Disclosed is a new treatment for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), involving combination therapy of a 5 alpha -reductase inhibitor, e.g. a 17 beta -substituted non-azasteroid, 17 beta -acyl-3-carboxy-androst-3,5-diene, benzoylaminophenoxybutanoic acid derivative, fused benz(thio)amide or cinnamoylamide derivative, aromatic 1,2-diethers or thioethers, aromatic ortho acylaminophenoxy alkanoic acids, ortho thioalkylacylamino-phenoxy alkanoic acids, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof, e.g. finsteride, in combination with an aromatase inhibitor, i.e., fadrazole, being 4-(5,6,7,8-tetra-hydroimidazo-[1,5- alpha ]pyridin-5-yl)benzonitrile. The combination provides therapy at the molecular level for the underlying cause of the disease as well as providing symptomatic relief. Pharmaceutical compositions useful for treatment are also disclosed. |
