A member asked:
Can esophogitis be prevented when there is progressive neuromuscular problem that causes esophageal dysphagia, esp. if ppis arent satisfactory?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use antacids as reco: PPIs are the best medicine to reduce acid production(which is the cause of esophagitis). But there is an optimum maximum dose for each PPI which you should find out from your doctor and use the full dose so that there is complete shut down of acid production. That will minimize the esophageal inflammation(Esophagitis).
