[Efficacy of the drinking magnesium-calcium sulfate mineral water in the combined treatment of duodenal ulcer comorbid with gastroesophageal reflux].

Thirty patients with duodenal ulcer in remission running in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were divided into two groups. Patients of group 1 received medication (omeprasol 20 mg twice a day, motilium 10 mg 3 times a day) and mineral water Klyuchi (200 ml 3 times a day). Patients of group 2 received the same medication but no mineral water. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed by the data obtained at esophagogastroduodenofibroscopy, morphological study of gastric and esophageal biopsies, 24-h pH-metry of the esophagus and the stomach. The results suggest that the addition of mineral water Klyuchi to standard medication of GERD shortens correction of clinical, endoscopic and morphological manifestations of the disease.
