Drug-induced esophagitis

Abstract: Drug-induced esophagitis is being recognized increasingly in the past few years. Since 1970 more than 650 cases have been reported worldwide caused by 30 or more medications. We have reviewed these cases with a view to classifying this disease based on underlying pathological mechanism. Drug-induced esophageal injury tends to occur at the anatomical site of narrowing, with the middle third behind the left atrium predominating (75.6%). The disease is broadly classified into two groups. The first group being tra… Show more

“…Secondly, the efficiency of the medication treatments for osteoporosis is limited, especially because the patient's compliance is very low [7,8]. The adverse side effects of these treatments are often an obstacle to a long-term intake: Jaw necrosis, oesophageal and gastric complications, atypical fractures [9][10][11][12][13]. On the other hand some drug treatments are efficient to reduce the hip fracture rate only after 12 to 36 months of use [7].…”
