Rectal suppositories Uroprost is a drug intended for the treatment of prostatitis in men. Despite their natural composition, suppositories have a whole range of contraindications and side effects. Therefore, they must be used with caution, strictly following all the recommendations given in the instructions.

Features of the composition. Description of release form

In modern medical practice, Uroprost suppositories are often used. Reviews indicate that the drug helps cope with many problems. And first, it’s worth understanding the general information.

The medicine is available in the form of torpedo-shaped suppositories intended for rectal administration. Candles are white, sometimes with a grayish, creamy or even brown tint. Suppositories are placed in contour packages of 10 pieces.

The main active substance of the drug is an extract obtained from the prostate gland of mature bulls. Each suppository contains 50 mg of this component. The composition contains vitepsol (950 mg), which ensures optimal distribution of the protein molecules of the extract (in fact, it is solid fat of animal origin).

"Uroprost" and "Uroprost D": what is the difference?

There are two versions of this medicine. Of course, many patients are interested in questions about how the regular one differs from the Uroprost D suppository? Reviews indicate that both drugs have the same properties and are used in the same cases. The difference between the drugs is their composition. "Uroprost D" contains the same prostate extract, but its amount is 30 mg. In addition, the composition contains fat, macrogol and dimethyl sulfoxide.

Analogs and price

Among the drugs with a similar therapeutic effect, it is necessary to highlight the following medications: Uroprost D, Vitaprost, Afala, Prostanorm, Prostatilen, Samprost, Speman, Tentex forte, Himcolin.

Vitaprost Afala Prostanorm Speman

The price of Uroprost suppositories in various pharmacies across the country ranges from 400 to 610 rubles. The drug is available without a prescription, so anyone can easily purchase them, but advice from a qualified specialist will be very useful. Manufacturer: domestic company Altfarm.

Uroprost D costs a little more - about 700 rubles or more.

What properties does the product have?

How do Uroprost suppositories affect the male body? Reviews from experts and the results of medical studies have shown that the drug has a beneficial effect on the organs of the reproductive system and more. The extract obtained from the prostate gland of bulls contains biologically active peptides called cytomedins.

These protein molecules are a kind of connecting link, transmitting signals from one cell to another. Thus, the drug helps restore connections between the structures of the prostate gland. By the way, during production, all substances that can provoke an allergic reaction are removed from the extract.

What properties do Uroprost suppositories have? The instructions contain information that the drug has an anti-inflammatory effect, relieving swelling of the prostate gland, eliminating pain. The medicine thins the blood, prevents the development of vein thrombosis (especially in the pelvic area), and improves blood circulation.

Suppositories for prostatitis - inexpensive and effective for treatment and prevention

Have you been struggling with PROSTATITIS and POTENTITY for many years without success?

Head of the Institute: “You will be amazed at how easy it is to cure prostatitis by taking it every day...

Along with tablets for inflammation of the prostate gland, urologists actively use rectal forms of drug use. Suppositories for prostatitis are inexpensive and effective means to quickly stop or relieve inflammation. Suppositories have proven themselves well in the treatment of both acute and chronic forms of the disease.

Why are candles so useful?

All medications produced by pharmaceutical companies are a source of active ingredients that enter the blood and then to the organs. Then is there a difference between their shape? Of course, and any specialist knows this. It is impossible to say that only suppositories are useful for inflammation of the prostate. But you can’t ignore all the advantages of suppositories either. If a man is undergoing treatment for prostatitis, then suppositories will provide a number of advantages:

1. The active substance of each suppository enters the rectum. Here, it is separated from the prostate gland only by a thin mucous membrane, which has excellent digestibility. It turns out that the effect of the candle will be noticeably faster than if you take a pill.
2. When taking the medicine orally, the tablet first passes through the esophagus and enters the stomach, where it is broken down. Through the bloodstream through the liver, the active components enter the circulatory system and are distributed throughout the body. Firstly, this pattern of drug action is longer. Secondly, some of the active components are simply not absorbed and are excreted in urine and feces. By the way, this is why the dose of the substance in tablets is usually higher than when using a candle. Thirdly, the gastrointestinal condition of some patients is not the best. Many tablets negatively affect the mucous membrane and thereby aggravate other diseases of the patient.
3. Suppositories for prostate inflammation are less toxic than pills, the use of which may be accompanied by a deterioration in overall health.
4. The use of suppositories may be appropriate in cases where the patient suffers from epileptic disorders, has a poor swallowing reflex, or the man simply categorically does not like the taste of the pill.

Types of suppositories for prostatitis

According to their effect on the body, rectal suppositories for prostatitis can be:

• anti-inflammatory;
• painkillers;
• antibacterial;
• immuno-strengthening.

Each of these groups of suppositories has its own characteristics and purpose.

