A combination of pirenzepine and cimetidine: a new approach to treatment of duodenal ulcer in "non-responders". 1985

P R Dal Monte, and M D'Imperio, and M Ferri, and F Fratucello, and P del Soldato

Treatment of peptic ulcer in "non-responders" with the combination of pirenzepine and cimetidine was evaluated in a longterm study. Patients who did not respond to two months of treatment, first with cimetidine (1 g/day), and then pirenzepine (150 mg/day), were given one of these two compounds alone for 6 months or a combination at lower doses for 24 months. The combination of pirenzepine (75 mg/day) and cimetidine (400 mg/day) was successful in a high percentage of cases, and showed fewer side effects than in the single treatment groups. The effectiveness of the combination treatment might be due to its more significant anti-secretory effects.

D010890 Pirenzepine An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.
