[Effect of an antacid containing calcium on gastric acid secretion, in patients with duodenal ulcer]. / Efeito de antiácido contendo cálcio sobre a secrecão gástrica de ácido, em pacientes com úlcera duodenal.

ABSTRACT

In eight fasting men with duodenal ulcer disease, oral administration of therapeutic dose of 49,5 mEq of neutralizing potency of either sodium bicarbonate or a preparation of calcium hidroxogluconaluminate did not produce significant increase in gastric acid secretion above basal levels for 90 minutes. This data support the conclusion that this specific antacid-containing calcium preparation does not stimulate the gastric secretion of acid.
