  • Title: [Letter: Porphyria cutanea tarda: normalization of porphyrin-excretion following treatment with p-amino-benzoic acid (Potaba) (author's transl)].
    Author: Goerz G, Krieg T, Bolsen K.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol Res (1975); 1976 Jun 21; 255(3):331-5. PubMed ID: 942260.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with porphyria cutanea tarda were treated with p-amino-benzoic acid (Potaba) (3x4g/day). Normalization of porphyrin-excretion was observed after three respectively 45 days of treatment. Furthermore no influence of the excretion of porphyrin precursors (porphobilinogen or delta-amino-levulinic acid) were noticed. Also, no side effects of this treatment were found.
