The therapeutic equivalence of oral and intravenous iron in renal dialysis patients.

Oral and intravenous iron were compared in patients treated with renal dialysis by a cross-over trial. Intravenous iron was given over 2 weeks as an iron dextran (equivalent to 100 mg elemental iron). Oral iron was given daily as ferrous sulphate (equivalent to 100 mg elemental iron) in a wax matrix tablet. Each treatment period lasted 26 weeks. There was no significant difference in therapeutic or unwanted effects between the treatments.

Retrosternal pain after meals and at night was significantly reduced whilst patients were taking 'Gaviscon' and the beneficial effects lasted for many weeks after discontinuation of the active preparation.

Azathioprine in rheumatoid arthritis.

The ability of azathioprine to reduce the corticosteroid requirements of patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis was tested under double-blind conditions against placebo. After 12 months a significant mean dose reduction of 36% was achieved without undue side-effects. This form of therapy promises to be an advance in the management of severe rheumatoid arthritis.
