Dexilant is kept in the body for a short time. For dexlansoprazole (the active ingredient in Dexilant), no or only a slight accumulation of the active substance has been observed when used once a day. The pharmaceutical form of the drug Dexilant is specific and has a double-delayed release formula - the first peak of concentration occurs 1 to 2 hours after administration, and the second within 4 to 5 hours. Then the concentration of the drug decreases - the half-life in the elimination phase is about 1 to 2 hours. That is, at the stage when the drug is already after reaching the second peak of concentration and the phase of decrease in the amount of the drug in the body begins, then after only 1-2 hours of this phase the amount of dexlansoprazole in plasma is halved.
