title: [Treatment of primary hyperlipoproteinemias of type IIB and IV with butylbiguanide and clofibrate (author's transl)].
abstract: 21 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemias of type IIb and IV were treated for 8 weeks with placebo, 8 weeks with 0.3 g butylbiguanide and 1.5 g clofibrate/day and then for 8 weeks with 1.5 g clofibrate/day. In 12 patients a second placebo phase of 8 weeks followed. After 8 weeks of combined treatment with butylbiguanide and clofibrate the serum triglycerides decreased from 725 mg to 269 mg/100 ml. During the following period of clofibrate treatment the serum triglycerides increased after 4 and 8 weeks to 326 mg and 306 mg/100 ml respectively. The combined treatment with 0.3 g butylbiguanide and 1.5 g clofibrate/day is more effective in lowering elevated serum triglycerides and cholesterol than 1.5 g clofibrate alone.
