Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Aerophagy:

1.	Proton Pumps (Proton Pump)IBA 07/01/2013 - "Increased prandial air swallowing and postprandial gas-liquid reflux among patients refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy." 06/01/2005 - "Air swallowing can be responsible for non-response of heartburn to high-dose proton pump inhibitor."
2.	IronIBA 07/01/1984 - "Several causes of colic have been described, including family stress, aerophagia (air swallowing), and the ingestion of iron supplements and cow's milk. "
3.	CorticosteroneIBA 01/01/2002 - "Suggested mechanisms include ischemia, motility disorders, increased air swallowing, platelet-related thrombosis, and increased ACTH and corticosterone secretion. "
4.	Chewing Gum (Chewing Gums)IBA 09/01/2015 - "EFFECT OF GUM CHEWING ON AIR SWALLOWING, SALIVA SWALLOWING AND BELCHING."
5.	CelluloseIBA 09/01/1971 - "The results are consistent with the conclusion that flatus is not the result of swallowing air, but arises mainly from bacterial fermentation of indigestible carbohydrate, eg, cellulose, passing into the colon."
6.	Analgesics (Analgesic Drugs)IBA 08/01/2011 - "Certain factors adjusted for age and sex were significantly associated with IBS (P < 0.05), including gastrointestinal tract infection (odds ratio [OR] 2.26), abuse of analgesics (OR 1.25), air swallowing to terminate hiccups (OR 1.28), fatigue (OR 1.15), and depression (OR 1.36). "
7.	Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)FDA Link 01/01/2002 - "Suggested mechanisms include ischemia, motility disorders, increased air swallowing, platelet-related thrombosis, and increased ACTH and corticosterone secretion. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Tracheotomy 01/01/1982 - "[Aerophagy - a little known complication of tracheotomy]."
2.	Positive-Pressure Respiration (PEEP) 02/01/2011 - "Air swallowing can occur as a psychogenic phenomenon, because of abnormal anatomy, or during non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. "
3.	Laryngectomy 07/01/1978 - "A case of acute gastric dilatation due to massive aerophagy in a patient who had previously had a laryngectomy is reported. "
