title: [Therapy with antacids: dyspepsia with and without ulcer].
abstract: 1. The effect of antacids on non-ulcer dyspepsia is difficult to assess because of the heterogeneity and complexity of this symptom. Nevertheless, antacids may be used in the treatment of dyspepsia because they have a pronounced placebo effect and they are cheap and harmless. 2. The effect of antacids on ulcer induced dyspepsia is difficult to prove either. However, it is justified to use antacids in ulcer dyspepsia because they induce ulcer healing and because of their symptomatic effect - be it as a drug or as a placebo.
