In the article, we will consider the instructions and reviews for the Prostatilen drug.
It is a drug with a regenerative and anti-inflammatory effect on the modified prostate gland. Due to the relationship of the proteins of the drug with the cells of the gland, the functions and structure of the organ are carefully restored, swelling is eliminated, the walls of the vessels are strengthened, etc.
It appeared on the pharmaceutical market twenty years ago and is still popular. However, its development began in the middle of the XX century. Reviews about "Prostatilene" are abundant.
How was the drug developed?
The beginning of drug development dates back to the period of the Cold War. At that time, pharmaceutical institutes were instructed to make an effective tool that supports men's health among sailors. In the early 80's. St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy Kirova introduced the drug Prostalin. They came up with it only in the form of ampoules in which there was a lyophilisate for intravenous injection.
A few years later, at the beginning of the XXI century, the pharmaceutical company “Cytomed” launched this drug on the market with the new trade name “Prostatilen”. The medicine is currently sold both in the form of ampoules, and in an even more convenient form - rectal suppositories.
Reviews of candles "Prostatilen" mostly positive.
Release Forms
Rectal suppositories are produced in a dosage of thirty and fifty milligrams.
Candles are in dense blisters that help maintain the desired temperature and contribute to protection from the sun.
In one package there are five suppositories. The drug has a torpedo-elongated shape, the color is cream. Sometimes there is a gray or marble shade. Suppositories have a specific smell. It is smooth to the touch and melt away from body temperature.
According to reviews, "Prostatilen with zinc" is very effective.
Another form is a lyophilisate for the manufacture of a solution. In the composition of the ampoule of the drug there are five or ten milligrams of the active substance. This powder is produced in bottles. Its contents have a friable porous structure. When it combines with a solvent, a characteristic odor arises. It is produced in cardboard packaging of five pieces.
Each pack has instructions. Reviews of candles "Prostatilen" consider below.
Features of the composition
The main active ingredient: an extract of the prostate gland of gobies that have reached puberty (i.e. a complex of water-soluble peptides).
Excipients in rectal suppositories are as follows:
- Polyethylene oxide 1500 is a chemical substance with which rectal suppositories have the melting point and structure necessary for them. This component is the basis of the weight and form of the drug. For the body, it is non-toxic, has a slight laxative effect, slippery and soft to the touch.
- Dimethyl sulfoxide - This chemical is an excellent solvent with very low toxicity, which distinguishes it from other similar components. It has a disinfecting and anti-inflammatory effect. Increases the bioavailability of the drug and acts as an excellent conductor of other active substances.
- There are no additional substances in the lyophilisate that make it possible to impart a structure or specific properties, improve solubility or bioavailability.
This is confirmed by the instructions for use with Prostatilen. According to reviews, candles are more popular.
