In a double-blind trial of patients with duodenal ulcer at three centres the healing rate after a four-week course of treatment (1 g cimetidine daily) was 79% (30 out of 38 patients), compared with 58% (23 out of 40 patients) on placebos. Cimetidine did not effect subjective symptoms or the need for antacids to relieve pain, except for a minor beneficial effect on diurnal ulcer symptoms during the second week of treatment. Results of long-term administration suggest that cimetidine at 400 mg daily prevent s relapses, but the possibility of an increased relapse rate after cimetidine withdrawal can not as yet be excluded.
