01 / OVERVIEW
What is it?
Prostateks is a Geropharm rectal suppository containing prostate extract, standardized to water-soluble peptides. It is distinct from Prostateks Plus, which also contains tamsulosin, and from synthetic Prostamax (KEDP).
Geropharm’s prostate-extract suppository preparation. A postoperative comparative study evaluated it alongside tamsulosin after prostate surgery. Prostatilen and synthetic Prostamax are related research entries, not interchangeable products.
Selected study findings
human comparative · 2022
Study of this preparation · Indexed abstract; full methods not assessed
127 men after bipolar prostate resection: adjunctive Prostateks 60, tamsulosin-only comparison 67
Urinary symptom, quality-of-life and urine-flow measures improved in both postoperative groups. The Prostateks adjunct group reported larger improvements at one and three months.
Limit: Randomization and blinding are not established in the abstract. Surgery and tamsulosin are co-interventions. The discussion’s comparison with another branded product is not a randomized head-to-head equivalence trial.
Selected findings, not a systematic review or a treatment recommendation. Combination and related-preparation results cannot be attributed to this compound alone. See each source for access status and remaining limitations.

02 / EVIDENCE DIMENSIONS
Evidence assessment
Human research
—127-patient postoperative comparison with an adjunctive treatment group
Study methods
—Original findings separated from registry records and related-product research
Independent replication
—Independent confirmation not established by these linked records
Source access
—Source-specific review scopes accompany each record
Safety evidence
—Preparation-specific safety data are required; related products cannot substitute
These fields describe different aspects of the evidence. A missing record does not mean that no research exists.

Outstanding review questions
Check full allocation, comparator, prespecified outcomes, effect estimates, harms and shared-cohort reporting before drawing a clinical conclusion.
Human reports are linked; their presence does not establish effectiveness. Publication records can share participants. Source counts are not trial counts.
Evidence belongs to the preparation actually studied. A tissue extract and a synthetic peptide can belong to the same research tradition without having equivalent effects or safety.
Tissue-level research association only in this collection; direct molecular derivation of Prostamax from the clinical Prostatilen formulation has not been established.
Clinical evidence and limitations
Historical Prostatilen reports and a 127-patient Prostateks postoperative comparison are linked separately.
Do not assign the Prostatilen cohorts to Prostamax or treat uncontrolled improvement as proof of efficacy.
