Core Tip: Various lesions associated with medication use are detected during esophagogastroduodenoscopy, including pill-induced esophagitis, desquamative esophagitis, deteriorating gastroesophageal reflux, chemotherapy-induced esophagitis, proton pump inhibitor-induced gastric mucosal changes, medication-induced gastric erosions and ulcers, pseudomelanosis of the stomach, olmesartan-related gastric mucosal inflammation, lanthanum deposition in the stomach, zinc acetate hydrate tablet-induced gastric lesions, immune-related adverse event gastritis, olmesartan-associated sprue-like enteropathy, duodenal pseudomelanosis, and lanthanum deposition. Endoscopists must diagnose these mucosal alterations by acquiring pertinent knowledge regarding medication-induced lesions, concomitant with inquiries concerning patient medication history.
