| Core Tip |
Overlapping mechanisms in gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer, and functional dyspepsia often hinder accurate symptom-based diagnosis. In India, easy access to over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors has fuelled self-diagnosis and prolonged unsupervised use, which reduces treatment efficacy and increases risks of infections and nutrient deficiencies. To address this, a task force of 13 gastroenterologists under the Society for Clinical Gastroenterology reviewed evidence and developed 20 expert consensus statements. Through literature review and discussion, they proposed the acid peptic disorders 360° compass algorithm for distinguishing symptoms and guiding rational acid-suppressive therapy. This algorithm aims to improve timely diagnosis, treatment, and the patient’s quality of life. |
