Sažetak
Famotidine given in a 20-mg dose at bed-time was compared to ranitidine administered in a dose of 150 mg at bed-time in the prevention of duodenal ulcer relapse during a six-month period. Seventy-one patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisting 40 patients, after curing of acute illness, were treated with ranitidine, 150 mg at bed time, whereas group 2 consisting of 31 patients were treated with famotidine 20 mg at bed-time. Patients from both groups were additionally treated with antacide. After 3 months, one and no cases of relapse were recorded in groups 1 and 2, respectively. After 6 months, three cases of duodenal ulcer relapse were recorded in group 1 and two cases in group 2. Two out of three patients in group 1 and both patients in group 2 with duodenal ulcer relapse were smokers. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in RBC, urea concentrations, creatinine and transaminases in blood after 3 and 6 months. No adverse side-effects were observed during the administration of either drug studied.
