The drug Vitaprost is intended for the treatment of various pathologies of the prostate gland. Due to its organic composition, this medicine can be used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. It can be used alone or in combination with other drugs.

Treatment of prostatitis

Many patients are embarrassed to see a doctor, especially if they are concerned about sensitive problems. Suspecting they have prostatitis, some men begin to self-medicate. Doing this is dangerous. For example, manifestations of osteochondrosis and even cystitis can be confused with prostatitis. Incorrect treatment can lead to serious complications. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after studying all the necessary tests. The following diagnostic methods help identify inflammation:

General urine analysis.
Physical examination.
Determination of PSA level.
Transrectal ultrasound examination.
Study of ejaculate.
Bacteriological and cytological analysis of urine.
Analysis of prostate secretions.
Urodynamic examination.
Cystoscopy.

The doctor decides which of the listed diagnostic methods are necessary for a particular patient. The list can be significantly reduced or, conversely, expanded. The main thing is that the urologist can prescribe treatment after confirming the diagnosis. If the patient does not neglect the advice of his attending physician, he can expect a full recovery.

Treatment methods are quite varied. They depend on the type and extent of the disease, its duration and whether there are complications. In most cases, drug therapy is prescribed, which can be completed in a hospital or at home. The urologist prescribes medications, calculates the dosage and regimen. For the treatment of prostatitis, dosage forms in the form of suppositories are preferable to tablets.

Reviews

In general, most men who took Vitaprost tablets are satisfied with its results and effectiveness.
It was noticed that just a couple of days after starting to take the drug, pain and discomfort went away.

If you adhere to the doctor’s prescriptions, then prostatitis does not return in the future, and repeated inflammations are not observed.

Many note an improvement in the quality of sexual function. It is important that the risk of side effects is minimal.

The only negative factor is that it is undesirable to be in the sun when using the drug. This may lead to the appearance of blisters on the skin, burns, changes in well-being in the form of confusion, hand tremors, and nervous agitation.

Properties of Vitaprost suppositories

The drug Vitaprost is used to treat prostatitis. This is a domestic product created exclusively from natural raw materials. It is successfully used to treat congestive, acute, chronic and bacterial prostatitis, as well as to prevent pathology.

Vitaprost is often prescribed in the complex treatment of the following diseases:

haemorrhoids;
cystitis;
chlamydia;
colitis;
epididymitis;
adenoma;
ureaplasma;
vesiculitis.

The drug is effective even for the treatment of infertility. It has a positive effect on male reproductive cells, improves spermatogenesis and ejaculate quality.

The medicine has several forms. This allows the doctor to choose the best option for each patient. The domestic pharmaceutical industry produces the following types of drugs:

Vitaprost tablets.
Vitaprost rectal suppositories.
Vitaprost Plus rectal suppositories.
rectal suppositories Vitaprost Forte.

Benefits of suppositories

The most popular are tablet forms. They are easy to use. The patient can carry the medicine with him and take the tablet anywhere and anytime. Unfortunately, once in the stomach, the drug loses some of its effectiveness due to the action of enzymes and hydrochloric acid. In addition, tablet forms begin to act no earlier than 20 minutes after administration. And the medicine itself can have a negative effect on the liver.

The bioavailability of the drug, which is administered through the rectum, is only slightly inferior to the method of administration through a vein. Due to the peculiarities of the blood supply, rectal suppositories are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. They begin to act almost immediately after administration. Medicinal substances reach the diseased organ not only through the circulatory system, but also through the lymphatic system.

Treatment of prostatitis with rectal suppositories is preferable to tablets. In this case, all the active substances contained in the drug go directly to the site of inflammation. Therefore, we can say with confidence that Vitaprost suppositories are better than tablets. This dosage form is delivered in full directly to the site of inflammation.

Release form and expiration date

Vitaprost suppositories for prostatitis are produced in a dosage of 10 mg or 50 mg. They are packaged in cellular polyvinyl chloride blisters of five pieces. The cardboard box may contain one or two such blisters, as well as instructions for use.

