[Treatment of stomach ulcer with the Bulgarian preparation Farmaxolon]

Thirty-four patients with gastric ulcer were treated with the new Bulgarian preparation pharmaxolon-Pharmachim, for 20 days under clinical conditions. A favourable effect on the clinical symptoms by the pharmaxolon treatment was established but the differences with the control placebo group were statistically insignificant. A total of 47.1% from the gastric ulcers were healed after 20-day treatment and in 32.3% were reduced in size but here the difference from the control placebo group was insignificant. Pharmaxolon, with its therapeutic effect equals the related foreign (Biogastrone, Ultranyl, Caved-S) and Bulgarian preparations (Alcid-V), hence it is recommended for the practice. Elevated transitory arterial pressure was observed in 41% of pharmaxolon-treated patients, not necessitating the discontinuation of the treatment. That requires a periodic control of the arterial pressure of the patients, treated with that new Bulgarian preparation.
