[Cross-over study of benfluorex and a hypolipemic agent in diet-resistant types IV and II b hyperlipemia (author's transl)].

The effects of benfluorex and a hypolipemic agent were compared in 24 patients with types IV or II b hyperlipoproteinemia unimproved after 4 months diet, by means of a cross-over study with two periods of two months treatment separated by two months without treatment. Results showed similar efficacy for each treatment against lipid parameters; statistically significant variations in body weight (-0,8%; p < 0,0001), fasting blood sugar (-11,7%; p < 0.001), and of uric acid (-8,3%; P greater than or equal to 0,001) with benfluorex VS., respectively (-0,1%; P: NS), (+ 3,4%; P < 0.05), and (+ 1,3% PP: NS) with the hypolipemic agent; statistically significant reductions in VLDL electrophoretic levels; (29,7%: P < 0,001) with benfluorex VS., (17,3%; P < 0.001) with the hypolipemic agent; and an increase in HDL electrophoretic levels; benfluorex (10,7%; P < 0,001) VS., (0,9%; P: NS) with the hypolipemic agent.