The shelf life of candles is two years from the date of their manufacture. The storage temperature of the medication should not exceed +20 °C. Vitaprost suppositories should be kept in a place reliably protected from children.

The drug is sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription. Produced in Russia, .

Compound

Pharmacies offer a huge selection of different drugs for the treatment of prostatitis. The drug Vitaprost especially stands out from its competitors. It consists of natural components that are easily absorbed by the body and quickly eliminated without causing harm to the liver and gastrointestinal tract.

Vitaprost suppositories include:

50 mg prostate extract. In Vitaprost Plus and Forte, this dose is doubled. This substance is obtained from the prostate gland of bulls that have reached sexual maturity. It was first identified in the mid-80s. Since 1992, it has been recommended for clinical use for the complex treatment of reproductive disorders and erectile dysfunction in young men.
Lomefloxacin is a bactericidal agent. Only Vitaprost Plus is included in the composition, so this dosage form is most often prescribed for bacterial prostatitis;
hard fat.

Indications and contraindications

Recent studies have proven that the main reason for inflammation of the prostate gland is stagnation of blood in the vessels of the pelvic organs. Most often, circulation in the capillary bed deteriorates due to venous thrombosis. Infectious lesions are considered secondary in the therapeutic algorithm.

The doctor’s primary task is to normalize blood microcirculation in the affected organ. Organotropic (selective) drugs such as Vitaprost, which affects exclusively the prostate gland, can solve this problem:

reduces discomfort and pain.
reduces swelling.
normalizes the muscle tone of the bladder.
helps to increase the number of lecithin grains in the acini secretion.
reduces the likelihood of thrombosis.
normalizes secretory function in epithelial cells.
eliminates urinary disorders.
regulates copulatory function.
normalizes ejaculate production.
has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
increases bladder capacity.
normalizes the size of the prostate gland.

The use of the drug allows you to restore the bactericidal properties of prostate secretions, which protect the organ from microorganisms. This is especially important, since prostatitis often occurs due to infection. In the instructions for use of Vitaprost suppositories, the drug is recommended for use in the following cases:

chronic prostatitis.
benign prostatic hyperplasia.
preoperative and postoperative treatment of the prostate gland.
bacterial prostatitis.
can be prescribed to women with overactive bladder.
to prevent inflammation.

Vitaprost Plus suppositories, thanks to the antibiotic included in the composition, are prescribed for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, citrobacteriosis, gonorrhea and Proteus infection.

Contraindications for the use of the drug depend on its type, so you cannot independently change the drug prescribed by your doctor. The most common contraindication, which is characteristic of the entire Vitaprost line of drugs, is hypersensitivity to its components. In addition, the medicine is not used to treat patients under 18 years of age, as well as patients with cerebral atherosclerosis, epilepsy and other diseases of the central nervous system.

Effect on the body

Before use, you should consult a specialist and carefully read the instructions . The effect of the drug is based on the fact that peptides isolated from the prostate of a young bull are integrated into human cells, providing a regenerative effect and normalizing secretion.

The active substance quickly improves blood supply - it resists the “gluing” of red blood cells, relieves the inflammatory process, as a result, swelling goes away, and the size of the gland decreases to normal. The walls of the bladder become toned - urination is restored, frequent urges stop, and the sensation of a foreign body disappears. A rapid pain-relieving effect is observed. The channel capacity increases, the quality of secretion and ejaculate improves.

Side effects

Side effects are extremely rare. Sometimes they can be observed in patients who use drugs where the dose of the active substance is doubled - Vitaprost Plus or Forte. In these cases, you may experience:

drop in blood pressure, myocardiopathy or arrhythmia;
anxiety, dizziness, asthenia;
bronchospasm, shortness of breath;
dysbacteriosis or colitis;
increased sensitivity to sunlight, itching, urticaria;
bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, inflammation of the lymph nodes.

