QUESTIONS DISCUSSED IN THE MATERIAL:

Therapeutic effect of the drug

Prostopin belongs to the group of combined phytoprostate protectors. The product is based on bee products. By suppressing the effects of estrogens and androgens on the body, it prevents prostate adenoma.

The medicine is endowed with pronounced anti-inflammatory, regenerating, antiproliferative and antioxidant properties, which allows it to be successfully used in the treatment of prostate pathologies of various origins, as well as rectal pathologies.

Course use of suppositories improves the nutrition of prostate tissue and promotes their recovery after exposure to inflammatory processes and other damaging factors on the prostate.

Indications for use

Prostopin is widely used in urology and proctology, the drug is prescribed for the treatment of:

• Acute and chronic forms of prostatitis at any stage of the disease;
• Benign prostate hyperplasia (adenomas);
• Inflammation of the urethra (urethritis) and seminal vesicle (vesiculitis);
• Diseases that occur with impaired sexual and reproductive function, including erectile dysfunction and decreased sperm activity;
• Hemorrhoids. Prostopin is used to eliminate pathological changes at all stages of pathology;
• Erosion and cracks located in the rectal area;
• Proctitis and proctosigmoiditis.

Prostopin is often prescribed as a tonic and restorative drug for increased fatigue of the body, weakened defenses, and during the period of negative influence of stressful situations.

A course of using suppositories improves the functioning of internal organs, disturbances in the functioning of which are caused by poor nutrition and errors in following a therapeutic diet.

Composition and dosage form

Prostopin is produced in the form of suppositories intended for rectal administration. The color of the candles is from yellowish-greenish to brown with small patches on the surface.

The suppositories are torpedo-shaped and have a characteristic odor. 5 candles are placed in a cell packaging.

One suppository contains:

• Activated propolis in the form of extract and native form;
• Royal jelly;
• Dried beebread;
• Pollen (pollen);
• Polyfloral honey collected in apiaries in mountainous regions;
• Beeswax;
• Lanolin and cocoa butter. They are used to combine all the active components and create the form of suppositories.

Price for the drug

The cost of a medicine may vary up or down due to whether the pharmacy belongs to a public or private registry.

The average cost of Prostopin in Russia in regular pharmacies is 600 rubles for 15 suppositories; in online pharmacies the cost of the drug is approximately 550 rubles.

In Ukraine, the medicine can be purchased at a cost of 215 to 300 hryvnia for one package of 15 suppositories.

Pharmacological mechanism of action

Prostopin blocks type 2 5α-reductase and aromatase. Due to this, their activity decreases, leading to the proliferation of parenchymal and stromal cells of the epithelium of the transitional region of the prostate gland and paraurethral glands.

At the same time, the drug normalizes detrusor hyperactivity, which causes urination problems. A course of using suppositories blocks the proliferation of already hyperplastic areas of the prostate, exerting a cytostatic effect on the altered cells.

The components of Prostopin give the drug capillary protective and antihyperplasia properties, due to which the drug helps restore the stromal-vascular connection in the prostate tissue.

The antibacterial and anticarcinogenic activity of the drug eliminates inflammation and helps destroy pathogens.

Properties of active components

The wide range of pharmaceutical effects of Prostopin is explained by the properties of the beekeeping products included in the suppositories:

• POLYFLERAL HONEY. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, immunostimulating, anesthetic, regenerative, adaptogenic, antitumor effects on the human body;
• PROPOLIS. As part of suppositories, it exhibits antiviral and antibacterial effects, promotes the healing of damaged mucous membranes, and improves cell restoration processes. At the same time, propolis destroys fungal microorganisms, activates the work of local and general immunity, tones and relieves pain. There are special suppositories with propolis;
• ROYAL JELLY OF BEES. It is considered a highly active biostimulant; under its influence, metabolic processes are normalized, biochemical reactions are activated in the cells of the prostate and rectum, tissue nutrition is enhanced, and the functioning of the endocrine and immune systems is improved. Helps normalize hormone levels, increases sexual activity, has a rejuvenating, antitumor and tonic effect. The use of suppositories with propolis for male infertility improves sperm production and normalizes its parameters;
• PERGA. Prostopin contains pollen collected and processed by bees from medicinal flowers and herbs growing in the subalpine meadows of the Caucasus. The variety of chemical substances that make up the basis of beebread gives the medicine immunostimulating, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and restorative properties. Bee bread activates the work of the adrenal glands, regulates metabolic processes in the body, increases endurance and mental performance, relieves swelling from prostate tissue, and fights inflammation. Due to this component, Prostopin helps ease urination and normalizes sexual function in men;
• POLLEN OR OTHERWISE POLLEN. The candles contain pollen collected by bees from plants traditionally used to treat infectious and inflammatory processes in the tissues of the prostate gland and intestines.

