title: Study of mepartricin possible interactions with antilipemic drugs. Controlled clinical trials in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
abstract: In order to more throughly study mepartricin pharmacodynamic characteristics, 2 groups of 15 patients with BPH and coexistent lipid metabolism disorders were studied in conformity with a sequential experimental design during which also systemic-acting (procetofen) and endoluminal-acting (cholestyramine) fat-lowering drugs were tried. The data obtained confirmed mepartricin specific effect on symptomatology and function in BPH and demonstrated the absence of positive and/or negative pharmacological interactions between the substance in question and the fat-lowering agents tried.