An overdose of the drug can lead to the development of hallucinations, seizures and psychosis.

Dosage and Application

The attending physician determines the dose of the drug that is necessary for the patient’s recovery. For the prevention and treatment of chronic prostatitis, and preparation for surgical interventions, Vitaprost suppositories are most often prescribed. Their price is much lower than the cost of Plus and Forte.

If it is necessary to increase the dose of the active substance, the doctor may prescribe Vitaprost Forte. If the patient suffers from a bacterial form of prostatitis, it is advisable to use Vitaprost Plus.

The drug is taken according to the regimen prescribed by the doctor. Most often, Vitaprost suppositories, regardless of the type, are used one per day (at night). Before using the suppository, you must empty your bowels yourself or do an enema.

Before inserting the suppository, hands should be washed with cold water. They should be clean, dry and cool. Otherwise, in warm hands the candle will begin to melt quickly and it will be difficult to insert.

The drug can be administered in the knee-elbow position or lying on your side, with your knees pressed to your stomach. After administering the drug, you should stay in bed for at least 40 minutes. The duration of the course can be from 10 to 20 days. Vitaprost suppositories should be stored in the refrigerator.

Reception mode

Take two tablets daily, no matter before or after meals. For prostate hyperplasia, the course will be at least a month, for chronic inflammation of the gland - from 10 days. During remissions of chronic prostatitis (to prevent exacerbations), Vitaprost is taken 2 tablets daily for a month, then take a break. 1-2 courses per year are enough.

Rectal suppositories "Vitaprost Plus" are administered once a day. The intestines must first be cleansed naturally or forcibly. After treatment, it is advisable to lie down for about half an hour. The course is at least 10 days.

Vitaprost suppositories (without antibiotics) are used for chronic prostatitis in a course of 10 days, for hyperplasia - from 15 days, to eliminate the symptoms of an overactive bladder (frequent urination, incontinence due to irritation) - from 20 days.

Alcohol compatibility

The interaction of Vitaprost with other drugs has not been studied. The instructions for the drug do not contain any prohibitions regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages during treatment with suppositories. Accordingly, alcohol does not interact with the components of the drug and cannot lead to negative consequences.

However, one should take into account the fact that the body is weakened by the fight against the disease. Toxic substances contained in alcoholic beverages poison a person. Instead of mobilizing all its strength to fight the disease, the body will spend it on getting rid of toxins. Therefore, anyone who wants to overcome the disease as quickly as possible should, at least for the duration of treatment, stop drinking alcoholic beverages.

Interaction with other drugs

Sometimes Vitaprost tablets are prescribed along with suppositories. This allows you to increase the effectiveness of the drug and carry out treatment in the shortest possible time.

In this case, the likelihood of side effects is much greater. It is extremely important to inform your doctor if you are taking other prostate medications to avoid worsening treatment results.

If you take medications related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time as Vitaprost, bleeding is possible. This should definitely be kept in mind when using a combination of these medications.

Price and analogues

The most affordable in the line of drugs are the usual Vitaprost suppositories. The cost of the medicine varies significantly depending on the pharmacy and region. On average, this drug can be purchased for 950 rubles.

The price of Vitaprost Forte suppositories is higher, since they contain a large dose of the active substance. For a package consisting of 10 suppositories of 1.25 g each you will have to pay 1215 rubles. The difference in price does not seem so significant considering the fact that Vitaprost Forte contains 100 mg of prostate extract, while regular Vitaprost contains only 50 mg.

The price of Vitaprost Plus candles is the highest among the entire line. To purchase the medicine you will need at least 1600 rubles. This drug is distinguished not only by a double dose of prostate extract in its composition, but also by the presence of an antibiotic. The choice of the required dosage is made by the doctor.

