Functional dyspepsia found in 25% of the general population and a
large number of patients referred to the health centers. Treatment of this
disease with promotility drugs is not effective, and is so expensive too.
Evaluation of therapeutic effects of the thyme C.W, savory C.W. drops and
thyme mixture in comparison with ranitidine – metoclopramide compound is
the aim of this study.
This is a randomized clinical trial study in 180 patients with dyspepsia
selected in sequential sampling with similar diet , age group and the same
smoking habit. They were randomly divided into four therapeutic groups;
the whole groups except to the fourth group used thyme C.W , savory C.W.
drops and thyme mixture C.W. with ten drops in three times a day during a
month in a double blind method. The fourth group used ranitidine
metoclopramide compound during a month with the following orders: 1- One
tablet ranitidine every 12 hours 2- One tablet metoclopramide every 8 hours.
It is necessary to be mentioned that biopsy urease test (BUT) and histology for
evaluation of helicobacter pylori were performed in each group and each
group was divided in two subgroups that include : HP. Positive and HP.
Negative.
This study indicated that C.W. drop , savory C.W. drop , thyme mixture drop
and ranitidine – metoclopramide compound caused disappearance of 75%
( or more )of symptoms of disease (the complete healing) in 55.6% , 53.3% ,
42.2% and 42.2% of patients respectively.
Thyme C.W, and savory C.W. drops had the similar therapeutic effects with
that of ranitidine metoclopramide compound in the patients with functional
dyspepsia. Thyme mixture C.W. had a similar therapeutic effect with
ranitidine – metoclopramide compound. Urease positive patients gave
more response especially with the thyme C.W. drop group.
