[Histamine 2 receptor antagonists in the treatment of gastric ulcer].
Eight patients with a clinical, radiology and endoscopic diagnosis of benign peptic ulcer were studied in a prospective fashion using Cimetidine (H2-Receptor antagonist). With this outgoing form of therapy the need for antiacid diminished greatly and pain totally disappeared. We discuss the possible etiological pathways of gastric ulcer and finally propose the simultaneous use of H2-Receptor antagonist and colesteramine with the goal of eliminating the two predominant factors that cause the lesion.