If for some reason Vitaprost cannot be used, the doctor can replace it with an analogue - Prostatilen . It carefully restores the structure of the prostate gland, has a regenerating and anti-inflammatory effect on it, relieves swelling and strengthens blood vessels. Prostatilen suppositories contain prostate extract in a dosage of 30 or 50 mg. The drug can be purchased for 560 rubles. The package contains only five doses, so a course of treatment with Prostatilen will be equal in cost to a course of Vitaprost.

For patients who cannot tolerate Vitaprost and Prostatilen due to their composition of animal origin, the doctor may prescribe other drugs:

Prostatinol. The drug is not a medicine. Prostatinol is a dietary supplement. It contains extracts of pumpkin seeds, ginseng, red pepper, and sabal palm fruits. These substances reduce swelling and normalize the size of the prostate, fight inflammation, improve the functioning of the genitourinary system, stimulate sperm production and prevent premature ejaculation. In addition, the composition includes amino acids that promote the production of testosterone and vitamins that strengthen the body as a whole. Despite the fact that the drug is a dietary supplement, its use is effective as a prostatitis prophylaxis and for its treatment in combination with medications.
Prostopin. The drug belongs to the group of herbal prostatoprotectors. It contains components obtained from natural honey, bee bread, royal jelly and propolis, as well as cocoa butter and beeswax. Prostopin has anti-inflammatory and anti-ischemic properties. Suppresses the effect of estrogens and androgens, fights prostate hyperplasia. Has antibacterial and anticancer activity. Used to treat chronic prostatitis and anal fissures. The cost of the drug is 500 rubles. The package consists of 15 rectal suppositories.
Afala. The drug is available in tablets. Contains purified anti-PSA antibodies. The product effectively fights acute and chronic prostatitis, as well as benign hyperplasia of the first and second degrees. The cost of the medicine is 360 rubles.

Vitaprost tablets and suppositories: instructions for use, price, reviews from men

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...

Basic information about the drug

The composition of the drug Vitaprost is unique. The fact is that it is made from a complex of peptides of animal origin. In other words, it is a prostate extract taken from cattle. Biologically active peptides regulate the functioning of the male prostate gland. There are two dosage forms:

Vitaprost suppositories;
Vitaprost tablets.

Peptides, or rather cytomedins, act in both dosage forms at the highest level, acting on the prostate at a biological level and helping it fight aging or wear, as well as infections and bacteria introduced from the outside. What can you expect from using the drug?

Its main functions are adjusted and debugged;
Stagnation of the secretion that dilutes sperm is eliminated;
Improves blood microcirculation in the genitals;
Swelling in the prostate itself is relieved;
The normal tone of the muscle tissue around the bladder is restored.

What does the medicine look like? Let us describe both pharmacological varieties.

Vitaprost tablets

Convex on both sides, weighing 100 mg, coated, easily soluble in the intestines. Color – blue or light blue. Neutral substances such as lactose, stearate, cellulose and sucrose are used to give the tablet shape. Tablets are packed in blisters of 10 pcs.

Vitaprost suppositories (suppositories)

Encapsulated bovine prostate extract weighs 50 mg. The color of the torpedo-shaped capsules is white or yellowish. One blister contains 5 capsules. An auxiliary (neutral) agent is fat.

Vitaprost: contraindications and indications for use

Any medicine is used for a specific purpose, and Vitaprost is no exception.

Firstly, the tablets enter the bloodstream within an hour after taking;
Secondly, the drug acts locally;
Thirdly, peptides of animal origin do not injure the stomach or intestines, unlike synthetically manufactured drugs.

Vitaprost tablets prevent platelets from sticking together in the blood, which helps avoid blockage of small blood vessels in the genitals. The bladder is also affected by animal peptides, and patients very quickly feel:

Improving its functioning;
The feeling of discomfort in the perineum disappears;
There are no difficulties with natural urination;
The function of complete emptying of the bladder is restored;
Frequent trips to the toilet and the urge to urinate are eliminated.

In cases where the patient undergoes a whole course of taking pills, there is an improvement in the quality of sperm and restoration of erectile function in full. So, what indications for use do urologists consider correct?

