Abstract: In a double blind study carried out under Standard conditions at two treatment centres silymarin, 2 sugar-coated tablets 70 mg three times daily, showed a definite therapeutic influence an the characteristic increased Serum levels of bilirubin, GOT and GPT associated with acute vital hepatitis. The above mentioned values in 28 patients treated with silymarin were compared with those in 29 patients treated with Placebo. The laboratory Parameters in the silymarin group regressed more than in the Placebo group after the 5th day of treatment. The number of patients having attained normal values after 3 weeks' treatment was higher in the silymarin group than in the Placebo group. A statistical comparison revealed a difference between bilirubin and GOT values in the Placebo and silymarin groups and a definite trend in the regression of GPT values in favour of silymarin. The course of the immune reaction in HBSAg patients was not influenced by silymarin. As already proved by other investigators, the use of silymarin in acute vital hepatitis can lead to an accelerated regression in pathological values, thus indicating its use in the treatment of this liver disease.
