A b s t r a c t The invention relates to new anti-ulcer or anti-ulcer and antiinflammatory compositions, which contain a combination of an anti-ulcer agent or a salt thereof with salicylic acid or an alkali metal salt thereof and optionally a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent or a salt thereof. As an anti-ulcer agent prefer-ably cimetidine or ranitidine is employed, while the preferred non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent is indomethacin. The new compositions according to the invention are devoid of the known side-effects observed as a result of concurrent administration of an anti-ulcer agent and a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, moreover they possess a synergistic anti-ulcer activity. |