If the patient has chronic inflammation of the prostate gland that is not of bacterial etiology;
When benign tumors are found in the prostate gland;
If the patient has undergone urological surgery;
When the patient complains of the following symptoms at the first examination:

Pain in the groin, worse when urinating;
Difficulty emptying the bladder;
Pain during sex and urination;
Feeling of heaviness in the groin area.

It does not matter whether rectal suppositories (local local action) or tablets are used in therapy, you must pay attention to the contraindications specified in the instructions for the drug. The urologist will not prescribe this medicine if he finds:

Malignant neoplasms in the prostate gland, as well as metastases;
That the patient has an individual intolerance to peptides of animal origin;
That the patient is under 18 years of age and the process of developing a personal hormonal system has not yet been completed;
That the patient has been diagnosed with severe pathologies in the liver.

Naturally, the drug is not at all suitable for children and women.

Instructions for use

The course of treatment is determined by the doctor, having previously found out the cause of pain, sharpness or severity. We will outline general instructions, but you should not engage in self-appointment. It is better to trust a specialist who will help you not to exceed the dosage.

Tablet form Vitaprost

The usual dose for an adult patient is 2 tablets per day. You should not rely on food intake, but do not forget to take the drug with plenty of regular distilled water. If prostatitis occurs in acute form, you need to take the pills for at least 10 days. For chronic sluggish prostatitis, the dose is the same, but the course of treatment is at least 301 days. Preventative measures will help avoid exacerbations and improve the patient’s overall well-being.

Rectal suppositories: instructions

Today there are three types of candles:

Vitaprost suppositories (50 mg);
“Vitaprost – forte” (100 mg);
"Vitaprost plus" (400 mg).

As you can see, the main difference is in the amount of contents of rectal capsules. The suppository is inserted directly into the rectum. The capsules work with some differences:

In the first case (regular Vitaprost) – improves blood circulation, eliminates internal congestion, facilitates urination and relieves inflammation;
The action of Vitaprost-Forte is aimed at gluing platelets. The drug relieves swelling that appears as a result of pathological damage to the prostate gland. Removes the sensation of the presence of a foreign body inside the patient’s body;
"Vitaprost Plus" is an improved version of the drug. In addition to the natural ingredient, it contains a broad-spectrum antibiotic - lomefloxacin. Due to its presence, an antimicrobial effect is ensured, as well as an antiseptic effect.

In principle, any type of suppository is inserted into the anus once a day, after which the patient is expected to remain immobile for the next 40 minutes.

What is better in each individual case, Vitaprost suppositories or tablet form, is decided only by a urologist.

Vitaprost: side effects

In fact, a “side effect” was recorded when using Vitaprost Plus suppositories, which is explained by the presence of an antibiotic in them. Feedback from doctors on this matter is ambiguous, since it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. What are the side effects when using the drug?

A rash appears on the skin (urticaria);
Itching is felt, and sometimes swelling of the epidermis appears;
Dysbacteriosis and disturbances in bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation);
Irritability, anxiety, hysteria.

If the patient decides to independently increase the dose of the drug taken, then the following may occur:

Nausea and diarrhea;
Pain in the abdomen or legs, as well as in the groin area;
Increased irritability to light;
Tremor, or uncontrollable shaking of the limbs;
Cramps.

You should not combine the drug with other medications, as there is a risk of an unexpected reaction from the body. For example:

Anticoagulants together with Vitaprost can provoke internal bleeding;
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can give more intense side effects;
Antibiotics can interfere with each other's work, causing drug intoxication in the body.

Vitaprost and alcohol are a completely acceptable combination, but it is worth considering that the absorption process will take longer and the effect of the drug will be weakened. There are also analogues of Vitaprost, but they all belong to the non-medicinal group of medicinal products. Some of them are cheaper, however, their quality can be questioned. If a man has developed the habit of not skimping on his own health and virility, then in fact, there is no better remedy than Vitaprost.
