metronidazole and Gastroesophageal Reflux

metronidazole has been researched along with Gastroesophageal Reflux in 18 studies

Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
metronidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles substituted at C-1, -2 and -5 with 2-hydroxyethyl, nitro and methyl groups respectively. It has activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, and has a radiosensitising effect on hypoxic tumour cells. It may be given by mouth in tablets, or as the benzoate in an oral suspension. The hydrochloride salt can be used in intravenous infusions. Metronidazole is a prodrug and is selective for anaerobic bacteria due to their ability to intracellularly reduce the nitro group of metronidazole to give nitroso-containing intermediates. These can covalently bind to DNA, disrupting its helical structure, inducing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death.

Gastroesophageal Reflux: Retrograde flow of gastric juice (GASTRIC ACID) and/or duodenal contents (BILE ACIDS; PANCREATIC JUICE) into the distal ESOPHAGUS, commonly due to incompetence of the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We used data from a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to examine the relationship between Helicobacter pylori and reflux symptoms in nonulcer dyspepsia patients randomly assigned anti-Helicobacter pylori triple therapy alone, calcium carbonate alone, or in combination with triple therapy, tetracycline, or placebo."5.10Increased reflux symptoms after calcium carbonate supplementation and successful anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment. ( Correa, P; Feldman, M; Fischbach, LA; Fontham, E; Goodman, KJ; Jain, R; Priest, E, 2003)

"Emphysematous gastritis is a rare form of gastritis characterized by gaseous dissection of the stomach wall usually secondary to invasion by gas forming organisms, corrosive ingestion, trauma, or gastric infarction."1.37Emphysematous gastritis associated with ulcerative esophagitis. ( Abbass, K; Akram, S; Hassan, S; Markert, R, 2011)
"Pre-existing nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux disease, smoking, and older age are important predictors of de novo development of erosive esophagitis."1.36De novo erosive esophagitis in duodenal ulcer patients related to pre-existing reflux symptoms, smoking, and patient age, but not to Helicobacter pylori eradication: a one-year follow-up study. ( Jonaitis, L; Kiudelis, G; Kupčinskas, J; Kupčinskas, L, 2010)
"pylori induces de novo GERD symptoms in ulcer patients."1.31Symptomatic benefit 1-3 years after H. pylori eradication in ulcer patients: impact of gastroesophageal reflux disease. ( Dickson, A; El-Nujumi, A; El-Omar, E; Kelman, A; McColl, KE, 2000)
"All patients had abnormal gastro-oesophageal reflux before anti-H."1.30The effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on gastro-oesophageal reflux. ( Berstad, A; Hatlebakk, JG; Tefera, S, 1999)
