[Effectiveness of metoclopramide in stomach ulcer].
The effect of metoclopramide and placebo was tested in 50 patients with an endoscopically and bioptically ascertained ventricular ulcer. In this case was started from the consideration that the motility of the stomach might play a role in the pathophysiology of the origination of ulcer. Indeed, metoclopramide is superior to placebo, however, significant effects cannot be found. The preparation has a favourable effect on dyspeptic complaints in the ulcerous disease and should be used here. Metoclopramide is no substitute for effective therapeutics in ulcer. A general use in the therapy of ulcer cannot be recommended.
