چکیده

Retrospective analysis of 119 endoscopically proven cases of duodenal ulcer, treated with Famotidin (40 mg),Cimetidine (800 mg) and Ranitidine (300 mg) at bed -time, showed heating rates of 91, 74 and 68%, respectively, at 6 weeks. Twenty patients were followed up for one year on maintenance dose and endoscoped at 3, 6 and 12 months. Despite taking the drug regularly a relapse rate of 14% was seen with Famotjdine and 50% each with Cimetidine and Ranitidine. Though relapse was seen with all three drugs, with or without maintenance, but Famotidine showed better healing and less relapse rate with maintenance therapy (p <0.05) (JPMA 38: 319 , 1988).
