摘要 |
A pharmaceutical composition containing a dihydrotestosterone blocker of a 5alpha-reductase active site binding peptide, Serenoa repens, or mixtures thereof, encapsulated within liposomes, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is described. The composition is preferably orally administered in amounts effective to block production of excessive amounts of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in prostatic tissue. By doing so, the composition is able to prevent and treat disorders of the prostate, including benign prostate hyperplasia.
