  • Title: Has cimetidine revolutionised the medical treatment of peptic ulceration?
    Author: Pounder RE.
    Journal: J Hum Nutr; 1979 Oct; 33(5):367-70. PubMed ID: 501076.
    Abstract:
    Cimetidine inhibits gastric-acid secretion, whatever the stimulant. It is superior to placebo for the healing of both duodenal and gastric ulceration, but it does not cure peptic ulceration. When the drug is stopped ulcers often return. Maintenance treatment with cimetidine taken only at bedtime eliminates duodenal ulcer recurrence in most patients.