Anti-inflammatory suppositories

They act directly on the area in which the inflammatory process progresses. Inflammation is almost always characterized by edema, because leukocytes accumulate in this place - the body’s protective cells, which try to eliminate pathogenic or foreign cells to the body. This slows blood flow and promotes swelling. Anti-inflammatory suppositories restore the flow of fluids in the organ and also gently promote regeneration processes. Tissues that were previously damaged begin to recover. As a rule, suppositories with an anti-inflammatory effect for prostatitis consist of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Among the most famous anti-inflammatory suppositories we can recall:

• Diclofenac;
• Vitaprost;
• ichthyol candles;
• suppositories with indomethacin;
• candles with belladonna.

Despite all the positive qualities, this list has contraindications. Thus, stomach ulcers and severe blood diseases may be a refusal to use such drugs. Also, anti-inflammatory drugs can provoke allergic rhinitis in individuals predisposed to such manifestations.

Diclofenac

Quickly relieve the inflammatory process. The reduction of swelling alone helps a man feel relief. In addition, they also have an antipyretic effect in the prostate area, but inflammation is always accompanied by an increase in temperature. Suppositories with diclofenac have a gentle effect on smooth muscles, eliminating spasms and thus relieving pain. Perhaps these are the best suppositories for prostatitis, based on the price-quality ratio. It is not surprising that patient reviews are only positive.

In practice, these suppositories may have different trade names - Voltaren, Dicloberl, Diclovit and others. Voltaren are those suppositories for prostatitis that are known to many, and reviews about them can often be heard. This was greatly facilitated by advertising, which is why Voltaren suppositories for prostatitis will cost the patient more than Diclofenac. You should not be afraid to replace Voltaren suppositories for prostatitis with the trade name of the active substance, because even their dosage is the same. The effectiveness of using suppositories of all trade names containing diclofen is the same; the only difference for the patient will be the price.

Vitaprost

This drug is based on an extract from the bovine prostate. Today it is used to relieve inflammation not only in the prostate gland, but also in the bladder, and can also be recommended for use in patients with prostate adenoma. In addition to relieving inflammation, Vitaprost’s ability to normalize the microflora of the prostate gland can be noted, that is, it is able to restore the balance of pathogenic and good bacteria in this organ. The outflow of prostate secretions is restored, and the man feels significant relief.

As in the previous case, Vitaprost has analogues. Thus, the Russian company Cytomed produces suppositories called Prostatilen, the composition of which is identical to Vitaprost. Later, Uroprost suppositories, also made from the prostate of cattle, also appeared on sale.

Therapeutic effects

What problems do Uroprost suppositories help solve? Reviews from doctors, as well as the results of clinical studies confirm that the drug has an effect on almost all organ systems. But for the prostate gland, the benefits of therapy are simply enormous. The drug "Uroprost":

• eliminates swelling of the prostate gland, thereby normalizing the functioning of the bladder and urinary canals;
• helps cope with pain and discomfort in the gland area;
• improves prostate juice synthesis processes;
• eliminates problems with delayed ejaculation;
• prevents too much stretching of the prostate sinuses;
• eliminates stagnation of secretions in the tissues of the gland;
• increases the level of lecithin grains in prostate juice;
• reduces the number of white blood cells in the secretion;
• negatively affects the cells of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby preventing the development of the inflammatory process in the prostate tissues;
• improves motility and increases the number of sperm (at the same time, the number of pathologically altered, non-viable germ cells in the sperm decreases);
• improves the tone of smooth muscles in the walls of the bladder;
• activates the work of killer cells (for example, T-lymphocytes), thereby improving local immune defense.

Indications: when should the product be used?

In what cases is it advisable to use Uroprost suppositories? The instructions indicate that there are actually many indications for therapy.

• To begin with, it is worth noting that the drug is widely used for the prostate. It is effective in both acute and chronic forms of the disease.
• As part of complex therapy, suppositories are used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (adenoma).
• The drug is also prescribed for prophylaxis before and after surgical procedures on the prostate gland.
• Suppositories help cope with functional disorders of the gland that appear as a result of aging of the body.
• Since the protein components of the drug affect the smooth muscles of the urinary tract, it is also prescribed for various urinary disorders.
• Indications also include excretory toxic infertility, in which fertilization is impossible due to low sperm quality (too small number of motile, viable sperm).
• Suppositories also help to cope with sexual disorders, in particular copulative dysfunction (in this case we are talking about a situation where a man is unable to achieve orgasm and complete sexual intercourse).

Of course, in most cases the drug is not used for monotherapy - it is effective only in combination with other drugs.

Effect of the drug

How do Uroprost suppositories work? The instructions state that this product has organotropic properties. That is, the therapeutic effects of this medicine are aimed at the prostate gland.

