[Efficiency of quamatel in combination with device sound stimulation of the gastroduodenal zone in ulcer patients].

24-hour monitoring of gastric juice pH and esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy and test for H. pylori (HP) were conducted in 117 patients with ulcer before and after treatment with famotidine (quamatel, Hungary) and device sound stimulation (DSS). Combined eradication therapy (quamatel 40 mg/day, metronidazole 500 mg 4 times a day, amoxicilline 750 mg 3 times a day, DSS) eradicated HP in 100% of patients with gastric ulcer and 91.7% of patients with duodenal ulcer. Scarring of the ulcer defect occurred for 11.8 +/- 1.1 and 15.3 +/- 1.4 days, respectively. These results are better than those of monotherapy with quamatel or DSS.
