Chewing lansoprazole can alter its intended release mechanism, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness. Lansoprazole is designed to be absorbed in the intestine, and chewing it may cause premature release in the stomach, which can increase the risk of side effects and decrease its ability to effectively reduce stomach acid. It is best to swallow the capsule whole or follow your healthcare provider's instructions for use.
