Effect of histamine H2-receptor blockade on vagally induced gastric secretion in man. 1974

D C Carter, and J A Forrest, and M Werner, and R C Heading, and J Park, and D J Shearman

Metiamide, an antagonist of histamine H(2) receptors, was administered intravenously to normal subjects and to patients with a peptic ulcer during vagal stimulation with a constant infusion of insulin. In normal and peptic-ulcer subjects there were reductions of 70% and 71% respectively in gastric-acid output compared with control tests on the same subjects. The decreased acid output resulted from a reduction in both volume of secretion and acid concentration. Metiamide is therefore a potent inhibitor of vagally-induced gastric acid secretion.

D006634 Histamine H1 Antagonists Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H1 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous histamine. Included here are the classical antihistaminics that antagonize or prevent the action of histamine mainly in immediate hypersensitivity. They act in the bronchi, capillaries, and some other smooth muscles, and are used to prevent or allay motion sickness, seasonal rhinitis, and allergic dermatitis and to induce somnolence. The effects of blocking central nervous system H1 receptors are not as well understood.
