Pharmacological group
The drug is used in the treatment of prostate diseases. Cernilton has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effect. The product provides regulation of metabolic processes occurring in the human body.
The pharmacological properties of the drug are based on dose-dependent inhibition of lipoxygenase. This activity provokes inhibition of the production of inflammatory mediators of the arachidonic acid cycle. Against the background of such activity, inflammation and swelling of organ tissues are reduced. The product provides pain relief. The drug has a muscle relaxant effect, which leads to weakening of the smooth muscle elements of the posterior wall of the urethra and restores the normal process of urination.
The drug significantly reduces prostate volume by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase. The drug selectively blocks adrenergic receptors of the smooth muscle elements of the urethra and has an antiandrogenic effect. The drug improves erectile function with prolonged use.
The medicinal properties of a drug are explained by its chemical composition. The drug contains predominantly plant components containing amino acids that are actively involved in protein synthesis. Amino acids enhance the positive effects of vitamins and mineral salts. The products are a vitamin complex, including pyridoxine, vitamin B6, cyanocobalamin and vitamin B12.
It is worth noting that the drug contains enzymes, namely lyases, isomerases, obseredductases, hydrolases. Such substances take part in the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fibers, providing the energy needs of cells. Currently, the manufacturer has not provided the consumer with information regarding the processes of absorption and excretion of components from the body.

Indicated for acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate gland, prostate adenoma (including a combination of these two pathological conditions). The optimal time to take it is half an hour before meals.
