Fifty-five patients with active duodenal ulcer have completed, up to today, a one-month double-blind trial to compare the effects of pirenzepine (150 mg daily), cimetidine (1 g daily) and placebo on the healing of duodenal ulcer. Fifteen (71%) of the 21 patients treated with pirenzepine had healed ulcers compared with 14 (82%) receiving cimetidine (P less than 0.05. In the placebo group there were 7 (41%) healed ulcers. Symptomatic improvement in patients given pirenzepine was as substantial as in cimetidine-treated patients. No adverse effects were noted.

D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
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.
