Hiatal hernia is the key factor determining the lansoprazole dosage required for effective intra‐oesophageal acid suppression

Abstract

Hiatal hernia is the key factor determining the lansoprazole dosage required for effective intra-oesophageal acid suppression in complicated and atypical gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. High efficacy of a 30-mg daily dosage of lansoprazole can be predicted in the absence of hiatal hernia.
