Abstract
Preview President Clinton's hoarseness during the presidential campaign represents one of the diverse presentations of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Its prevalence is difficult to determine because so many people with mild symptoms treat themselves. Dr Robinson describes the manifestations and causes of chronic reflux and discusses a multiphasic approach to treatment. Future uses of over-the-counter histamine2 blockers (which are still in development) are also explored.Keywords
