In the double-blind study of 51 patients with duodenal ulcer the effect of doxepin and placebo was evaluated. Complete healing of the ulcer was found in 19 of 23 patients after 4 weeks of treatment with 50 mg doxepin (83%) and in 14 of 27 patients given placebo (52%) (p less than 0.05). Two patients in the placebo group developed complications necessitating surgical intervention. No serious side effects were registered in the doxepin group.
