Cimetidine in treatment of duodenal ulcer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One hundred patients with endoscopically confirmed duodenal ulcer were treated with cimetidine (Tagamet) in dosage of 1G/day or 400 mg b.d. for six weeks and 400 mg nocte for further 6 weeks. Eighty-five patients completed twelve weeks of cimetidine treatment. Eighty (94%) of these were symptom free and ulcers healed at the end of 12 weeks treatment; fifteen patients were lost to follow up. One patient died of associated renal disease and four patients failed to improve. The drug was well tolerated and no serious side effects were recorded. Routine laboratory tests revealed no persistent abnormalities. It is concluded that cimetidine is effective in the treatment of duodenal ulcer and in giving effective symptomatic relief (JPMA 34 : 55, 1984).
