What is Mylan 8030? What kind of medication is the
pink capsule with "Mylan 8030" written on its sides?
Mylan 8030 is Lansoprazole
(generic Prevacid) delayed release 30mg capsule. In the UK, Ireland,
Australia and Italy, it is marketed as brand name Zoton. There
is quite a number of other brand names under which lansoprazole
is distributed worldwide. The medicine belongs to the drug class
proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and is used for: a) treatment of
symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other
conditions caused by excess stomach acid (including Zollinger-Ellison
syndrome), b) treatment of stomach and intestinal ulcers, c) adjunctive
treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, in complex with
antibiotics.
You benefit directly when Mylan Generics are used in place of
name-brand medicines. First, because you will be receiving a high
quality medicine, and second, because Mylan Generics are generally more
affordable.
The manufacturing facilities of all pharmaceutical companies - those
making name-brand drugs and those making equivalent alternatives - are
routinely inspected by the FDA. These savings are the result of Mylan's
good, old-fashioned, American competition. As you can well appreciate,
when there is more than one company manufacturing and/or selling the
same product, the competition generally results in cost savings for the
consumer.
Hoowever,
you may try and order Lansoprazole (Prevacid) marketed by
other manufacturers, too!
