Abstract

Objective: To investigate efficacy and safety of treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with esomeprazole combined with itopride.

Method: 72 cases of gastroesophageal reflux disease patients that met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups, with 40 cases in treatment group and 32 cases in control group. There was no significant difference in age and sex of the two groups (P> 0.05). The treatment group was treated with esomeprazole + itopride, while the control group was treated with esomeprazole + domperidone. Course of treatment ran 4 weeks.
