title: The effect of diazepam on human gastric secretion.
abstract: Human basal gastric secretion is markedly reduced after oral administration of 10 mg diazepam. This effect lasts for five hours.Gastric nocturnal secretion, collected five hours after the last meal, reveals a decline towards the morning hours with an average of 25% in placebo-treated patients. A comparison between placebo and diazepam reveals a significantly greater decrease of 47% in volume after giving parenterally 10 mg diazepam without noticeable side effects.
