title: [Target cimetidine treatment of peptic ulcer. Considerations and assessment of a new dosage].
abstract: 32 patients suffering from peptic ulcer have been selected. Of these 12 formed part of a previous series treated with cimetidine and subsequently relapsed; the other 20 were selected on the basis of endoscopic and functional examinations and were treated for the first time with cimetidine. The drug doses used were 1.2 g for 30 days and 0.3 g for a further 60 days. The purpose of the study was to check for possible recurrences by comparing the results obtained and their maintenance in the long term using these doses. 2 months after suspension of maintenance treatment there has not been any recurrence of the acute pain and dyspeptic symptomatology.
