[Histamine H-2 receptor antagonists and medical treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome]
Abstract
Cimetidine was studied in 8 cases of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The average dose was 1,2 g a day for 14 to 195 days. The treatment was remarkably effective in 2 cases, but only partial or temporary improvement was noted in 3 other cases. The last 3 patients failed to respond to treatment. The possibility of a rebound phenomenon requires strict clinical and biological supervision.
