The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Pear and Lansoprazole in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Pear and Lansoprazole

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Lansoprazole and Pear in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Pear at all — not against Lansoprazole, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What Lansoprazole’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Pear. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Lansoprazole’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Kidney problems Worth acting on mentioned in 42.3% of FDA reports for Lansoprazole
  • Loss of vision Worth acting on
  • Low magnesium Worth acting on
  • A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 89 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lansoprazole. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 177,063 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Lansoprazole that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Pear’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Pear side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Pear has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lansoprazole page

“Heartburn and reflux send plenty of people toward both lansoprazole (Prevacid) and the supplement aisle, and that pairing calls for genuine care, since three of the 153 ingredients on file here carry major-rated interactions. Most of the list works through the liver enzymes that clear lansoprazole, either slowing them down (grapefruit,…”

About Pear

What is Pear?

  • Digestive health and constipation
  • Hydration and general nutrition
  • Cough and sore throat (traditional)
  • Hangover relief (traditional)
  • Antioxidant and heart health support

Pear is a common, nutritious fruit that provides fiber, water, vitamin C, and antioxidants, and it is a healthy part of most diets. Beyond its value as a food, evidence for pears as a medicinal supplement for specific conditions is limited, so enjoy it as part of a balanced diet rather than a treatment. If you have allergies or specific health concerns, check with your pharmacist or doctor.

Pyrus communis · Rosaceae · Fruit (commonly); leaves and fruit peel are sometimes used in traditional preparations · Fresh fruit, juice, dried fruit, fruit extracts, and powders

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Pear is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Pear record says about it on its own.

Pear: dosing

There is no established "medicinal dose" for pear, because it is mainly a food. Most people simply eat pears as part of a normal diet, such as one or more pieces of fruit per day.For pear juice, dried pear, or pear supplements and extracts, there is no standardized dose backed by strong evidence. Keep in mind that whole pears also provide fiber that juices and extracts may lack.

About Lansoprazole

What Is Lansoprazole Used For?

Brand name: Prevacid

Lansoprazole is prescribed for a range of conditions where excess stomach acid is the problem. It treats active stomach and duodenal ulcers (sores in the stomach or upper small intestine), helps heal ulcers caused by NSAID pain relievers, and can reduce the risk of those ulcers coming back.

It's also used for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis (acid damage to the esophagus), and rare conditions where the stomach makes far too much acid — like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. When combined with antibiotics, it helps wipe out H. pylori bacteria that cause recurring ulcers.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Lansoprazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (177,063 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Chronic kidney disease 32,791 reports
Acute kidney injury 18,792 reports
Renal failure 13,844 reports
End stage renal disease 9,798 reports
Renal injury 9,520 reports
