title: [Changes in the serum pepsinogen level during therapy with acemtacin retard as a measure of gastroduodenal tolerance].
abstract: Early indications of the development of gastroduodenal lesions can be obtained with the radioimmunological determination of pepsinogen I in serum. The influence of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Acemetacin in depot form on the course of the pepsinogen levels in serum was examined during 14 day therapy. Mean and median of pepsinogen I in the whole group of 26 patients did not increase significantly. Likewise no increases of the single pepsinogen levels in serum were seen in 85%. Only 4 patients showed increases of about 20 to 27% compared with the initial values. These results indicate that Acemetacin with prolonged action is well tolerated and has only mean influence on the integrity of the mucosa.
