Popis:	This study was designed to assess the effect of ranitidine on patients with symptomatic oesophageal reflux. In a double-blind comparative trial in 46 patients a twice daily dose of 150 mg ranitidine was compared with placebo. Relief of pain, endoscopic healing and histological improvement were significantly better in those treated with ranitidine. Thus, ranitidine is of value in the management of patients with reflux oesophagitis and may prevent the development of peptic stricture.
