Controlled comparison of cimetidine and carbenoxolone sodium in gastric ulcer.

چکیده
Fifty-four outpatients with endoscopically diagnosed benign gastric ulcer were allocated at random to treatment with either cimetidine 800 mg daily for six weeks or carbenoxolone sodium 300 mg daily for one week then 150 mg daily for five weeks. Ulcers were reassessed by endoscopy at the end of the trial. The endoscopist was unaware of the treatment and did not take part in the clinical care of the patients. Twenty-one of the 27 patients (78%) given cimetidine and 14 of the 27 (52%) given carbenoxolone had healed ulcers. Symptomatic response occurred earlier with cimetidine but was not significantly better. Unwanted effects were more common in the carbenoxolone group: 12 patients developed hypokalaemia, four of whom needed oral potassium supplements. The results suggest that histamine H2-receptor blockade is at least as effective as carbenoxolone sodium for benign gastric ulcer and produces fewer side effects.

COMPARISON OF ANTIULCER EFFECTS OF TRICYCLIC ANTIDEPRESSANTS WITH CIMETIDINE AND OMEPRAZOLE IN RATS
The antiulcer effects of different tricyclic antidepressants (trimipramine, doxepin, imipramine, and amitriptyline) in comparison with those of cimetidine, pirenzepine and omeprazole were investigated in male rats with acute gastric ulcer. Acute gastric ulcer was induced by oral administration of O. 6N HCl solution, 1 mL/rat. Pretreatment of animals with doxepin, trimipramine, amitriptylin...
متن کاملA controlled trial of carbenoxolone sodium capsules in the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
Carbenoxolone sodium is an effective agent promoting the healing of chronic gastric ulcers (Doll, Hill, Hutton, and Underwood, 1962; Doll, Hill, and Hutton, 1965; Horwich and Galloway, 1965; Turpie and Thomson, 1965). The drug is readily absorbed from the stomach and is largely excreted in bile (Iveson, Parke, and Williams, 1966). It is believed to have a local effect on the gastric mucosa thro...
متن کاملTreatment of gastric ulcer with carbenoxolone: antagonistic effect of spironolactone.
Controlled trials have shown that the rate of healing of gastric ulcers is increased by treatment with carbenoxolone sodium, but that fluid retention is produced as a side effect sufficiently often to limit the freedom with which the drug can be prescribed (Doll, Hill, Hutton, and Underwood, 1962; Doll, Hill, and Hutton, 1965; Horwich and Galloway, 1965). We have, therefore, sought a method of ...

Hypertension, oedema, or serious potassium loss has been reported in up to 50% of patients receiving carbenoxolone sodium, 300 mg. daily, for the treatment of gastric ulcer (Doll, Hill, Hutton, and Underwood, 1962; Doll, Hill, and Hutton, 1965; Turpie and Thomson, 1965; Horwich and Galloway, 1965). According to Turpie and Thomson's observations on 10 patients, these side effects can also occur ...
