Antibiotics Heartburn Caused by Esophageal Irritation
Antibiotics are one of many caustic pills that cause esophagitis. The more caustic the antibiotic greater the risk of irritation. What is esophagitis? Esophagitis is the inflammation of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Common causes of esophagitis are acid reflux, medications, and infections affecting the esophagus. The irritation caused by esophagitis can be painful and make swallowing difficult. Esophagitis is commonly caused by antibiotics accounting for close to half of all reported cases of pill-induced esophagitis.
