The clinical effect of Eviprostat was evaluated in 53 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Subjective symptoms were improved in 86.2% of the patients who were treated with Eviprostat. Nomogram unit of uroflowmetry also improved in 51.4% of the patients. The overall clinical efficacy estimated by the combination of subjective symptoms and uroflowmetry was observed in 90.9% of the patients. In conclusion, Eviprostat was considered to be useful in patients with discomfort symptoms who had no immediate indication for prostatectomy.
