Case history
A 76-year old gentleman came to the office complaining of dribbling after urination and weak urinary stream for several years. On rectal examination, a moderately enlarged prostate was found which was of rubbery consistency. Prostagutt, a saw palmetto extract from Germany, was prescribed (160 mg. capsule twice a day). Two months later, his urinary symptoms had disappeared completely. He continued with this treatment until his death at 83 of heart failure.
