Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Treatment Options

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the esophagus due to eosinophil accumulation. Effective treatment is vital for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Main Treatment Options

• Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Reduce stomach acid and help some patients manage inflammation.
• Topical Corticosteroids: Swallowed steroids can effectively reduce esophageal inflammation.
• Dietary Therapy: Identifying and eliminating food triggers can resolve symptoms in children and adults.
• Biologic Medications: Medications like dupilumab target inflammation and improve swallowing.
• Esophageal Dilation: A procedure to relieve strictures for patients with swallowing difficulties.

For optimal management, patients should consult with a specialist to tailor treatment according to individual needs.
