[The treatment of peptic ulcer patients with calcitrin]

Calcitrin (3 units intramuscularly; course--15-18 injections) was used in the treatment of 59 patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer along with routine therapy. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated by dynamic endoscopic determination of ulcer reparation and normalization of the level of regulatory peptides. Results indicate that calcitrin treatment was followed by a more enhanced ulcer scarring (average 4-5 days) as compared with the control. Endoscopic remission was observed in 54 patients.
