[Cimetidine versus ranitidine in the treatment of peptic esophagitis]
Abstract
A double blind test with cimetidine and ranitidine conducted on 60 patients with acid reflux oesophagitis revealed cimetidine to be the more effective. Its success is felt to lie more in the drug's ability to activate defensive factors than in its inhibition of acid secretion.
