Evaluation of esophagoprotective therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease with extraesophageal symptoms in children and adolescents: results of an open-label, multicenter, observational study
Objective. To study the effect of esophagoprotector Alfasoxx on extraesophageal symptoms in children and adolescents with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Patients and methods.
