[Short-term effects of cimetidine in patients with bleeding duodenal ulcer. Presentation of cases].
The authors here present a work dealing pith two groups of subjects, both groups having the diagnose of bleeding duodenal ulcer; one group using therapy antacid alone, the other using cimetidine and antacid. This last is more affected in controlling bleeding then just using antacids alone. Moreover the use of cimetidine reduces the period of bleeding, increases the number of subject who stop bleeding and reduces the amount of blood transfused in these subjects. We are also convenced that the use of cimetidine even prolong in time, does not protect these subjects from having other relapse. Therefore propose the Billroth II and from own experience this is a good therapy to prevent other bleeding.
