title: [Tissue concentrations of sulfametrol-trimethoprim in the human prostate (author's transl)].
abstract: Ten patients with normal liver and kidney functions were admitted to a urology department for prostatectomy because of benign prostatic hypertrophy. They received a twice daily administration of 2 tablets of sulfametrole/trimethoprim (Lidaprim) for 4 days; the last dose of 2 tablets was given 4 hours before surgery. Having been enucleated by the suprapubic route, the prostatic glands were examined both histologically and chemico-analytically. The concentrations of the chemotherapeutically active substances were determined in the plasma and in the prostatic tissues. The prostatic tissue concentration of sulfametrole was 24,0 +/- 8,6 mg/kg and that of trimethoprim 7,1 +/- 2,2 mg/kg.
