THE ROLE OF ALMAGEL DRUG IN GASTRIC AND DUODENAL WOUND DISEASE

Abstract

Patients with duodenal ulcers were examined for the degree and duration of the effect of almagel, gastrocepin and food on pH and protein digestion by various enzymes of the contents of the stomach and initial part of the duodenum. Acidity and protein digestion were determined in vitro with 3 values of the substrate pH. It was established that almagel and food efficiently reduced the acidity and protein digestion in the stomach and duodenum. Gastrocepin decreased those indicators to a lesser degree but throughout a longer period of time.