All components of rectal suppositories complement and enhance each other's action. Potentiation of the properties of individual components is achieved through a special technological process for manufacturing the drug and through the selection of optimal combinations of ingredients.

All this provides a good therapeutic effect from the use of the drug in the treatment of proctological pathologies and urological diseases.

Description of the drug

People who have allergic reactions to honey should definitely discuss the use of suppositories with their doctor.

"Prostopin" belongs to the group of natural medicines that help men cope with inflammation in the genitourinary system, and especially in the prostate gland.

The drug contains beekeeping products. They have a powerful therapeutic effect on the affected organ.

The required components of rectal suppositories are the following medicinal substances:

• Pollen.
• Propolis.
• Mountain honey
• Perga.
• Royal jelly.

There are also auxiliary components that enhance the effect of the main substances. These include lanolin, cocoa butter and beeswax.

A pharmaceutical product in the form of candles performs several important functions at once. Thanks to this, patients can quickly feel relief from their painful condition.

Pharmacological properties

Suppositories effectively cope with the symptoms of prostatitis due to their unique pharmacological properties. They are provided by the components included in its composition.

"Prostopin" has a powerful analgesic effect. Therefore, after using suppositories, men stop complaining of severe pain.

The drug suppresses the active activity of pathogenic microorganisms that lead to the development of inflammation in the genitourinary system. Due to this, in case of bacterial prostatitis, the cause of the development of the disease is stopped.

"Prostopin" has the following properties:

1. Tonic.
2. Immunomodulatory.
3. Rejuvenating.
4. Antitumor.
5. Regenerative.
6. Antifungal.

Most of these properties are characteristic of the drug due to the content of beekeeping products in it. Their active components are able to penetrate and act directly in the lesions. Due to this, rapid relief of painful symptoms that accompanies the course of prostatitis is achieved.

Carrying out a course of treatment based on rectal suppositories allows patients with prostatitis to quickly achieve good results. With regular use of the drug, there is a decrease in the focus of inflammation and easier urination. The quality of sexual function also improves and pain during bowel movements goes away.

Reviews of Prostopin suppositories

“Prostopin really helps in the treatment of chronic prostatitis, but with one caveat - to achieve results, you need to take at least 2 courses of 30 days. I became acquainted with the drug 2 years ago; a proctologist prescribed it to me as part of general therapy. The medicine is not cheap, but it justifies its price. It does not cause adverse reactions and has a positive effect not only on the prostate and rectal walls, but also on overall well-being. Now I start using Prostopin immediately after hypothermia - a course of therapy of 15 days allows me to prevent exacerbation of prostatitis” - MIKHAIL, 42 YEARS OLD.

“I got hemorrhoids after my first birth. She treated for a long time, inserted Relief suppositories, followed a diet. For my second pregnancy I decided to prepare in advance, the doctor advised me to put on Prostopin suppositories, I used them for a month and for all 9 months hemorrhoids did not bother me. It only worsened during childbirth, but quickly passed. Prostopin is a drug containing only bee products, and therefore does not have any adverse reactions on the body, of course, if there is no allergy to honey. Therefore, I consider this medicine to be one of the most effective and safe; it can also be used during pregnancy with the permission of a doctor” - OLGA.

“I’ve had hemorrhoids since the army, but prostatitis was diagnosed as closer to 30 years old. Exacerbations of both diseases used to happen often, treatment helped for a while. For a long time I was looking for a remedy that would help with two ailments at once, and I found it, it turned out to be Prostopin suppositories. I put them on last year in two monthly courses. Since then, I forgot about the painful sensations, hemorrhoidal bumps and difficulty urinating, and sexual activity also improved” - Egor.

“Prostopin suppositories are good at relieving pain from hemorrhoids, promoting the healing of cracks, and facilitating bowel movements. I was convinced of this from personal experience, since in the treatment of hemorrhoids I used many remedies and not all of them brought relief. After a course of using Prostopin, sex life also normalized - endurance and brightness of sensations increased. The only negative is the price of the drug, it is quite high, but after such treatment you can refuse other medications” - MAXIM, IGOREVICH, 47 YEARS OLD.

“My husband was diagnosed with prostatitis 3 years ago. He underwent long-term treatment, but after each hypothermia the disease worsened. We started looking for effective and natural preparations and came across positive reviews about Prostopin on the Internet and decided to try it, especially since the suppository contains only natural beekeeping products. We carried out two courses of 30 days each, and for the second year now my husband has not complained of symptoms of prostatitis. Naturally, they changed their diet, began to eat less fried and salty foods, gave up smoking, and took up sports. We hope that the progression of prostatitis has been stopped” - ANNA, 36 YEARS OLD.

Now you should carefully insert the candle into the anus with your fingers. It should enter the anus completely. It is advisable to push it as far as possible from the rear entrance.
