Abstract

Although proton pump inhibitors(PPI) have achieved a remarkable success in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).However,the challenges such as insufficient action duration and poor compliance still exist as the reason for treatment failure.Recently,dexlansoprazole dual delayed release(DDR,Takeda Pharmaceuticals) under the trade name of DexilantTM got approved by FDA,which provides longer duration of action and more effective acid suppression.It is currently approved for the treatment of erosive esophagitis(acute,maintenance) and symptom release of NERD.
