[Effectiveness and safety of long-term H2-receptor antagonist maintenance therapy].
The long-term maintenance therapy with an H2 receptor antagonist is currently the best treatment for ulcer disease. The treatment is effective in keeping most ulcers in remission, and is safe both by preventing ulcer complications and because the treatment itself is innocuous. Maintenance therapy achieves the objective of all treatment--it restores patients to normal health. Treatment of ulcer disease with an H2 receptor antagonist can be considered one of the triumphs of modern therapy.
