What is Phytolysin used for?

Phytoncides, alkaloids, saponins, minerals and other active substances provide the medicinal properties of the drug. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, astringent and diuretic effect, reduces pain, physical discomfort and other symptoms of cystitis. As a result of using Phytolysin:

• excess sodium and chlorine are eliminated from the body;
• glomerular filtration is activated;
• the proliferation of pathogens in the urinary tract is blocked;
• uric acid levels decrease;
• the effect of ascorbic acid and antioxidants is prolonged;
• the removal of sand and small stones from the kidneys is accelerated, and another attack of urolithiasis is prevented.

The drug helps restore well-being in acute and chronic inflammation. Including:

• urethritis, cystitis;
• pyelitis;
• deposition of urinary stones;
• dysfunction of the kidneys and urinary tract due to surgical operations.

There is a therapeutic effect of diuretic paste for oxalate kidney stones: their loosening and removal of sludge naturally with regular use of the medicine.

Pharmacological effect

Plants in Phytolysin have diuretic, anti-inflammatory, astringent, antimicrobial and regenerating properties. In combination, they have a comprehensive healing and restorative effect, and essential oils enhance their effect.

After oral administration, active substances:

• inhibit reverse resorption in the kidney tubules, increase filtration in the glomeruli;
• disinfect the urinary tract;
• help increase urine volume;
• stimulate the leaching of sand and small stones from the kidneys and bladder;
• slow down the metabolization of vitamin C, the production of oxalic acid, and improve the excretion of uric acid;
• slow down the loss of mineral sediment in the urine, stop the progression of urolithiasis;
• eliminate pain, spasms and physical discomfort caused by urological disorders.

Phytolysin copes well with staphylococci and other gram-positive pathogens. The diuretic effect that the drug has is not accompanied by a decrease in the level of electrolytes in the body.

How to take Phytolysin correctly

For inflammation of the bladder, kidneys, urolithiasis and for the prevention of recurrent attacks, Phytolysin should be taken orally as a mixture:

• squeeze out about 1 tsp. funds in a glass;
• dilute with a small amount of water and drink;
• repeat taking the drug up to 4 times a day 1 hour after meals.

To soften the harsh taste of the medicine, you can add a little sugar, sweetener or honey to it.

Indications

Phytolysin can be used as a symptomatic, complementary to complex therapy, medicine, independent treatment, to prevent the recurrent course of the disease, the development of acute inflammation or its chronicity.

The drug is prescribed:

• for cystitis, urethritis;
• inflammation of the kidneys and urinary tract, including: chronic calculous pyelonephritis;
• for loosening large stones, removing sludge from urolithiasis;
• with insufficient diuresis;
• for disorders of uric acid metabolism;
• for the prevention of inflammatory processes, re-formation of sand, deposition of oxalate stones after surgical treatment.

Side effects of Phytolysin

In the absence of contraindications, the natural diuretic is well tolerated. Increased urination after taking the drug is normal. Occasionally, negative symptoms develop during treatment:

• decreased appetite;
• bitter taste in the mouth;
• nausea, vomiting, heaviness in the stomach;
• dizziness;
• decrease in blood pressure.

In the first few days, such manifestations are not a reason to discontinue the drug. If your health deteriorates further, you need to postpone therapy and consult a doctor.

Symptoms of “alcoholic” cystitis

Taking small doses of alcohol can become a trigger for the onset of an acute condition with chronic cystitis, even if stable remission has previously been achieved. A glass of champagne or a glass of cognac can result in a week-long sick leave, taking antibiotics and restrictions in work, rest and sports.

Things are even worse for people who regularly drink alcohol. Both men and women can develop alcoholic cystitis. Its symptoms are similar to the usual one, but have some features:

• sharp pain during urination;
• aching pain in the groin;
• a sharp increase in the number of urges to go to the toilet;
• the appearance of night urination;
• itching on the mucous membrane of the genital organs in women, redness and swelling due to the thinning composition of urine;
• pain during sexual intercourse [3].

When Phytolysin is contraindicated

The components of the natural drug have a gentle effect on the body, but in some cases they can cause harm. Conditions under which Phytolysin must be discontinued:

• glomerulonephritis: a pathology in which glomerular tissue atrophies and kidney failure develops;
• hepatitis: all substances are metabolized in the liver, inflammation of its cells provokes the accumulation of toxins in the body;
• cholelithiasis: plants in the composition of Phytolysin promote active contraction of the walls of the bile ducts, this can lead to damage to the walls by stones or stone getting stuck;
• heart failure: the removal of electrolytes negatively affects the functioning of the myocardium and can provoke another dangerous attack;
• Gluten intolerance: wheat protein is contained in small quantities in the medicine;
• epilepsy: some compounds in the drug negatively affect the state of the central nervous system in this disease;
• phosphate kidney stones: the diuretic effect of the paste can cause severe colic or lead to stones getting stuck;
• individual hypersensitivity: the appearance of allergic itching, swelling or rash after taking a diuretic.

How does alcohol provoke cystitis?

Beer and other alcoholic drinks containing ethanol are broken down in the liver into substances that cause negative changes in the body. They pass through the kidney filter and are excreted from the body. This entire post-alcohol “cocktail” is concentrated in urine, which actively affects the walls of the bladder, causing increased production of prostaglandins. The mucous membrane becomes more vulnerable to bacteria and infections, which creates the preconditions for the onset of an illness or for an exacerbation of an already begun disease.

General alcohol intoxication requires additional efforts from the body to cleanse the liver, blood, cells and intercellular space. There may be a decrease in general immunity. Both of these factors contribute to the fact that foreign elements multiply in quantities sufficient to cause cystitis.

And it doesn’t matter at all what price category the strong drink belongs to: wine, champagne, expensive cognac can become the same provocateurs of negative changes in the bladder as inexpensive beer. Carbonated alcoholic drinks aggravate their pathological effects by the presence of carbon dioxide bubbles. Drinking alcohol during cystitis means deliberately not giving your body a chance to fully restore and heal damaged areas of the bladder.
