First line treatment with omeprazole provides an effective and superior alternative strategy in the management of dyspepsia compared to antacid/alginate liquid: a multicentre study in general practice

Abstract: This study demonstrates that, compared to antacid/alginate liquid 10 mL q.d.s., omeprazole 10 mg o.m. is more effective in the management of dyspepsia symptoms and is the patients' preferred treatment.

“…The principal outcome from each trial was 'absence of symptoms' but this differed in how many consecutive days without symptoms were classed as 'complete relief'. For example, it was 7 days in Goves and colleagues' study 142 and 15 days in MeinecheSchmidt and Krag's study.…”

“…In most studies standard doses of H2-blockers were used but the duration of therapy was not longer than 8 wk [18] . Larger studies evaluating higher doses of H2-receptor antagonists and of longer duration may be necessary to determine the exact effect of H2-blockers on functional dyspepsia, but because PPI have been shown to be superior to placebo or H2-blockers in the therapy of functional dyspepsia, it is likely that we will not see major H2-blocker studies for the therapy of dyspepsia in the future [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] .…”

“…Problems with studies evaluating prokinetic agents include small sample size, patient heterogeneity, and poor quality design. Nevertheless, prokinetic agents such as metoclopramide, cisapride, mosapride citrate, itopride hydrochloride and domperidone continue to be widely used for the therapy of functional dyspepsia worldwide [1,2,[27][28][29][30][46][47][48] . Due to its severe cardiac side effects, cisapride is not currently available in most of Europe and North America.…”
