Delanzo DDR Capsules 60mg contain Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with a dual‑release formulation used to treat acid‑related digestive conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, and erosive esophagitis.

Dexlansoprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid, providing relief from symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and persistent acid reflux. The DDR (Dual Delayed Release) technology allows the medicine to release the active ingredient at different times, resulting in prolonged acid suppression and improved symptom control.

Delanzo DDR is commonly prescribed for adults with frequent heartburn, acid reflux, or conditions where traditional acid‑reducing agents have not provided adequate relief.
