Abstract

Sixty patients were randomized to treatment with either emepronium bromide (Cetiprin®) 25 mg t.i.d. or placebo, both medications administered intramuscularly, after transurethral resection of the prostate. Postoperatively, the number of episodes with vesical tenesms and the need for adjuvant analgesic medication were registered. No significant differences in the number of episodes with vesical tenesms or the need for adjuvant analgesic medication were found between the patients treated with emepronium bromide and those treated with placebo.
