  • Title: Double-blind evaluation of cimetidine as an adjunct to the routine double contrast upper-gastrointestinal examination.
    Author: Kutzen B, Radcliffe RV, Carrier JW.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Mar; 134(3):776-7. PubMed ID: 6986622.
    Abstract:
    Cimetidine, an effective gastric hydrogen receptor antagonist, is evaluated as a secretion eliminator in a routine double contrast upper-gastrointestinal study to improve areae gastricae visualization. One-hundred patients in a double-blind study used cimetidine or a placebo. Results suggest that acid secretion blockage with limited dosage has no advantage in micromucosal visualization.
