Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common among the American population and increasing in prevalence, with obesity being implicated as one of the strongest risk factors for its development. Little is known about the effects of currently prescribed anti-obesity medications on GERD symptoms. This review aims to explore the current literature on FDA-approved and off-label anti-obesity pharmacotherapy with respect to their influence on GERD and interactions with commonly prescribed GERD medications.
