[Treatment of cimetidine-resistant gastric ulcer with carbenoxolone-sodium (author's transl)].

Case report on a successful treatment of a cimetidine-resistant gastric ulcer with carbenoxolone-Na. Administration of 1.0g cimetidine/d over a period of 8 weeks failed to reduce gastric ulcer size. Subsequent therapy with carbenoxolon-Na caused a complete healing of the gastric ulcer within 4 weeks. This case is discussed with respect to the possible advantages of a combined regimen with drugs of different mechanisms of action.
