SUMMARY Seventy‐seven patients with endoscopically verified duodenal ulcers were randomized to treatment with either 2 g sucralfate daily at bedtime or 1 g sucralfate q.d.s. in a controlled double‐blind comparative study. After a 4‐week treatment period, the healing rate was 68% for the former and 69% for the latter treatment.
