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.

Zoton FasTabs may not be suitable if you:

  • Are allergic to lansoprazole or other PPIs
  • Have liver problems
  • Are taking medicines such as warfarin, digoxin, methotrexate, HIV treatments, or antifungals
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding — seek medical advice first
  • Require long-term use — monitoring may be needed for vitamin B12, magnesium, or bone health

 

Frequently asked questions

  • What is Zoton FasTab and how does it work?

    Zoton FasTab contains lansoprazole in an orodispersible tablet that dissolves on the tongue. It reduces stomach acid by blocking proton pumps, helping ease heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion and ulcer symptoms. The dissolving format makes it convenient for people who prefer not to swallow capsules.

  • How do Zoton FasTab orodispersible tablets differ from normal lansoprazole capsules?

    Zoton FasTab dissolves in the mouth without swallowing a capsule, making it ideal for those with swallowing difficulties. The medicine works in the same way, but absorption may be slightly quicker for some people. It offers convenience when water isn’t available and maintains full PPI effectiveness.

  • How fast does Zoton FasTab start relieving symptoms?

    Some people feel early relief within a few hours, but full benefit usually develops over two to four days as stomach acid steadily reduces. Because the tablet dissolves quickly, some notice a faster onset compared with standard capsules. For immediate relief, antacids can be used alongside.

  • How should I take Zoton FasTab for best results?

    Place the tablet on your tongue and allow it to dissolve, then swallow normally. Take it first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes before eating. Avoid taking it with milk or juice, as water is best for consistent absorption. Daily, consistent timing gives stronger control.

  • What side effects can Zoton FasTab cause?

    Possible side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea or constipation. A mild taste after dissolving the tablet is also common. Serious effects such as dizziness or persistent stomach pain are rare. If symptoms worsen or interfere with daily life, seek medical advice.

  • Is Zoton FasTab suitable for long-term use?

    Long-term use may be appropriate for chronic reflux or ulcer conditions, but PPIs should be reviewed regularly. Extended treatment can affect magnesium, calcium or B12 levels in some people. A clinician can help ensure you remain on the lowest effective dose while maintaining symptom control.

  • Who should avoid Zoton FasTab?

    Zoton FasTab may be unsuitable for people with severe liver problems, unexplained weight loss, swallowing difficulties or signs of gastrointestinal bleeding. It can interact with medicines such as HIV treatments, antifungals or blood thinners. A consultation checks suitability before starting therapy.

  • Is Zoton FasTab a good option if I struggle to swallow capsules?

    Yes. Zoton FasTab was designed for people who find capsules difficult to swallow. The tablet dissolves on the tongue, making it easier to take and more convenient when water isn't available. It delivers the same acid-reducing effect as standard lansoprazole while offering greater flexibility and comfort.

  • Can I use Zoton FasTab for night-time reflux or symptoms after meals?

    Yes. Many people use it to control symptoms that worsen when lying down or after heavier meals. Taking it consistently each morning helps reduce day-to-night acid levels. If night-time symptoms persist, lifestyle adjustments such as earlier meals or bed elevation may help.

  • Can I take Zoton FasTab with antacids or alginates?

    Yes. Antacids or alginate products can provide quick relief while Zoton FasTab continues to work in the background. Leave a two-hour gap between them to avoid affecting absorption. This combined approach is often helpful during flare-ups or when starting treatment.

  • Does Zoton FasTab work for gastritis or stomach ulcer healing?

    Yes. By reducing acid levels, Zoton FasTab can help heal irritation in the stomach lining and support ulcer recovery. Treatment length varies depending on severity and whether underlying causes such as infection or NSAID use are present. A clinician can advise on the correct duration.

  • Can I take Zoton FasTab with other daily medicines?

    Most people can take Zoton FasTab with other medicines, but certain drugs such as warfarin, digoxin, phenytoin, antifungals and HIV treatments may interact. Taking Zoton FasTab at least one hour before other medicines can help reduce issues. A consultation checks for safety.

  • Does dissolving the tablet affect how well lansoprazole works?

    No. Zoton FasTab is formulated so the medicine activates only after reaching the stomach. The orodispersible format doesn’t reduce effectiveness and may offer slightly quicker absorption in some people. The dissolving method simply improves convenience and suitability.

  • Can Zoton FasTab be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

    It may be used in pregnancy when symptoms are significant, though milder options such as antacids may be preferred first. Lansoprazole is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, but individual advice is essential. Always speak to a clinician before starting treatment.

  • How long should I use Zoton FasTab before stepping down or stopping?

    Most people use Zoton FasTab for two to eight weeks before reducing the dose or switching to occasional use. Reducing too quickly may cause acid rebound, so gradual tapering is preferred. A clinician can help tailor a safe step-down plan.
