  • Title: [Therapeutic efficacy of mepartricin in the medical treatment of prostatic hypertrophy].
    Author: Virgili G, Mearini E, Sbarberi L, Camilli P, Costantini E.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1986 May 12; 77(20):861-6. PubMed ID: 2425285.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen patients in various stages of benign hypertrophy of the prostate were treated with mepartricin (SPA-S-160). Three tablets a day were given for a standard period of 60 days. The pharmacological effect of the drug was assessed both by traditional techniques and modern instrumental examinations like transrectal echography and urodynamic analysis. All 15 patients were studied on the basis of a protocol that incorporated standard diagnostic surveys before the start of treatment, numerous tests after 30 days and at the end of treatment. The overall clinical result was more than satisfactory especially in terms of the reduction in the frequency of daily and nightly urination. The echographic and urodynamic results were less spectacular. The drug was extremely well tolerated.
