[In-patient treatment of peptic ulcer with cimetidine. II. Controlled double-blind trial on gastric ulcer patients (author's transl)]

Abstract

In a controlled double-blind clinical trial of 39 in-patients with gastric ulcer the effect of cimetidine on ulcer healing, ulcer pain and pentagastrin-stimulated acid and pepsin secretion was measured. A faster healing rate in the cimetidine group was statistically not significant. Cimetidine had no effect on ulcer pain and pentagastrin-stimulated acid and pepsin secretion. There were no serious untoward reactions.
