The active components included in the drug have a beneficial effect on the entire male body. Well, if for some reason a man is not able to use the indicated medications to treat the disease, then Vitaprost can be replaced with analogues that have a similar effect. In this article we will take a closer look at similar medicinal specimens, as well as the features of their use. However, before proceeding with Vitaprost analogues, you should consider the features of the drug.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

The drug has an organotropic effect and is active against the prostate gland. Reduces the degree of edema, infiltration of prostate leukocytes, normalizes the secretory function of epithelial cells, increases the number of lecithin grains in the acini secretion, and increases the muscle tone of the bladder walls. Reduces thrombus formation, enhances microcirculation in the tissues of the prostate gland, has antiplatelet activity, and inhibits the appearance of venule thrombosis in the prostate.

Research results show that these suppositories for prostatitis moderately reduce the volume of prostate tissue, the severity of irritative symptoms and obstruction in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The use of this drug reduces the likelihood of exacerbation of chronic prostatitis and does not change blood and urine test results.

The drug normalizes the characteristics of the ejaculate and prostate gland. Reduces the severity of pain and discomfort caused by chronic prostatitis , eliminates dysuria , and stimulates copulative function.

Pharmacokinetics

There is no data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug.

"Prostamol Uno"

There is still debate as to which medication is better: Vitaprost or Prostamol Uno? Many experts believe that both drugs are worthy in the fight against prostate diseases. Other than that, there are very few differences between them. Prostamol Uno contains herbal substances that help quickly cope with the signs of prostate adenoma.

Most patients prefer to use those medications that are produced by domestic manufacturers, because their cost is an order of magnitude lower than that of imported ones.

Instructions for use of Vitaprost (Method and dosage)

The instructions for the tablets require taking them orally, one twice a day. The duration of therapy for benign prostate hyperplasia is at least a month; for chronic inflammation of the prostate gland - at least two weeks.

To prevent exacerbations of chronic inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis), 1 tablet is prescribed twice a day for a period of 30 days. It is necessary to carry out 1-2 such courses of treatment per year.

Vitaprost suppositories instructions for use allow the use of one suppository once a day after bowel movements or an enema. After inserting the suppository, the patient is recommended to remain in a horizontal position for up to 40 minutes.

The duration of treatment with suppositories should not be less than 10 days.

Indications for use

Experts prescribe Uroprost to their patients if they have the following diagnoses:

1. Prostatitis in a chronic form of abacterial type.
2. Complications arising after surgery.
3. Organ hyperplasia.

Under no circumstances should Uroprost be used for treatment by men who are prone to an allergic reaction to the components that make up the medicine. As for the effectiveness of Vitaprost and Uroprost, studies have shown that these medications are interchangeable. The main difference is the cost. Uroprost suppositories can be purchased at a pharmacy for about 850 rubles.

special instructions

The drug can be recommended as a component of polytherapy for chronic prostatitis in people of all ages (including when combined with benign prostatic hyperplasia ) and for the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered acute prostatitis .

Therapy for chronic prostatitis and pre- and postoperative preparation for interventions on the prostate should be comprehensive and, along with the use of tablets with prostate extract, include other groups of pharmaceuticals and non-drug therapies.

Studies of the effect of the drug on spermatogenesis in patients with infertility arising from chronic inflammation of the prostate gland made it possible to document the positive effect of this drug on this process. Suppositories can be recommended for patients with secretory-toxic infertility that appears against the background of chronic prostatitis .

Indications for use

In addition, “Prostatilen” is also available in powder form. The main component of the described medication is prostatilen. The medicine is recommended for use by those men who have the following problems:

1. Chronic prostatitis.
2. Benign hyperplasia.
3. Complications after surgery on the genitourinary system.
4. Interoceptive dysfunction.

Quite often, this analogue is used by those men who want to prevent the development of a disease such as prostatitis, which is associated with age-related changes in the prostate gland. However, experts do not advise taking this remedy to those patients who have hypersensitivity to the components that make up the medicine. Also, taking Prostatilen is contraindicated for persons under 18 years of age.

In general, it is difficult to answer the question of which drug will be the best in the fight against prostatitis, as well as other diseases of the prostate gland. The reason for this is the absolutely identical effect of the drugs, as well as a similar composition. As for the cost, the analogue of Vitaprost Forte is cheaper.
