[Treatment of duodenal ulcer with Zantac-ranitidine].
The results from the treatment with the preparation Zantac -Ranitidine of 30 patients with duodenal ulcers are reported. The treatment was carried out with 2 X 150 mg ranitidine daily for 20 days. As early as the second or third day after the initiation of the treatment, the pain disappeared in 96,6 per cent, the sense of heaviness and eructation -- in 100 per cent, pyrosis and palpation pain -- in 96,6 per cent an nausea - in 93,3 per cent. All indices of the gastric secretion (V, BAO, MAO and PAO) were reduced with a statistical significance after 20-day ranitidine treatment, as compared with the initial values. Epithelization (healing) of the ulcer was fibroendoscopically established in 73,3 per cent by 20th day, and by 40th -- in 93,3 per cent. The bigger ulcers were more slowly epithelized . Ranitidine was very well tolerated and gave no adverse effects. Better results, with a statistical significance, were obtained with ranitidine treatment of the duodenal ulcer, both as regards the effect on the subjective symptoms and epithelization of the ulcer as compared with the control group.
