Prostanorm tablets are a drug intended for the treatment of prostate diseases in men, based on plant materials. Despite its natural composition, this medicine has many contraindications, so it must be taken strictly according to indications, strictly following all the requirements of the instructions attached to it.

Brief information

Despite the fact that doctors quite often prescribe Prostanorm, not all patients know what it treats. This product is a pharmaceutical development, which is registered in the Russian Federation. The supplement is intended to eliminate inflammatory processes in the prostate gland, and can also be successfully used to prevent pathologies of the male sphere.

What do the experts say? Reviews and recommendations

Many patients are interested in the opinion of doctors. What do they say about the drug "ProstaNorm"? Feedback from experts is mostly positive. The medicine really relieves inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland, gradually eliminating problems with urination. Laboratory tests confirm that after therapy with these tablets, the quality of sperm and the number of live, motile sperm are significantly increased.

Patients note significant improvements in their well-being - pain and frequent urge to urinate, which are integral symptoms of prostatitis, gradually disappear. On the other hand, it is worth understanding that this is a herbal medicine that affects the body gently and gradually. By itself, it is unlikely to provide the desired result, but as part of complex therapy it is simply irreplaceable.

Main active ingredients

What herbs are included in Prostanorm? A description of each component is provided below:

1. Licorice root. The plant is rich in organic acids, contains carbohydrates, essential oils, saponins, trace elements and vitamins. Licorice has been used in medicine since ancient times, especially in urology. In addition, it is indicated for exacerbation of infectious diseases. For the male body, the root of this plant is very useful because it helps improve blood circulation in the pelvis, thereby eliminating congestion and stopping the growth of prostate adenoma.

2. St. John's wort.

Traditional healers often use the herb to cure their patients of impotence. Scientific studies have confirmed the effectiveness of St. John's wort in the fight against insufficient potency and malfunctions of the urinary organs. The processed and purified raw materials in the preparation are a source of many useful substances: ascorbic acid, flavonoids, vitamins D, C and A. St. John's wort is also rich in nicotinic acid and carotene. It has anti-inflammatory, vasodilating, antibacterial and analgesic effects. In urology, St. John's wort is quite in demand, as it successfully fights congestion.

3. Echinacea purpurea.

There is a large amount of phenylcarbolic acid in the stems of the plant and in its rhizomes. The substance has immunomodulatory and antihypertensive effects. Studying the chemical composition, scientists discovered betaine, a whole set of macro- and microelements, vitamins, and alkaloids in Echinacea. These components actively fight the first signs of impotence and help reduce the likelihood of exacerbation of chronic urological pathologies.

4. Goldenrod. The plant is included in many medications used by European doctors to treat prostatitis. Herbal extract is also popular in the USA. The substance is suitable for the prevention of diseases of the urinary organs, helps strengthen the immune system, and actively removes toxins, wastes and poisons from the body, which negatively affect not only the male genitourinary organs, but also all systems as a whole.

Auxiliary composition of pills

Additionally, Prostanorm tablets include the following components:

• calcium;
• starch;
• milk sugar;
• gelatin;
• cane sugar;
• food grade talc;
• sunflower oil;
• polyvinylpyrrolidone;
• wax;
• gelatin;
• food dyes.

All these ingredients do not play a special role in treatment, but are necessary for the formation of the pill itself. It is important for those taking a dietary supplement to know the exact composition, because there may be individual sensitivity to each component.

Drops

"Prostanorm" is a medicine that can also be prescribed in liquid form. Drops are supplied in small dark vials. It is important to store them properly after opening. To ensure that the product does not lose its medicinal properties, it is worth putting it in a cool and dark place, screwing the lid tightly. The shelf life is only six months, but this is enough for a course of treatment.

The drops (in addition to natural herbal extracts) contain pyrogen-free water and ethyl alcohol, which is important to consider when taking.

