Abstract

Aim of the study: to evaluate the efficiency of combined herbal drug prostagut-forte in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) clinically shown by lower urinary tract symptoms. Patients and methods: prostagut-forte was prescribed for 86 patients with BPH (mean age 59,3 ± 3,4 years) as monotherapy at a dose 1 capsule (280 mg) 2 times pro day for 6 month. Results show the efficiency of prostagut-forte in patients with BPH. Improvement of symptoms in 1 month was noted by 68 (79,1 %) of patients, in 3 months by 72 (83,7 %) of patients, in 6 months by 76 (88,4 %) of patients. In these periods I-PSS grade have been fallen to 31,9 %, 38,6 % and 41 % respectively. Subjective improvement was associated with improvement in indicators of the bladder outflow. In the end of the study maximal urine flow rate increased at the average for 30,8 %, the residual urine volume decreased for 48,4 %. Prostatic volume and PSA rate were not changed significantly. The most rapid effect was noted after the first month of the therapy. Conclusion: Prescription of prostagut-forte as monotherapy helps to decrease the clinical symptoms of BPH
