mg to 15 mg but side effects too bad to work. On the loo all day long. Very disappointed as it started off very well but side effects kicked in after about 4 weeks.
