Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is one of the most common disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Current researches shows, it affects about 20–23% of the adult population in Western Europe and North America. The biggest challenges and problems in treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease are: atypical symptoms, extraesophageal symptoms and drug resistance, mainly proton pump inhibitors, which are basic group of drugs in this indication. The lack of effectiveness of proton pump inhibitors affects 17–45% of patients. If despite proton pump inhibitors treatment symptoms persist, it is possible to double the dose of proton pump inhibitor or replace it with another proton pump inhibitor, or add an H2 receptor blocker, alginate, sucralfate or a prokinetic drug. Recently, there have been published new recommendations with main aim to increase the effectiveness of therapy. In 2021, combined European and American guidelines for the management of treatment-resistant reflux disease were published, and in 2022, the Polish Society of Gastroenterology published guidelines for the treatment of reflux disease. The paper summarizes the most important issues of above documents.
