[Influence of pirenzepin on healing of gastric ulcer. A double blind study in in-patients (author's transl)].

In a double-blind study the influence of Pirenzepin on ulcer healing was studied in 28 in-patients with gastric ulcer under endoscopic control. The ulcer size was reduced by Pirenzepin significantly quicker, and the number of ulcers healed after three weeks treatment with Pirenzepin was significantly higher than under placebo. As to accompanying symptoms appetite stimulation was significantly more frequent with Pirenzepin compared to placebo. No patient complained of dryness of the mouth.
