Long-Term Quality of Life Improvement with Lansoprazole: A Healing Oasis for Erosive Esophagitis
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that can lead to erosive esophagitis (EE). This study investigated the long-term effects of lansoprazole on quality of life (QOL) in patients with healed EE. The researchers conducted a double-blind maintenance treatment study comparing lansoprazole to ranitidine, followed by open-label lansoprazole therapy for up to 82 months. The results showed that lansoprazole treatment resulted in significantly greater improvements in QOL indicators compared to ranitidine, and these improvements were sustained during long-term open-label treatment.
Lansoprazole: A Long-Term Solution for GERD
This research provides compelling evidence for the long-term efficacy of lansoprazole in improving QOL in patients with healed EE. The study highlights the importance of maintenance therapy in preventing recurrence of EE and maintaining a high QOL.
