Abstract

Medical therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may be approached in two ways: directly applied to correct the underlying mechanisms involved in disease pathogenesis or alternatively applied to symptom severity in a “step-up” or “step-down” fashion. Mechanistic approaches to therapy can further be subdivided into directing therapy at decreasing the frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation to minimize esophageal exposure to gastric acid or more commonly neutralizing or suppressing gastric acidity, thereby rendering refluxed materials less caustic to esophageal mucosa. Pharmacologic agents for patients with persistent symptoms despite lifestyle interventions include nonabsorbable agents, antisecretory agents, prokinetic agents, and inhibitors of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs).
