Abstract

A group of 25 patients with uncomplicated BPH was treated mepartricin 150,000 U (40 mg) once in the evening for 60 days and the results were compared with those obtained in 25 patients treated with mepartricin 50,000 U (13 mg) t.d.s. Efficacy and tolerance of both treatment schemes were good. In the group treated with on single dose at night some symptoms such as nocturia and pollakiuria regressed more rapidly.
