Dexilant SoluTab and Fentora

• Generic Name: dexlansoprazole

Dexlansoprazole is used to treat certain conditions in which there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to treat erosive esophagitis or "heartburn" caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus.

Dexlansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

On October 17, 2017, Dexilant Solutab® (delayed-release disintegrating tablets) was withdrawn from the US market. Dexilant® and Kapidex® (delayed-release capsules) are still available.

Fentora (fentanyl) is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.

Fentora buccal tablets are used to treat "breakthrough" cancer pain that is not controlled by other medicines.

The tablets are used in the mouth but not swallowed whole. The tablet is placed inside the mouth between the cheek and gum (buccal) OR on the floor of your mouth, under your tongue (sublingual).

Fentora is not for treating pain that is not cancer-related.
