[Duodenal ulcer. Randomized study with 8 therapeutic schedules]

In the outpatient management of 112 patients with duodenal ulcer, 8 therapeutic regimens were tested, consisting of a combination of a one or more of 3 drugs, and compared with placebo. Regarding the tested drugs (anticholinergics, sulphoglicopeptide and sucralfate) in a randomized fashion for 30 months, no regimen was statistically better than placebo, neither in combination (44,6% in 60 days), nor the more effective regimen (64,2%: anticholinergic plus sucralfate). The placebo group had 42,8% of healing rate.
