[Somatostatin and cimetidine in peptic ulcer hemorrhage. A randomized controlled study].

Abstract

The efficacy of somatostatin in 20 patients with severe and persistent gastrointestinal bleeding due to peptic ulcer was investigated in a randomised controlled trial in comparison with cimetidine. Seven of the 10 pairs of patients showed a result favourable for somatostatin, but no pair showed an outcome in favour of cimetidine. Three pairs were tied: 2 with double failure and 1 with double success.
