Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Parlodel, 2.5 mg daily, was given during 1-3 months to 14 uremic hypogonadal patients (placebo controlled in 6). Except for a decrease in serum prolactin levels on Parlodel (p less than 0.01), no significant changes in hormonal values (gonadotropins and testosterone) were observed either on Parlodel or on placebo. Parlodel treatment improved the potency of 10 patients, eliminated gynecomastia in 2 and normalized spermatogenesis in 6; the best results were obtained in patients on low-protein diet. On placebo, potency improved only in 1 patient; no improvement in spermatogenesis was registered. Thus, Parlodel can improve sexual function and spermatogenesis in hypogonadal uremic males.
