Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is caused by reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. In most sufferers this is due to a relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that opens to allow food and liquids to pass into the stomach, and closes to prevent food and stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
In general, certain medications contribute to GERD by: 1  Weakening the esophageal sphincter. 2  Some medicine makes acid reflux more likely by weakening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the valve that connects the esophagus and the stomach.3  This allows acid to backflow into the esophagus. Other medications worsen GERD symptoms by exacerbating existing inflammation in the esophagus that has been caused by acid reflux. 2  Slowing digestion. 3  Some medications slow down the body's digestive system, allowing food to collect in the stomach and causing an increase in gastric acid production.
