Popis: Background: Prolonged treatment with omeprazole 20 or 40 mg/day is sometimes required, especially for severe oesophagitis. However, information about long-term effects on intragastric acidity and plasma gastrin response with such drug regimens is scarce. Methods: Sixteen healthy subjects (11 men, 5 women, mean age 29 years) randomly received either 20 or 40 mg of omeprazole once daily (at 08.00 h) for 3 months. Gastric pH was recorded every 6 s for 24 h from noon to noon under standardized conditions, and blood samples were collected hourly in order to determine the 24-h plasma gastrin response on day 0 (pre-entry), day 7, day 28 and day 90. Results: From day 0 to day 7, 24-h median pH increased from 1.7 to 4.6 and mean percentage of time at pH
