Metoclopramide (Paspertin) was administered to 30 patients with duodenal ulcer at an average dosage of 2 tablets three times daily (= 60 mg/day). An immediate alleviation of pain was noted in all cases, and complete freedom from complaints has usually occurred after 3 to 8 days. Radiological examinations revealed a good relaxation of the terminal antrum, elimination of spasms in the pyloric region, quick emptying of the stomach and a normal relief of the duodenal mucosa. The excellent efficacy was noted particularly in chronic ulcers resistant to conventional medication.