"Prostanorm": indications for use

The biological supplement is not a medicine, but it has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, urologists can recommend the drug to their patients in case of the following problems:

• infertility;
• disruptions in blood circulation in the lower extremities;
• erectile disfunction;
• congestion in the pelvis;
• bacterial, fungal or viral pathologies of the genitourinary area.

Prostanorm can also be recommended for other purposes. The instructions for use indicate the following beneficial properties:

• helps strengthen the immune system;
• normalizes metabolism;
• stabilizes blood pressure;
• prevents colds;
• improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
• minimizes the effects of nicotine and ethanol on internal organs.

In addition, doctors often recommend this active supplement to their patients to speed up recovery after urological operations.

Composition and medicinal properties

Prostanorm is a complex herbal medicine. The medicine contains 4 active ingredients - dry extracts of the herb Canadian goldenrod and St. John's wort, roots of purple echinacea and licorice. It has been proven that these compounds have a prostatotropic effect (that is, they selectively affect the tissue of the male prostate gland). Once in the body, they:

• block the spread of inflammatory processes;
• accelerate the removal of excess fluid from the body, prevent the formation of edema;
• strengthens blood vessels, giving them additional elasticity;
• activate blood circulation;
• increase potency;
• help get rid of urinary incontinence;
• reduce cholesterol levels in the blood;
• relieve pain accompanying the development of prostate diseases;
• stimulate the synthesis of male sex hormones, exhibit androgenic activity;
• suppress the reproduction and growth of pathogenic microflora;
• accelerate metabolic processes;
• reduce the risk of pathological proliferation of prostate tissue and the formation of benign neoplasms (nodules, tumors) in them;
• eliminate the symptoms of cystitis;
• suppress the severity of allergic reactions;
• promote the dissolution of stones in the bladder and pelvic-renal system;
• strengthen the immune system;
• exhibit antioxidant properties: slow down tissue aging, reduce the likelihood of cancer;
• help get rid of excessive irritability, anxiety, and prevent the development of depressive conditions.

The instructions for use of Prostanorm tablets say that, in addition to the active ingredients, the medicine contains a whole range of excipients. Among them are sucrose, medical talc, potato starch and calcium stearate. To make the film coating of the tablets, the manufacturer uses sunflower oil, sugar, magnesium carbonate, beeswax, tropeolin, titanium dioxide, red acid dye 2C and aerosil.

Scientists have not yet been able to thoroughly study the pharmacokinetics of Prostanorm. This is explained by the fact that the key components of the medicine (extracts of medicinal herbs) contain dozens of biologically active compounds. Each of them has individual pharmaceutical properties and mechanisms of action on the human body.

Modern doctors only know that the main components of the drug are rapidly absorbed into the blood from the digestive tract and begin to have a tropic effect on the prostate tissue. It has also been established that the drug does not have a negative effect on healthy cells, organs and tissues of the human body, and does not create an increased load on the patient’s liver and kidneys.

Medical contraindications

According to the instructions for use, “Prostanorm” is a dietary supplement based on natural raw materials. However, the drug contains substances that can cause negative reactions. Some components lower blood pressure. This information must be taken into account. Thus, against the background of low blood pressure, treatment can lead to deep hypoxia, vascular damage, disruption of the heart muscle, and even death of brain tissue.

In addition, the instructions indicate the following contraindications:

• increased excitability of the central nervous system;
• individual intolerance to any component of the product;
• the presence of glomerulonephritis during an exacerbation;
• pathologies of the kidneys and liver in a complicated form;
• thinned blood vessels, when there is a real risk of bleeding;
• diabetes mellitus, since the drug increases sugar levels.

For elderly patients, the drug is prescribed with caution and only after a complete examination. Children and women should not take dietary supplements.

Contraindications: are there any restrictions to the therapy?

