Overview
Struggling with frequent heartburn or acid reflux but find tablets hard to swallow? Zoton FasTabs melt on your tongue in seconds — no water needed. They deliver the same trusted acid-reducing relief as regular Lansoprazole, helping to ease burning pain, indigestion, and reflux while protecting your food pipe from ongoing irritation. Fast, discreet, and effective — Zoton FasTabs let you take back control of your comfort, wherever you are.
At SwiftMedi, all requests are carefully reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber following a secure online consultation, with discreet delivery direct to your door.
What are Zoton FasTabs
Zoton FasTabs contain lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This helps relieve the burning discomfort of reflux while allowing the oesophagus and stomach lining to heal.
Unlike standard capsules, Zoton FasTabs are orodispersible tablets that dissolve on the tongue, making them an excellent option for people who dislike or struggle with swallowing pills.
They are prescribed for frequent heartburn and acid reflux, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and for the treatment and prevention of stomach or duodenal ulcers. They are also used to help protect the stomach in patients taking long-term NSAIDs.
Just like regular lansoprazole, Zoton FasTabs provide lasting relief, with many people noticing improvement within a few days of starting treatment.
Directions
- Place the Zoton FasTab on your tongue and allow it to dissolve — no water needed.
- Usual dose: 15mg to 30mg once daily, taken in the morning, at least 30 minutes before food.
- Do not chew or swallow whole — let it disperse naturally.
- Course length depends on condition (from 2–4 weeks to longer treatment for GORD or ulcers).
Always follow your prescriber’s advice.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Zoton FasTabs can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most are mild, short-lived, and improve as your body adjusts to treatment.
Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
- Headache – usually mild and temporary.
- Stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, or nausea – digestive upset is among the most common effects but is generally mild.
- Wind (flatulence) – some people may notice bloating or excess gas.
Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):
- Dizziness, tiredness, or difficulty sleeping – these may affect alertness; avoid driving if you feel unwell.
- Taste changes or dry mouth – usually mild and temporary.
- Skin rash or itching – typically mild, but seek advice if persistent.
Rare but serious (seek urgent medical advice):
- Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) – symptoms include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or a sudden rash.
- Severe stomach pain or vomiting blood – could indicate stomach bleeding or ulcer complications.
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) – may be a sign of liver problems.
Most people tolerate Zoton FasTabs well, and side effects (if they do occur) are usually mild. If you are concerned about any symptoms, or they do not improve, speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or prescriber.
Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medicine for full details. If you experience severe or worrying symptoms, seek medical advice straight away. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.
