Episode 100: Outpatient Management of GERD
Dr. Navin Kumar and Dr. Emily Gutowski continue their discussion of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and tackle the core elements of treatment in the outpatient setting. They go over initial management for milder disease and more aggressive strategies for severe cases. They also go over how to ramp up and taper down PPI treatment, as well as some of the side effects of this commonly prescribed class of medications. This is the second of three episodes on GERD.
