KAPIDEX(TM) (dexlansoprazole) delayed release capsules Now Available for the Treatment of GERD
Date:2/23/2009

DEERFIELD, Ill., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. today announced that KAPIDEX(TM) (dexlansoprazole) delayed release capsules are now available in pharmacies across the U.S. KAPIDEX, available in 30 mg and 60 mg doses, was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of heartburn associated with symptomatic non-erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), the healing of erosive esophagitis (EE) and the maintenance of healed EE.

KAPIDEX is the first proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with a Dual Delayed Release(TM) (DDR) formulation designed to provide two separate releases of medication. PPIs work by turning off many of the acid pumps in the stomach. KAPIDEX contains two types of enteric-coated granules resulting in a concentration-time profile with two distinct peaks: the first peak occurs one to two hours after administration, followed by a second peak within four to five hours. In addition, KAPIDEX can be taken regardless of when food is consumed.

GERD is a chronic condition commonly known as acid reflux disease. GERD affects nearly 19 million Americans and is often characterized by frequent and persistent heartburn that occurs two or more days a week despite treatment and diet changes. GERD can affect both men and women, and symptoms are often triggered by certain foods, stress or pressure on the stomach.
