Inflammatory esophagitis

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole, are commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, chest pain, dyspepsia, and chronic cough. PPIs inhibit the transfer of protons into the stomach lumen. Pharmacological acid suppression is thus used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori infection as well as to prevent ulcer development with concurrent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use.

Beta-adrenoceptor antagonists can cause non-anginal chest pain because of esophagitis (218), due to adherence of the tablet mass, resulting in esophageal spasm, inflammatory change, and even perforation. 

An uncontrolled retrospective study of patients who had taken proton pump inhibitors for an average of 33 months found gastric polyps in 17 of 231 patients who underwent two or more endoscopies for complicated gastro-esophageal reflux disease (33). The polyps were generally small (under 1 cm), sessile, and multiple, and were present in the proximal or mid gastric body. Of the 15 polyps removed endoscopically, nine were fundic gland type, four were hyperplastic, and two were inflammatory. None had any dysplasia or carcinoma. 

In sclerotherapy an irritant is introduced into varicose veins and esophageal varices, causing a local inflammatory reaction and obliteration of the veins concerned. Sclerosing agents include lauromacrogol 400, mono-ethanolamine oleate, sodium morrhuate, and sodium tetradecylsulfate.
