[Efficacy and safety of a new dosage form of vitaprost (tablets coated with intestinally soluble cover) in patients with prostatic adenoma].

An active substance of the drug vitaprost is a complex of water-soluble biologically active peptides isolated from bovine prostatic gland. The prostatic extract has an organ-tropic action in relation to the prostate: inhibits proliferative activity of the cells leading to suppression of prostatic adenoma development, reduces edema and activity of inflammation in prostatic diseases. The new vitaprost tablets can decrease volume of the prostate (this trend was not significant), relieve infravesical obstruction and irritation, improve quality of life. This is confirmed also by IPSS. Vitaprost tablets coated with intestinally soluble cover are recommended as a component of combined treatment of prostatic adenoma in patients with moderate infravesical obstruction irrespective of the patients' age and concomitant diseases.
