Successful treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough with vonoprazan: a report of three cases.
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough (GERC) is a common cause of chronic cough, with an increasing incidence over the years. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the standard treatment for GERC, but some patients exhibit poor response to PPIs. Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), offers enhanced acid inhibition compared to PPIs and has shown effectiveness in treating GERC. However, its efficacy in refractory GERC cases has not been widely reported.
Methods: This report examines three cases of refractory GERC in which patients did not experience significant symptom relief after 8 weeks of PPI treatment. The treatment was switched to vonoprazan to evaluate its effectiveness in alleviating chronic cough symptoms.
Results: All three patients demonstrated complete relief from chronic cough after the transition to vonoprazan, indicating its potential effectiveness in cases where PPIs failed to provide sufficient symptom control.
Conclusions: Vonoprazan is a promising clinical application in the treatment of refractory GERC.
