It is known that alcohol-containing drinks, even beer, can reduce the effect of certain drugs. Therefore, if a man wants to get rid of problems with the prostate gland as soon as possible, it is best not to drink alcohol at all during the use of Prostacor.

palm Sabal finely sawed. According to many reviews, the tool “Prostamol UNO” helps to prevent diseases of the gland, as well as cope with the disease in the initial stages of its manifestation. However, it does not eliminate
prostatic hyperplasia, also known as prostate adenoma.

Prostacor, a medical treatment for prostatitis: reviews of doctors
According to experts, the medicine Prostakor really helps to relieve inflammation after just a few injections. Many male doctors who have undergone treatment themselves advise it to their patients. Nevertheless, when diagnosing a patient with prostate adenoma “Prostacor” (reviews of which are positive in the treatment of prostatitis), it does not help. You should know the difference between the diagnoses of “prostate adenoma” and “prostatitis”. Many people think that this is one and the same thing. In fact, this is not so. The first disease is a benign tumor of the prostate gland, it is located inside the prostate and does not go beyond it. It does not give metastases and does not apply to other organs. Her treatment is symptomatic, as well as medication, aimed at stopping the growth of the tumor. In the most advanced cases, surgery is needed. And prostatitis is an
inflammation of the prostate gland, often it occurs against a background of sexually transmitted diseases, bacterial infections, in violation of blood circulation and outflow of prostate secretion. Therefore, the drug “Prostacor”, reviews of urologists about which we examined above, will help relieve inflammation, that is, it will cure prostatitis, but will not stop the growth of the tumor, that is, it will not be effective in the treatment of prostate adenoma.
What patients themselves say about the drug
Patients note that with abnormalities in the functioning of the prostate gland, the drug really helps. Namely, it quickly removes inflammation and associated pain. Its cost is comparable to the price of other similar drugs. Its natural composition, as well as a short course of treatment, is noted. These are the positive characteristics of the patients received the drug. Although there are those to whom he did not fit. Read more about negative opinions.
Why some drug is not suitable
However, the Prostakor remedy is not able to help everyone, it only gives temporary relief to some. Also, many prefer rectal suppositories, tablets or capsules to injections. That is, complaints are received about the form of release, especially since not everyone has the opportunity to give injections at home. After all, the drug “Prostacor”, reviews of patients about which for the most part can be called positive, is available only in the form of ampoules for injection. Moreover, the dry matter contained in them must be diluted. But the main thing is that after the first injections the inflammation begins to decrease, the discomfort disappears - the patient begins to feel much better. However, this does not mean that the course of treatment can be discontinued. Doctors recommend making all the prescribed injections, as well as come for re-examination some time after the course of injections.
So, in our article we talked about the drug "Prostakor" in ampoules. Reviews about him from doctors and patients, recommendations for use are also given in the text. Perhaps this will help you decide on the choice of a medicine for the treatment of prostatitis. But, one way or another, the final selection of the drug should be done by the doctor.
