Abstract
Ranitidine hydrochloride (an H2-receptor-blocking drug which does not contain the imidazole nucleus of histamine) powerfully inhibited nocturnal and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric secretion in fifteen patients with duodenal ulceration. The drug is satisfactorily absorbed and therefore warrants clinical trial.
