title: [Pharmacologic treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH): a combination of mepartricin and simvastatin. Analysis and results].
abstract: The Authors propose a medical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) using mepartricina-simvastatina, two drugs with a hypocholesterolemizing action. We have treated fifty patients with BPH (twelve with permanent catheters) obtaining a complete clinical results in 40% of the total and a partial clinical result in 38%. This therapy, in association with a correct diet and adequate physical activity, significantly improved not only the cervicurethral obstruction but also general hematochemical and, above all, lipidemic parameters.
