Description
Summary:Objective. To investigate the comparative efficacy of Magalphil 800 in NSAID-associated dyspepsia. Patients and methods. 30 pts with rheumatic diseases (RD) receiving NSAIDs and having dyspeptic symptoms were included. Pts were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (n=20, 2 males, 18 females, mean age 51,7+12,3 yTs, 7 pts had single erosion of stomach, 1 - multiple erosions, 1 - ulcer of stomach); group 2 (n=10, 1 male. 9 females, mean age 46,2±14,6 yrs, 2 pts had single erosion of stomach). Concomitant therapies (corticosteroids, cytotoxics) were approximately the same in both groups. Pts in Group 1 received one tablet of Magalphil 800 four times a day; pts in Group 2 were treated by ranitidine 150 mg bid. Therapy of RD was not changed during the study. Subjective complains were controlled after 2 weeks. Results. Complains related to dyspepsia disappeared in all pts of Group 1 and in 8 pts of Group 2 after 5,2±2,4 and 7,3±3,8 days of treatment respectively (p>0,05). Healing of ulcer in 1 and healing of erosions in 5 pnts was observed in Group 1. Conclusions. Magalphil 800 is effective in NSAID-associated dyspepsia and can be used for treatment of NSAID-induced gastropathy.
