Cimetidine Prevents Stress-Induced Gastric Erosions.

摘要

Acute gastric erosions following severe stress usually occur in the presence of gastric acid (1). Cimetidine (CI), an H2-receptor antagonist, inhibits both resting and stimulated acid production. This study investigated the effect of CI in preventing stress-induced erosions alone and those potentiated by gastric mucosal barrier breakers (GMBB). (Author).
