A Peptic ulcer is a small sore or
lesion in the lining of stomach or duodenum, the first part of the intestine.
This sore is often aggravated by stomach acid, but is usually not caused by the
acid itself. More likely, the cause is either a bacterium known as Helicobacter
pylori (H. pylori) or taking non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID...
Heartburn is a cardinal symptom
of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and is among the most common patient
complaints.
Chronic GERD can cause heart
burn, ulcers, scarring, and inflammation in the esophagus. It can also change
cells that line the esophagus. This is known as Barrett's esophagus and it
increases the risk of developi...
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic disorder of the
digestive system caused by the lower esophageal sphincter not closing properly.
This can allow stomach acid, bile into esophagus, causing inflammation and, in
some cases, tooth erosion.
Heartburn and acid regurgitation
are the main symptoms of GERD, though some people have...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is very common during
pregnancy; approximately 45%-80% of
pregnant women have experienced GERD. GERD can have a negative impact on quality of
life, particularly late in pregnancy.
The elevated progesterone hormone
levels of pregnancy probably cause reflux by lowering the pressure in the lower
esophag...
Medical management of GERD mainly
uses proton pump inhibitors. Alginates plus Antacids also have proven efficacy.
Tolerance and safety were good and comparable in both groups.Alginates plus Antacids was
non-inferior to omeprazole in achieving a 24-h heartburn-free period in
moderate episodic heartburn, and is a relevant effective alternative tr...
Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of
Omeprazole and reduces gastric acid secretion through a specific targeted
mechanism of action. It is a specific inhibitor of the acid pump in the
parietal cell. Esomeprazole works better to lower acidity in the gut and
improve symptoms of GERD compared to omeprazole. How?Find out below: RemoveAvailable Brand
Reflux esophagitis is an
esophageal mucosal injury that occurs secondary to retrograde flux of gastric
contents into the esophagus. Clinically, this is referred to as
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Fig: EsophagitisWhich PPI is Superior?Some of the present study demonstrated that Esomeprazole gave faster symptom relief
in patients with R...
GERD is a chronic disorder of the
digestive system caused by the lower esophageal sphincter not closing properly.
This can allow gastric acid, bile into esophagus, causing inflammation and, in
some cases, tooth erosion.GERD occurs more commonly in individuals who are:Overweight or obese because of increased pressure on the abdomen.Pregnant...
A Double Action Antacid &
Alginate Liquid was more effective than an antacid in controlling postprandial
esophageal acid exposure in GERD patients. This suggests that this main
effectiveness related to its co-localization with and
displacement/neutralization of the post-prandial acid pocket, rather than
preventing reflux.Heartburn is...
Esomeprazole Dose - 20mg/40mg WHEN, HOW and WHY?Esomeprazole is a proton
pump inhibitor used to -·
treat GERD, ·
reduce the risk of NSAID associated gastric
ulcers, ·
eradicate H. pylori, and
· ...
Many reflux patients remain
symptomatic on a standard dose of proton pump inhibitor (PPI). In some
patients, especially those with nonerosive reflux disease or atypical GERD
symptoms, acid-suppressive therapy with PPIs is not as successful.
In patients with residual reflux
symptoms despite PPI treatment, adding an alginate plus antacid offe...
