Pill induced esophagitis is caused by a pill! :D
Causes of pill induced esophagitis mnemonic: A PILL.
Aspirin
Alendronate
Antibiotics like tetracycline, clindamycin
Potassium chloride
Iron
Less water
Lying down immediately
Interesting anatomy correlation:
The most common sites of injury are the proximal esophagus near the compression from the aortic arch and the distal esophagus in patients with left atrial enlargement.
The typical endoscopic appearance of pill-induced esophageal injury is a discrete ulcer with relatively normal surrounding mucosa.
That's all!
