Rev Gastroenterol Mex. 1989 Jan-Mar;54(1):7-11.
A multicentric open study designed to evaluate the effect of famotidine in the treatment of gastric ulcer was performed in several institutions located in 15 different cities of Mexico. 54 patients with gastric ulcer demonstrated by endoscopy were given 40 mg of famotidine daily, administered as a single dose at night. After 6 and 8 weeks of treatment, healing of the ulcer was observed in 63% and 88.9%, respectively. Side-effects were very unusual.
