Abstract
- To assess the efficacy of famotidine in the healing of reflux oesophagitis, 25 endoscopically proven cases were treated with famotidine 40 mg B.I.D. for 6 to 12 weeks. Six patients were lost to follow-up, of the 19 cases analysed, 16 (84.2%) healed at 6 weeks and 17 (89.5%) at 12 weeks. Twelve cases (63%) became asymptomatic within six weeks of treatment. In conclusion famotidine 40 mg B.I.D. is effective in the healing of reflux oesophagitis.
