Fluoxetine-induced pill oesophagitis.
Pill-induced oesophagitis is well reported in people of all ages (range 3-98 years), with females outnumbering males by 1.5:1. Antibiotic pills, cardiac pills and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and alendronate are the most common culprits. We report a case of fluoxetine-induced pill oesophagitis in a young adult without any underlying pathological abnormalities of the oesophagus.
