Article Synopsis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition divided into two types: erosive reflux disease (ERD) and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), primarily influenced by acid secretion and managed with various acid-suppressant medications.
- Since the 1970s, treatments have evolved from histamine-H-receptor antagonists to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and recently, potassium-competitive acid blockers (p-CABs) like Vonoprazan have emerged, offering improved efficacy and safety.
- Vonoprazan has demonstrated effectiveness in managing ERD and related symptoms, showing potential advantages over older PPIs, with ongoing research expected to explore its long-term benefits in treating other acid-related
