Résumé
Background: Esomeprazole, an S-isomer of omeprazole, is a much more potent acid inhibitor than most other currently available PPIs and gives excellent results. Therefore, it is a first-line drug for acid-related diseases like NonErosive Reflux Disease (NERD). Yet, patients demand faster onset and response. Aim : To establish the role of esomeprazole and the importance of anti-reflux agents like a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and alginate in treating NERD. Conclusion: Esomeprazole therapy shows potential efficacy in the continuous maintenance treatment of the NERD. However, it is suggested that to improve the efficiency of esomeprazole for the treatment of NERD; we can supplement the drug with antacids (sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate) and alginates.
