Inventors: Garfield, Robert E.; Chwalisz, Krzysztof; Bukowski, Radoslaw; Yallampalli, Chandra;
Assignee: Schering Aktiengesellschaft (DE); Board of Regents, University of Texas (Austin, TX)
Primary Examiner: Lankford, Jr.; Leon B.
Assistant Examiner: Tate; Christopher R.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Miller, White, Zelano & Branigan, P.C.

The symptoms of the climacterium are ameliorated by the administration to an afflicted individual one or both of a nitric oxide substrate and/or nitric acid donor, alone or optionally in combination with a progestin or, in the case of a non-pregnant female, either a progestin or an estrogen or both.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In a method aspect, this invention relates to a method of treating the climacterium symptoms in a non-pregnant female or in a male mammal which comprises administering to an individual manifesting the symptoms thereof one or both of a nitric oxide donor, alone or in further combination with a progestin, or, in the case of a female mammal, in further combination with one or both of a progestin and an estrogen, or in the case of a male mammal, in further combination with an androgen in amounts effective to ameliorate the symptoms thereof, the amount of the estrogen being bioequivalent to approximately 2 mg per day of estradiol (Progynova.
RTM.
, Schering), and the amount of the progestational agent administered being bioequivalent to 50-300 mg of injected progesterone and the amount of the nitric oxide synthase substrate, nitric oxide donor or both being effective to, respectively, either raise the blood level of circulating L-arginine in a pregnant female to whom the composition is administered to at least about 10-50 nmole above the normally 50-100 nmole circulating levels or raise nitric oxide donor levels -to about 1-100 nmolar (nanamolar).
In a product aspect, this invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one of the nitric oxide synthase substrate and a nitric oxide donor, alone or in further combination with one or more of a estrogen and/or progestin with the amount of the estrogen being bioequivalent to about 2 mg of estradiol (e.
g.
, Progynova.
RTM.
, Schering) with the amount of the estrogen being bioequivalent to 50-300 mg of injected progesterone and the amount of the nitric oxide synthase substrate, a nitric oxide donor or both per unit dosage being effective to, respectively, either raise the blood level of circulating L-arginine to at least about 10-50 nmole above the normally 50-100 nmolar circulating levels or raise the nitric oxide donor levels to about 1 to 1000 nmolar.
DETAILED DISCLOSURE The methods of this invention treat climacterium (climacteric symptoms) in a menopausal/ postmenopausal mammal, e
