[The possibility for treating the premenstrual syndrome with Periodin].
We examined the possibility of treatment of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with Periodin (Walmark). Periodin is a combination of polyvitamins, oligoelements and phytoextracts which have a relation with prostaglandin's synthesis and regulation of prolactin secretion. A group of 24 women with PMS and regular cycles in premenopausal period (mean age of 44.7) was examined and took Periodin 1-2 caps daily for a period of 3 months as a food supplement. The assessment was made by modified J. Mortola score system. After treatment the PMS symptoms decreased with 52.3% compared with the beginning. The authors conclude that Periodin has a considerable influence on PMS symptoms, no contraindications and could be useful widely in gynecological practice.
