Dexilant is used to treat certain problems with the stomach and esophagus (such as acid reflux). Dexlansoprazole is used in the diagnosis of certain diseases where the stomach has too much acid. It is used for the prevention of erosive esophagitis or heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which the stomach acid is drained back into the esophagus, according to WebMD.
