The aim of this work was the ranitidine and omeprazole gastric pH effect investigation. 24 adults, male, mongrel dogs were distributed in 3 groups: group A - control, group B - ranitidine and group C - omeprazole. Gastric pH was measured after gastric juice syringe collection in dogs submitted to gastrotomy. Control group measurements were done at times zero, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Ranitidine group measurements were done at time zero, followed by 0,85 mg/kg endovenous ranitidine, and also at times 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Omeprazole group measurements were done at time zero, followed by 0,68 mg/kg endovenous omeprazole and also at times 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. A significant increase in gastric pH, was observed, comparing groups, after ranitidine and omeprazole use. However, ranitidine and omeprazole compared effects presented no significant differences in pH variation.
