Effects of cimetidine and poldine on nocturnal gastric secretion in duodenal ulcer. 1977

J H Saunders, and J M Cargill, and K G Wormsley

Cimetidine inhibited nocturnal secretion of acid but only slightly inhibited the nocturnal secretion of pepsin in patients with duodenal ulcer. Administration of cimetidine (200 or 400 mg), together with an anticholinergic drug (poldine), augmented the inhibition of the nocturnal secretion of acid and of pepsin. The combination of an H2-receptor-blocking drug with an anticholinergic drug will have therapeutic application in the management of duodenal ulceration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010434 Pepsin A Formed from pig pepsinogen by cleavage of one peptide bond. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain and is inhibited by methyl 2-diaazoacetamidohexanoate. It cleaves peptides preferentially at the carbonyl linkages of phenylalanine or leucine and acts as the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice. Pepsin,Pepsin 1,Pepsin 3
