Usually, Lanprosh 30mg Capsule is taken once a day, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. If you take Lanprosh 30mg Capsule twice a day, take 1 dose in the morning and 1 dose in the evening. The tablets should be swallowed whole (remember not be chewed or crushed) and taken at least 1 hour before a meal with some water.
