ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Colloidal bismuth subcitrate (CBS) causes endoscopic and histological improvement in gastritis and eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD). The effect of sucralfate, a cytoprotective drug, on endoscopic and histologic gastritis and H pylori clearance is not clear. We studied the effect of CBS and sucralfate on these features in patients with NUD.METHODS:
Sixty three patients with NUD and H pylori infection were randomized to receive one of the following for four weeks (i) CBS (240 mg twice daily) (Group 1); (ii) placebo I, similar in size, color and shape to CBS (Group 2); (iii) sucralfate (2.0 g twice daily) (Group 3) and (iv) placebo II, similar to sucralfate (Group 4). Symptoms, endoscopic and histological findings and H pylori status were assessed before and after treatment.RESULTS:
Similar symptomatic improvement was observed with each treatment, indicating a placebo effect. Significant endoscopic and histological improvement was observed with CBS only. CBS was better than sucralfate in inducing endoscopic and histological improvement. Clearance rate of H pylori was 46.6% with CBS, 16.6% with its placebo, 33.3% with sucralfate and 13.3% with its placebo.CONCLUSION:
CBS is more effective than sucralfate in inducing endoscopic and histologic healing of H pylori-related gastritis among NUD patients.
