Oral administration of 20 mg PGE2/day/patient (5 mg every 4 hours, 4 times a day) promptly relieved pain in 10 patients suffering from duodenal ulcer. After 3 days of treatment, the ulceration--observed by radiologic and gastrofibroscopic means--diminished by 30% in dimensions, and after 10 days, it almost disappeared. The results were compared with those observed in a placebo-group, who received 20 mg lactose/day/patient and with those in another group treated by sodium bicarbonate.
