[Treatment of various types of hyperlipoproteinaemia with a combination of Mg-chlorophenoxy-isobutyrate and mesoinositol-hexanicotinate (author's transl)]

Abstract

50 patients with different types of hyperlipoproteinaemia were treated with a combination of Mg-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (700 mg) and mesoinositol-hexanicotinate (500 mg) (Atroplex) twice daily. 7 patients had type IIa, 39 patients type IIb or IV and 4 patients type V. After a period of one month without any treatment the patients were treated during two months. While the effects of this combination on cholesterol of type IIa patients was poor, the drug had an excellent lipid-lowering effect in the patients with type IIb, IV and V. After 14 days' treatment the plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients of type IIb or IV were significantly lowered. This effect became even more pronounced after one-month treatment. There was no significant difference between the effect of one-month treatment and that of two-month treatment. About two-thirds of the patients of type IIb or IV were responders. No serious side effects could be observed during our study.
