Gastrointestinal-hepatic-disorders
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

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...
Comparative study of PPI for symptom
relief in patients with reflux esophagitis:
Some of the present study demonstrated
that esomeprazole gave faster symptom relief than pantoprazole, lansoprazole
and omeprazole.
Because:
Esomeprazole has been shown to have a
faster onset of anti-secretory...
