The goal of this clinical trial is to compare drug vonoprazan vs esomeprazole effectiveness to relieve early symptoms in Erosive Esophagitis Patients. It will also learn about the safety of both modalities. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How does the effectiveness of Vonoprazan compare with Esomeprazole in improving early symptoms of erosive esophagitis patients in the Indonesian population?
