- "Fullflex".

Of course, these are not all representatives of analogues of the drug “Urisan”. But they are the ones that most often replace this dietary supplement.

The drug "Fulflex"
This drug is used for most diseases. These include:
- Rheumatism of the joints.
- Myalgia.
- Arthritis.
- Gout, etc.
"Fulflex" should not be used by children under fourteen years of age, pregnant women and women who are still breastfeeding. Among the side effects, it is necessary to highlight an allergic reaction to the components of the drug.
“Fulflex” and “Urisan” are similar in composition, namely, both are herbal preparations.
The difference between the drugs is that Fullflex is available in only two forms - capsules and ointment.
The drug is used for one month, as in the case of the original, if necessary, the course can be increased.

Reviews from practicing doctors
Kolomoitseva Alexandra Vyacheslavovna, urologist:
“Urolesan is not a drug. Used as a biological food additive. It is a herbal preparation. It has uricosuric and diuretic effects.
It helps to maintain the condition quite well during remission, but will not relieve the symptoms of exacerbation of the disease. It goes well with medications for primary therapy.”
Kovalevsky Nikolay Nikolaevich, urologist:
“It’s a good remedy that is prescribed in addition to the main treatment. It is a source of plant components that have a beneficial effect on the metabolism in the body as a whole and on the functioning of the kidneys.
In my practice, adverse reactions caused by this drug have been extremely rare.”
Seliverstova Ekaterina Sergeevna, general practitioner:
“I most often prescribe Urolesan as a supplement for gout without an exacerbation. With appropriate treatment and maintaining metabolism at the proper level, it is possible to achieve a state that occurs without exacerbations.
In some cases, I prescribe this remedy for kidney pathologies (urolithiasis and cholelithiasis). Helps prevent rapid growth of stones.”
The drug "Purinol"
Another analogue of Urisan is Purinol. What do you need to know about this drug?
Firstly, its release form. This drug is sold only in tablet form. The only difference is in the dosage. There are tablets of one hundred milligrams, and there are tablets of three hundred milligrams. A specialist will tell you what pills you need to take.
As with previous medicines, this medicine should not be taken during lactation or pregnancy. In addition, the drug is contraindicated for people who have kidney problems.
"Purinol" is prescribed for repeated syndrome of increased uric acid in the blood, as well as for the treatment of absolutely all forms of hyperuricemia.
The dose of the drug is calculated for each patient individually. In the case of children, the dose is prescribed taking into account the child’s weight. The only thing that is the same for absolutely everyone is that the medicine should be taken after eating food and washed down with a sufficient amount of liquid. The course of treatment is long, and, again, its duration depends on the complexity of the disease.
The drug has a huge number of side effects. That is why you should not neglect the advice of your specialist. The main negative actions include the following:
- Dizziness.
- Inflammation of blood vessels.
- Liver dysfunction.
- Hair loss.
- Visual impairment.
And this is not the entire list of side effects that a patient may experience while taking this rather dangerous drug. If negative effects occur, you must immediately stop taking it completely and contact your specialist.
As for the price, Purinol wins quite seriously in this parameter. The minimum price for Purinol is only eighty rubles, and the maximum is one hundred rubles.