Taking this medication helps eliminate swelling of prostate tissue, reduce the number of lymphocytes in them, and normalize secretion production. In addition, Uroprost increases the tone of the bladder.

As for the antiaggregation properties of the drug in question, thanks to them, it is a good prophylactic agent for thrombosis of the prostate veins.

According to the instructions, the biologically active proteins that make up this medication have the following therapeutic effects

• antiaggregation;
• anti-inflammatory;
• protective (protective).

Thanks to the listed properties, Uroprost suppositories can be used for pathogenetic therapy of pathologies of the prostate, as well as functionally related internal organs (for example, the bladder).

Uroprost suppositories: instructions for use

As already mentioned, suppositories are intended for rectal administration. They are easy to use, you just need to follow some rules.

Before the procedure, it is necessary to cleanse the intestines either naturally or with an enema. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly and wash the skin around the anus. The anus area is treated with Vaseline or vegetable oil (for example, olive oil). The patient takes a horizontal position, lies on his side, and then carefully inserts the suppository into the rectum.

After administration, it is recommended to lie down for at least 30-40 minutes - during this time the suppository will have time to dissolve and penetrate the intestinal wall. Ideally, the candle should be placed before bedtime - the effect of the drug will be maximum. As a rule, patients are recommended to use one suppository per day (less often 2).

The duration of therapy largely depends on the disease being treated. If we are talking about chronic prostatitis, then treatment lasts for 10-15 days. For benign hyperplasia, at least two weeks of therapy is necessary. A repeated course is possible, but first you need to take a break of 2-4 weeks.

Adverse reactions: is therapy dangerous?

As already mentioned, during production the protein fraction is purified of unnecessary substances. However, there is always the possibility of developing allergic reactions, which are accompanied by the appearance of redness and rashes on the skin, and the development of urticaria. Some patients complain of itching in the anal area - in most cases, the discomfort goes away on its own after 1-2 days.

Do Uroprost suppositories affect the digestive organs? Sometimes diarrhea develops during therapy. Some patients complain of bloating, which is associated with increased formation and accumulation of gases in the intestines.

It is worth noting that in fact, adverse reactions develop extremely rarely. According to statistics, the probability of complications occurring during therapy does not exceed 1%. But if, after starting to use suppositories, you are bothered by discomfort and other symptoms described above, then you should stop treatment and see a doctor. It is possible that you need to find an effective substitute.

Analogues: what to replace the medicine with?

What to do if, for one reason or another, the patient is not able to use Uroprost suppositories? Analogues, of course, exist. There are many drugs that are used during inflammation and/or prostatic hyperplasia.

If we talk about synonyms, then very effective are drugs such as “Vitaprost” and “Vitaprost Forte”, which are available both in the form of tablets and in the form of suppositories. Such drugs as Samprost, Prostatilen, and Raveron are used in medical practice. All of these products contain an extract obtained from the prostate gland of animals.

As for analogues, the tablets “Prostanorm”, “Renel”, “Tentex”, “Prostagerb” are rightfully considered popular. For problems with the reproductive system, “Sperman” and “Tentex” tablets are also used. These drugs have a different composition, but (like Uroprost) they help cope with various diseases of the prostate gland.

Of course, you should never use medications without permission. Only a doctor can choose an effective and safe substitute. Remember that sometimes a complex of several of the above-described drugs is used to treat the prostate.

The drug Prostatilen for prostatitis and other male problems

A healthy prostate is the key to male strength. It is important to monitor her condition and treat her at the first signs of illness. The most common disease among the male half of the population is prostatitis. It is accompanied by pain in the groin, in the scrotum area and discomfort during urination. Comprehensive treatment, including massage, antibiotics and medications that contain only natural ingredients and additives, will help cope with this disease. The most effective medicine with natural raw materials is prostatilen.

Prostatilen in the treatment of prostatitis

Prostatilen is a drug that consists of animal components intended to combat prostate diseases. It actively treats inflammation and tumors in the initial stages, fights the acute form of prostatitis and prevents the onset of the chronic form of the disease.

Prostatilen is an effective drug for the treatment of prostatitis!

Prostatilen contains peptides that have a direct effect on the prostate. They help relieve swelling of the gland, relieve stagnation of secret fluid in the ducts and reduce the number of leukocytes in the secretion juice. An important component of the drug is glycine. Along with the tissues of large horned animals, of which the medicine is mostly composed, the proteinogenic amino acid is actively involved in the processes of restoration and renewal of prostate cells, improves the production of hormones, and also improves immunity. Microelements of zinc prevent the appearance of benign and malignant tumors. They also preserve the activity of sperm and their integrity, and promote the production of rare cells of the immune system.

Prostatilen is prescribed in several cases:

1. For chronic prostatitis;
2. For acute prostatitis;
3. With abacterial prostatitis;
4. When detecting benign formations in the prostate;
5. In the preoperative period;
6. In the postoperative period.

