Medical condition
Acid peptic diseases
Specialty
Gastroenterology
Acid peptic diseases, such as peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux disease, are caused by distinct but overlapping pathogenic mechanisms involving acid effects on mucosal defense. Acid reflux damages the esophageal mucosa and may also cause laryngeal tissue injury, leading to the development of pulmonary symptoms.[1]
The pharmacologic treatment of acid peptic disorders centers on redressing this imbalance by either improving mucosal defenses with drugs like sucralfate, bismuth, and prostaglandin analogs, neutralizing acid with antacids, or decreasing acid secretion with histamine 2 receptor antagonists or, more recently, proton pump inhibitors.[2]
