Cimetidine in treatment of reflux oesophagitis with peptic stricture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty patients with reflux oesophagitis causing a tight peptic oesophageal stricture entered a randomised double-blind crossover trial in which they received cimetidine, 1.6 g daily, and matching placebo each for six months. The gross endoscopic appearances of oesophagitis, though not the grades of histopathological changes, showed significant improvement during treatment with cimetidine. The need for dilatation of the strictures, however, was not reduced.

متن کاملBenign oesophageal stricture in Barrett's columnar epithelialised oesophagus and its responsiveness to conservative management.
The response to treatment of peptic oesophageal stricture associated with columnar lined (Barretts) oesophagus (CLO) has been compared with that in peptic stricture without CLO. Benign oesophageal stricture was present in 23 (41%) of 56 patients consecutive with CLO.

UNLABELLED Omeprazole is a well studied proton pump inhibitor that reduces gastric acid secretion. This review examines its use in Helicobacter pylori infection, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) with or without oesophagitis and gastrointestinal damage caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
