Effect of Pantoprazole on the Course of Reflux-Associated Laryngitis: a Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Crossover Study

Abstract

The self-limited nature of reflux-associated laryngitis in non-smokers is largely underestimated. Laryngitis improves despite the persistence of reflux. Pantoprazole may be helpful especially in relieving acute symptoms, but the advantage of long-term treatment over placebo has been greatly overestimated.
