Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Dexlansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells.
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that irreversibly inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system (proton pump) at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, suppressing basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis. Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis.
30 mg orally once daily for up to 8 weeks; for healing esophagitis, 60 mg orally once daily for up to 8 weeks; maintenance 30 mg orally once daily.
Each dose: Lansoprazole 30 mg, Amoxicillin 1000 mg, Clarithromycin 500 mg administered orally twice daily for 10-14 days.

Terminal elimination half-life is 1–2 hours in healthy subjects, but due to prolonged gastric acid suppression via irreversible binding to proton pumps, duration of action exceeds 24 hours. Half-life is not directly correlated with pharmacodynamic effect.
Lansoprazole: ~1.5 h (prolonged in hepatic impairment); Amoxicillin: ~1-1.5 h (prolonged in renal impairment); Clarithromycin: ~3-4 h (6-9 h for 14-hydroxy metabolite).
Renal (approximately 50% as inactive metabolites) and fecal (approximately 50% as inactive metabolites).
Lansoprazole: primarily hepatic metabolism, ~33% renal (metabolites), ~67% fecal; Amoxicillin: ~60-80% renal unchanged; Clarithromycin: ~20-30% renal unchanged, ~50% hepatic metabolism, ~30% fecal.
