Abstract

Pill-induced esophageal injury was first described in 1970. It occurs when a caustic medicinal pill dissolves in the esophagus and releases its noxious content, particularly if transit is delayed. Injury of this type, called pill esophagitis or pill induced esophageal injury is common but unfortunately is under-reported. More than a hundred different medicines have been reported to cause esophageal injury.
