title: [The effect of cimetidine and gastrozepin on liver function and the pharmacotherapy of "hepatogenous" gastroduodenal ulcers and erosions].
abstract: Toxic hepatitis developed but in one out of 127 peptic ulcer patients treated with cimetidine. In patients (n-142) treated with gastrozepine, no cases of toxic hepatitis were recorded. These anti-ulcer agents did not influence absorptive capacities of the liver or hepatic blood flow. Meanwhile microsomal exidase (antitoxic) function of hepatocytes noticeably declined as a result of cimetidine treatment in every 8th patient with peptic ulcer subjected to the continuous 5-week treatment with the drug and in every 5th patient given the treatment (maintenance included) for a longer time. In patients suffering from liver cirrhosis with secondary gastroduodenal ulcers or multiple erosions, the 5-week treatment either with almagel and platyphylline or gastrozepine provided approximately similar results and promoted ulcer and erosion healing in half the cases. Adjuvant 3-week therapy with sucralfate (venter) having cytoprotective properties led to the disappearance of gastroduodenal ulcers and erosions in 23 out of 26 patients, in whom the previous treatment was ineffective.
