Abstract

In this prospective study for pharmacotherapy of non varicial upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage eight therapy groups were examined. The efficacy of the most important drugs for ulcus disease was considered. The drugs were used alone and in combination. The results indicated no favourable effect of one preparation (Cimetidine, Pirenzepine, Ranitidine). Significant benefit for the long time healing rate was noted among the combination therapies, especially with Sucralfate, which was not used alone.
