Abstract

Serum pepsinogen I was determined radioimmunologically in 18 patients suffering from lumbar backache syndromes. These patients were then treated with lornoxicam 4 mg twice daily over a period of 2 weeks. No significant increase in the serum pepsinogen I level was found in 17 (94.4%) of cases. Using the serum pepsinogen I as a parameter for the integrity of the gastric mucosa, this suggests good gastric tolerance of lornoxicam.
