Lansoprazole 30 Mg.
(Newest replies first)

have been taking this med for years mfg,by Sandoz; recently insurance switched me to the same 30 mg, by Dr. Reddy's. since than my blood sugars are running extremely high. Are the ingredients, active/inactive the same. I noticed that one of the inactive by Dr. Reddy's is raw sugar. Could this be the cause of high reading. I do take meds for diabetes, but never had such high numbers, as now with Dr. Reddy's.

Hi MrsM,

Based on my research, these are the inactive ingredients in the Lansoprazole delayed release capsules -manufactured by Dr Reddy's laboratories:

Ammonium hydroxide, hydroxypropyl cellulose, low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium carbonate, methacrylic acid copolymer, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, shellac, simethicone, starch, sucrose, sugar spheres, talc, and titanium dioxide.

Components of the gelatin capsule include gelatin, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, FD&C Blue 2, sodium lauryl sulphate and titanium dioxide for 15 mg capsules and gelatin, iron oxide black, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, sodium lauryl sulphate and titanium dioxide for 30 mg capsules.

dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=82174fcc-1b0f-2068-7fc4-db335b43b5e2#section-16

Seeing as sucrose and sugar spheres are listed as inactive ingredients, there is definitely a possibility that these specific capsules are the cause of your increased blood sugar levels. I would speak with your doctor or pharmacist as soon as you can.

I hope the information helps!
