前立腺肥大症ならびに女子膀胱症状に対するPPCの使用経験

Abstract

PPC, amino-acids preparation, was administered to twenty men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and nine women with bladder trouble without evident urological findings. Six capsules a day were given to each patient and clinical effects were evaluated. 1) Benign prostatic hyperplasia The drug was administered for 28 to 60 days. Subjective symptoms, digital examination, urofiometric study and residual urine were compared before and after the treatment. Twelve of twenty showed improvement in symptoms, urofiometry and residual urine ; but all but one showed no shrinkage of the prostatic size. 2) Female cystopathy First, a placebo was given for seven days to eleven women with cystopathy, and two improved in symptoms and cystoscopic findings. The rest nine patients were placed on PPC, and two of them showed improvement. 3) No side effects were observed in all the cases.
