SARABIA, Marco et al. Clinical bioequivalence of 2 brands of esomeprazol administered in patients with gastroduodenal ulcus. Gen [online]. 2017, vol.71, n.2, pp.62-67. ISSN 2477-975X.

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors are used in the treatment of acid-peptic gastropathy. Objective: to compare the efficacy of two brands of esomeprazole in the treatment of acid-peptic gastropathy, the evolution of symptoms and their tolerance. Materials and methods: Patients of both sexes, aged 18-60 years, with or without Helicobacter pylori, who had one or more erosions or ulcers ≥ 5 mm and <25 mm in their largest diameter, in gastroscopy, were included. They were randomized to receive one of the brands, 40 mg / day, orally, for 4 weeks. At the end, they were evaluated with endoscopy, adverse event questioning and laboratory tests, comparing cure rate and evolution of endoscopy. We evaluated the rate of responders according to decreased symptom score, and tolerance through questioning of adverse effects and laboratory tests. Results: Thirty-four patients were enrolled, analyzing the results of 30 patients. In both groups we observed improvement in endoscopy (healing and / or improvement). The score of symptoms improved in both groups, with intragroup but not intergroup significance. Adverse events were not significant. Conclusions: Thirty-four patients were enrolled, analyzing the results of 30 patients. In both groups we observed improvement in endoscopy (healing and / or improvement). The score of symptoms improved in both groups, with intragroup but not intergroup significance. Adverse events were not significant.
