  • Title: [Procetophen--an alternative in the treatment of hypercholsterinemia?].
    Author: Mordasini R, Grandjean EM, Nobile PC, Paumgartner G, Riva G.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1979 Aug 18; 109(31):1140-3. PubMed ID: 472702.
    Abstract:
    18 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia of type IIa and type IIb, on regularly controlled dietary treatment for 6 months and a 4 weeks placebo period, were given 300 mg procetofene per day for 12 weeks. The subjective tolerance of the drug was good. The serum triglyceride levels were lowered by about 35%, total cholesterol by 15%, LDL-cholesterol by 12% and Apo B by 20%. The HDL-cholesterol values remained unchanged. A slight increase in SGPT values indicates that liver function should be regularly checked in patients undergoing procetofene therapy.
