It is worth remembering that antacids were a good pharmacological alternative, as we demonstrated in a comparative study of 60 infants with a mean age of 5.4 ± 3.5 months whose clinical diagnoses of GERD had been confirmed by 24-hours ambulatory esophageal pH testing. Group 1 was treated with an orally administered H2 blocker such as ranitidine plus a prokinetic such as cisapride.
Vale la pena recordar que anteriormente los antiácidos eran una buena alternativa farmacológica, como lo demostramos al utilizarlos por vía oral comparativamente en 60 lactantes menores edad promedio 5,4 ± 3,5 meses con ERGE diagnosticada por clínica y pH-metría intraesofágica ambulatoria de 24 horas.
