Medication induced esophagitis

ConditionDescription

Symptoms

Rarely, drug-induced esophagitis can occur due to an anatomical factor or underlying esophageal disorder, for example, undiagnosed vascular ring, scleroderma, etc.

- Antibiotics: One of the most common causes of drug-induced esophagitis. These include tetracyclines, especially doxycycline. Other antibiotics that can cause esophagitis include clindamycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, rifaximin, etc.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): aspirin and aceclofenac can lead to esophageal mucosal injury.
- Bisphosphonates: alendronate, ibandronate. Risedronate seems to be slightly safer than alendronate in terms of gastrointestinal side effects[5].
- Ascorbic acid;
- Potassium chloride and ferrous sulfate;
- Acetaminophen;
- Warfarin;
- Chemotherapeutic regimens: dactinomycin, daunorubicin, bleomycin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, cytarabine, and vincristine cause esophagitis perhaps due to oropharyngeal mucositis;
- Thoracic irradiation • Other medications: anti-hypertensives, quinidine, glimepiride, tiropramide, pinaverium bromide, esomeprazole, etc.
