[Effect of gastrozepin on the rate of gastrointestinal tract evacuation in patients with peptic ulcer of the duodenum].

A modified x-ray method was applied in 41 patients with peptic ulcer of the duodenum to study twice (without gastrozepin intake and after its administration in courses) the rate of evacuation from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of radiographic contrast capsules taken with a trial meal. Administration of gastrozepin in courses significantly decelerated the rate of evacuation of the radiographic contrast capsules from the GIT with an initially accelerated evacuatory function of the GIT and slightly accelerated GIT evacuation with an initially decelerated evacuatory function.
