The persistent, recurrent acid-peptic illness known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is marked by a recurrence of bothersome reflux symptoms. Since it's a chronic illness, treatment must be ongoing. Patients usually start with simple lifestyle changes, and since they are easy to implement and inexpensive, they should be kept up even when more effective therapy are started. Currently, the most significant and effective medical treatment is powerful acid-suppressive medication. Whereas healing of the oesophageal mucosa is achieved with a single dosage of any proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in more than 80% of instances. PPI is still the best course of action, and it is "on-demand". PPIs have shown to be an affordable, long-term medication. By reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, PPIs lessen the symptoms of acid reflux into the oesophagus and heartburn. Studies with extended follow-up show that PPIs are a safe, effective, and acceptable treatment.
