Dexilant gives you 2 releases of medicine in 1 capsule several hours apart from each other. This is why you only need to take it once a day.
Don’t prepare the applesauce with the capsule in it and store it for later — this can damage the medicine and it won’t work properly. Discard the empty capsule once it’s been poured into the applesauce.
If you miss a dose, don’t try to take 2 capsules at once to make up for it.
For example, if you eat lunch at the same time every day, you can set an alarm for 30 minutes before that time for when you should take the tab.
Don’t cut the tab or break it in half. You don’t need water for the tab to begin melting in your mouth.
