Dexlansoprazole for Managing Drug-induced GORD, Oesophagitis and Heartburn
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterised by a recurrent retrograde flow of gastric contents into the oesophagus and sometimes into the oropharynx. The use of certain medications has been linked to the onset or worsening of GORD symptoms. A common and effective treatment of oesophagitis and GORD is to reduce gastric acid secretion with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).