Unfortunately, the drug also has contraindications - high sensitivity to the components, which causes an allergic rash on the body. In this case, it is necessary to note the intake of prostatilen.

Different forms of medicine

Prostatilen in the treatment of prostatitis can be prescribed in different forms of release of this medicine. It should be remembered that this drug is available in only two consistencies: ampoules and suppositories. Tablets are produced only by analogues of the drug.

Only Prostatilen analogues are produced in tablet form!

Prostatilen in ampoules is prescribed if the patient has diseases of the rectum and cannot use suppositories, and when the patient has undergone complex surgery on the pelvic organs or prostate. It is also prescribed to older people who need the overall effect of the drug. There are two types of packaging: with 5 ampoules of 5 grams and with 10 ampoules of 5 grams. Prostatilen injections are prescribed when it is necessary to improve the immune system and anti-inflammatory effect.

Prostatilen suppositories are prescribed when it is necessary to relieve swelling, pain during urination, prevent the formation of congestion and blood clots, and also to increase sperm efficiency. Indications for use:

• Chronic form of prostatitis;
• Acute prostatitis;
• Infertility;
• Benign prostate tumor;
• After surgery (bladder or prostate surgery)
• Adenoma.

Thanks to the animal components in the composition of zinc suppositories, pain is reduced, the urination process is restored, arousal and erection are increased, blood circulation in the prostate is improved, the number of leukocytes and the quality of sperm are reduced.

Prostatilen suppositories for prostatitis are available in two variations - 5 or 10 suppositories per package with a dosage of 30 and 50 milligrams.

Prostatilen - instructions for use

The creators of the drug have extensive experience in the fight against prostatitis.
For more than 20 years, universal instructions have been created for different forms of prostatilen aimed at combating various prostate diseases. The developers of the drug have extensive experience in the fight against prostatitis!

Instructions for use of prostatilen suppositories

Prostatilen suppositories for prostatitis are prescribed for acute forms of the disease. The course of treatment lasts from a week to 10 days, depending on the characteristics of the body. The candle must be opened and dipped in water. After this, insert it as deep as possible into the anal passage. In order for it to have an effect on the prostate gland, you should do an enema or cleanse the rectum in another way. At the initial stage of acute prostatitis, one 30-milligram suppository should be administered twice a day. In advanced cases, increase the dose to 50 mg, use 2 times a day.

For chronic prostatitis - 1 suppository per day. The course of treatment is 10 days. In the case of bacterial prostatitis, complex treatment is prescribed: suppositories must be administered 2 times a day, and immunomodulators must be used for 5 days.

A grade 1 benign tumor is treated with a 10-day course - 1 suppository per day. Stage 2 tumor implies an increase in dose: suppositories are administered twice a day for 10 days.

During surgery, a suppository is prescribed only after prostatilen injections. The course of application is 10 days.

For prevention, suppositories are used twice a year. This course lasts a week and involves using candles once a day.

How much do suppositories cost?

In modern medicine, Uroprost suppositories are often used. Instructions, pharmacological properties, contraindications - important information. But many patients also pay attention to the price of a particular medicine.

It’s worth saying right away that the drug is produced by a domestic manufacturer, so the difference in price depends only on the financial policy of the pharmacy and the distribution company. The cost of a package of 10 suppositories ranges from 450 to 650 rubles. It is worth noting that sometimes one package is not enough to complete the full course of therapy.

Reviews from patients and doctors

What do patients who have already undergone treatment with Uroprost suppositories say? Reviews from men are predominantly positive. After just a few days, the symptoms of prostatitis weaken, which is associated with the disappearance of swelling of the organ. The frequency of the urge to urinate decreases, and sexual problems disappear. The treatment is easily tolerated, only occasionally the administration of suppositories is accompanied by itching in the anus, which, however, quickly disappears.

Doctors also speak positively about this drug. A huge advantage is the absence of contraindications. Cases of side effects are also rarely reported. The medicine helps maintain the functioning of the prostate gland at a normal level. By the way, the price of the drug is also very affordable. Of course, for the treatment of adenoma or prostatitis, suppositories are used in combination with other drugs. That is why you should not use them without permission or hesitate to consult a doctor - only a doctor will be able to draw up a truly effective treatment regimen.

Indications and contraindications for use

Uroprost suppositories are intended for the treatment and prevention of pathologies in the prostate gland, including those that can arise in the postoperative period. The drug is prescribed in the following cases:

• acute and chronic prostatitis, including calculous;
• prostate adenoma;
• preparation for prostate surgery.

After surgical intervention on the prostate, connective tissue may grow in the organ or blood microcirculation may be disrupted. Prescribing a course of Uroprost suppositories allows you to prevent these problems.

The only contraindication to the use of suppositories is individual intolerance to the components.
