[Efficacy of a combined Sabal-urtica preparation in the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Results of a placebo-controlled double-blind study].

AbstractUNLABELLED:
This re-evaluation of a double-blind placebo-controlled therapeutic study of the combined sabal-urtica preparation PRO 160/120 investigates the changes in the irritative symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) under the test substance in comparison with placebo. It was found that, over the study period of 24 weeks, the micturition symptoms frequency and urgency were statistically significantly improved under the well-tolerated PRO 160/120 in comparison with placebo. The patient's quality of life was also significantly better under PRO 160/120 in comparison with placebo.
CONCLUSION:
The often distressing symptoms of BPH can be effectively ameliorated already after only a few weeks of treatment with the sabal-urtica preparation PRO 160/120. In particular those patients with the stigmatizing symptoms urinary urgency and frequency benefit from such treatment.
