Bile reflux is treated primarily with medications aimed at modifying bile content, binding bile acids, or protecting the stomach and esophagus lining.
Here's a breakdown of the medications used in bile reflux treatment:
- Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA): This medication alters the composition of the bile in your stomach.
- Bile acid sequestrants: These medications bind to bile, disrupting its circulation.
- Sucralfate: This medication coats and protects the lining of your stomach and esophagus.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) | Changes the content of bile in your stomach |
Bile acid sequestrants | Binds and disrupts the circulation of bile |
