Does holding at 4 mg for ten weeks before escalating reduce reflux?

Asked 23 Mar 2026Modified 4 months agoViewed 3.8k times

The specifics, since they change the answer: 4 mg · ten weeks · reflux.

I understand the observation; what I do not understand is the mechanism behind it.

I have read the two review articles that come up first and both assert this without a citation to a primary source.

So what is the mechanism, and how well established is it?
