[Physiological control and pharmacological inhibition of digestive secretions]. / Contrôle physiologique et inhibition pharmacologique des sécrétions digestives.

ABSTRACT

The pharmacological treatment of alimentary tract fistulas was for a long time limited to the use of atropine and related substances. More recently H2 blockers, pirenzepine, omeprazole and loperamide have been used. It is likely that in the coming years specific and long acting derivatives of somatostatin and enkephalins inhibiting digestive secretions will be synthetized.
