Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and peptic ulcer disease share similar clinical features, both have a high prevalence in the Australian community and both are associated with gastric acid secretion. In recent years there has been a considerable improvement in understanding of the pathogenesis of these conditions, leading to more effective therapy. The management of these disorders with particular reference to general practice will be reviewed.
