Abstract
Oesophageal problems are common. There are three areas where drug treatment can be helpful, namely in the control of gastro-oesophageal reflux and its symptoms, the treatment of oesophageal motility disorders and when oesophageal infection occurs. In this review the management of these three disorders is considered.Keywords
