Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an important problem in systemic sclerosis due to impaired salivation and oesophageal function. AIM:To determine the efficacy of adding ranitidine at bedtime to control nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB) and GERD in patients with systemic sclerosis already prescribed high-dose omeprazole. METHODS:Patients with systemic sclerosis and GERD symptoms (n = 14) were treated with omeprazole 20 mg b.d. and either placebo or ranitidine 300 mg at bedtime for 6 weeks in a randomized, cross-over, placebo controlled study. At the end of each period a 24 h pH-study with intragastric and oesophageal pH measurement was performed. RESULTS:Pathological acid reflux occurred in eight patients with omeprazole/placebo and in seven with omeprazole/ranitidine (P = ns) with technically adequate oesophageal pH-studies (n = 13). NAB was present in eight patients with omeprazole/placebo and six with omeprazole/ranitidine (P = ns) in whom technically adequate gastric pH-studies were obtained (n = 10). The addition of ranitidine had no consistent effect on patient symptoms or quality of life. CONCLUSION:Many patients with systemic sclerosis experienced NAB and pathological oesophageal acid exposure despite high-dose acid suppression with omeprazole b.d. Adding ranitidine at bedtime did not improve NAB, GERD or quality of life in this population.
