Pharmacological action, pharmacokinetics

The therapeutic effect of the paste lies in its valuable herbal composition, which has a strong antibacterial effect, soothes, relieves swelling, inflammation, normalizes metabolism, stimulates the body's immune defense, tones the bladder, prevents the formation of stones, and acts as a diuretic.

The combination of plant flavonoids helps the formation of microcenosis, detrimental to gram-positive organisms. Saponins have a detrimental effect on staphylococcus. Algucones help relieve spasms, and silicates actively affect the removal of urea and prevent the formation of stones.

Taking Phytolysin softens existing stones, after which they are destroyed inside the kidneys and then excreted from the body in the form of crushed conglomerates. The product prevents the subsequent growth of existing stones, improves filtration in the renal glomeruli, removes chlorine and sodium ions from urine, and does not affect the electrolytic balance.

How to increase the effectiveness of phytolysin in the treatment of cystitis?

To speed up the process of treating inflammatory processes in the bladder, consuming phytolysin alone will not be enough. The patient's recovery is much faster in cases where the course of therapy is combined with a specialized diet. It is very important that patients drink as much fluid as possible when taking this drug. Such abundant drinking will help flush out from the body more pathogens that provoke the occurrence and development of cystitis. You should also pay attention to juices from cherries, cranberries, lemons and lingonberries. You can drink them 2-3 glasses in a row. They can significantly improve the composition of urine and prevent the formation of new stones. In cases where the patient suffers from constipation, laxatives should be used.

In case of chronic inflammation, care must be taken to ensure that the patient’s body does not become overcooled. In case of exacerbations, it is useful to use heating pads or poultices placed in the groin area.

By using phytolysin, patients will significantly increase the effectiveness of cystitis treatment. This natural remedy will help you quickly cope with the symptoms of this unpleasant disease.

cystitis;
prostatitis;
urolithiasis disease;
urethritis;
pyelonephritis.

infectious pathologies of the urinary tract (for example, cystitis or pyelonephritis);
the appearance of “sand” in the kidneys, ureters or bladder.

The same applies to the period of breastfeeding.

In these cases, the indications for therapeutic use will be the same as for ordinary adult patients.

special instructions

Herbal paste is not capable of acting as a monotherapy in the treatment of infectious diseases of the genitourinary system. Phytolysin, having a high ability to support antibacterial therapy, enhancing its effectiveness and safety, is used only in complex treatment. The drug should be taken as prescribed by a doctor and under his supervision. Uncontrolled use of the drug can lead to changes in the clinical picture, which will subsequently cause serious difficulties in drawing up a treatment regimen.

During the therapeutic course, you must adhere to a special diet that excludes foods that irritate the bladder mucosa (spices, smoked foods, carbonated drinks). You will have to limit your child’s consumption of sweets, especially chocolate. To maintain water balance in the body, you should give it more fluid.

Analogs

The following analogues of the drug can be distinguished:

Canephron also has a natural composition, however, it contains rosemary, which is poorly tolerated by many patients. In most patients, it is rosemary and its extract that can cause allergies due to individual intolerance. Another disadvantage of the presented analogue is its price - the cost of the latter is much higher than that of Phytolysin.
Cyston is a composition made from natural, plant-based components. It contains more than 10 herbs and their extracts, which in their combination have an antimicrobial, diuretic, anti-inflammatory effect on pathogenic microflora. This composition is prescribed for diagnosing infectious and inflammatory processes affecting the genitourinary system. Cystone is marked with a minimal list of contraindications - the exception is individual intolerance and allergy to its active components.
Urolesan , presented on the pharmaceutical market in drop or syrup format. It contains both natural components of medicinal plants and essential oils, which have a positive effect on the urinary system, making it easier to eliminate urine and any harmful impurities along with it. However, this drug has a number of significant contraindications, so it should be used carefully and under the supervision of a doctor: liver disease and pregnancy, as well as lactation.
diagnosing a patient with diabetes mellitus and gastritis, ulcers affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