Is it always advisable to take ProstaNorm? Reviews from experts indicate that this product is safe in most cases. Nevertheless, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the list of contraindications. The medicine is not prescribed for:

• acute forms of glomerulonephritis;
• various systemic diseases (multiple sclerosis, leukemia);
• diseases associated with autoimmune processes (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lupus erythematosus);
• diffuse connective tissue pathologies (scleroderma, polymyalgia rheumatica);
• allergies to any of the constituent components;
• chronic alcoholism (if we are talking about taking an alcohol extract).

If you have any of the above problems, you should refrain from taking ProstaNorm. The instructions also contain information about relative contraindications. The medicine is prescribed with caution in the presence of tumors (regardless of the location of the tumor), coronary heart disease, vitiligo, and central nervous system pathologies.

Methods of administration

It was stated above that there are two forms of release of Prostanorm. The dosages and methods of taking these drugs vary. Methods of taking a dietary supplement depend not only on the form of release, but also on the patient’s health condition, the severity of the pathology, and the type of disease.

If the doctor recommended liquid “Prostanorm”, the dosage will be as follows: pour 50 milliliters of water into a glass, add 40 drops or 2.5 ml of the product (this is one dose per dose).

The bottle must be shaken before use, and the resulting solution must be mixed thoroughly.

The medicine must be taken half an hour before meals or 40 minutes after meals 3 times a day.

Prostanorm tablets should be swallowed whole, without splitting or chewing. It has been established that grinding affects the effect and degree of absorption of medicinal components.

It is very important to know how to drink Prostanorm and how many days to take it. The instructions, as well as on the packaging of the product, produced in liquid form, indicate that the duration of treatment should be 4-6 weeks. After the examination, the doctor may prescribe a repeat course.

The instructions for the tablets, which the manufacturer includes in each package, indicate the following dosage: take 1-2 pills 3 times a day, also 30 minutes before meals or 40 minutes after meals. The duration of the course is 6-7 weeks.

Release form

The extract is a brown liquid with a reddish tint. The smell is specific, aromatic; the taste is bitter-sweet.

The liquid extract is available in dark glass bottles of 50 and 100 ml, equipped with a special dropper. A cardboard pack contains 1 bottle and instructions from the manufacturer.

The tablets have a biconvex shape and are coated with a pink film coating. On the fracture there is a mixture of gray-brown colors, isolated light inclusions are allowed.

Coated tablets are produced in jars (made of PE or glass) of 30 pieces, or in cell packs of 10 pieces. A cardboard pack contains 1 bottle (or 1, 2, 3 blisters) and instructions from the manufacturer.

Overdose and side effects

To date, no cases of poisoning with the dietary supplement discussed in the article have been recorded. Despite this, you should not exceed the maximum allowable dosage specified in the instructions. If you take Prostanorm uncontrollably and in increased quantities, side effects will not be long in coming. Among the negative consequences are:

• vomiting and nausea;
• allergic reactions;
• insomnia;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• dehydration;
• headache;
• general malaise;
• a sharp decrease in blood pressure;
• absent-mindedness;
• loss of libido;
• temporary impotence.

A one-time overdose will not cause permanent problems in a man’s health. However, if you constantly take the drug in quantities exceeding those specified in the instructions, serious problems will arise from the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. You cannot take this lightly in the belief that Prostanorm is not a medicine, but a dietary supplement.

In the event of an accidental overdose or the occurrence of undesirable reactions, it is important to visit a doctor and stop taking the drug until the reasons are clarified. To provide first aid to a patient in case of severe discomfort that occurs after taking a large dose of the drug, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and stay in bed. You also need to drink any sorbent available in the house.

Concomitant use with medications

Laboratory studies were carried out which showed that dietary supplements should not be taken with drugs similar in composition. This approach provokes an allergic reaction, causes poor health, and contributes to disturbances in the functioning of the heart muscle and internal organs. Hypotension often develops.

According to the instructions for use, “Prostanorm” is prohibited from being prescribed together with the following medications:

• antihypertensive drugs;
• anticoagulants;
• synthetic drugs intended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction: Levitra, Viagra, Sildenafil.

But there are medications that go well with Prostanorm. Among them:

• antiviral;
• antibacterial;
• immunomodulatory;
• anti-inflammatory.

The dietary supplement enhances the effect of the latter and helps reduce treatment time. However, it is important that the selection of medications and their combination is carried out by a urologist or therapist.

The instructions for use of the drug do not contain information about combined use with alcohol. But doctors insist to stop drinking alcohol when treating prostatitis and other diseases of the pelvic organs. It is also very important to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Price of medicine

Unfortunately, many men are faced with the need to take the drug “ProstaNorm”. Instructions, indications, pharmacological properties - this is important information. But for many patients, one of the key factors is the cost of the drug.

Pharmacies sell packages containing 30 tablets - their cost ranges from 270 to 300 rubles. As for the solution, the price of the drug in this form is slightly lower. For a 50 ml bottle you need to pay approximately 120-140 rubles. 100 ml of solution for oral use costs about 180-200 rubles.

Analogs

If for some reason Prostanorm is not suitable for the patient, the doctor may prescribe another drug that has the same therapeutic effects. The most popular analogues can be identified:

• ProstaLife;
• "Prostamol UNO";
• "ProFormula";
• "Vitaprost";
• "Prostatilen";
• "Sitosan Forte";
• Prostate Support.

The principle of action on the body of these drugs is similar. The list of indications for use is approximately identical. All of these products are made from natural ingredients and can be prescribed by a urologist for pelvic inflammation.

Among the contraindications, it is worth highlighting individual incompatibility and an allergic reaction to any component of the drug. To avoid complications and negative effects on the male body, it is important to discuss taking the product with your doctor and carefully study the instructions.

Information about analogues and substitutes

For one reason or another, this drug is not suitable for all patients. Is it possible to replace ProstaNorm tablets with something? Analogues of the drug, of course, exist, but only the attending physician can select them.

Vitaprost, Renel, and Prostagerb tablets have approximately the same properties. If necessary, the drug can be replaced with suppositories “Prostatilen”, “Uroprost” and “Superlymph”. The list of substitutes also includes such products as “Rovatinex”, “Speman” and “Flaronin”.

Opinions of doctors and patients

Reviews about "Prostanorm" are mostly positive. However, it is worth remembering that dietary supplements cannot cure the disease or eliminate the problem. Doctors warn that during therapy it is necessary to take medications and use the supplement as an additional remedy. It speeds up the healing process and improves performance.

In reviews of Prostanorm, some patients write that at first they did not trust dietary supplements, but after using this drug they noticed positive dynamics. Some people note that within a week after starting to take Prostanorm, cramps disappear and nighttime urges are reduced. If you drink the dietary supplement for a whole month, then the discomfort in the perineum ceases to be felt, and potency returns to normal.

If you additionally take Prostanorm during the treatment of prostatitis, the general condition improves and the inflammatory process subsides.

Elderly men also note positive dynamics in therapy. Their pathologies of the genitourinary system are already difficult to treat. Dietary supplements help control the condition of such patients.

Properties of the drug

The main property of the drug is prostatotropism. This concept includes a whole list of actions:

• elimination of discomfort and pain in the groin area;
• reducing the severity of the pathological process and localization of inflammation;
• activation of blood circulation and blood vessels;
• activation of the production of androgens - sex hormones.

After all of the above properties begin to manifest, the development of the pathological process stops, the functioning of the prostate improves, the body’s own reserves are activated, and the process of urination is improved.

The herbal medicine also has antibacterial properties. They show great activity against staphylococcus and streptococcus. In some cases, Prostanorm can replace synthetic antibacterial drugs. After completing the course, the condition of the organ and the general condition of the man significantly improves, metabolism in the pelvic area improves, and libido increases.
