One of the drugs of the antiandrogen group, prescribed during the course of therapy, is Permikson. An analogue of the drug can be selected both by the mechanism of action and by the active substance. Let us consider in more detail the most effective drugs for the treatment of benign education.
"Permixon" - what kind of drug?
The representative of antiandrogenic medicines based on herbal medicine is Permixon. Experts call it a classic in the treatment of various pathologies of the male genitourinary system. The tool has a completely natural composition, but it is also not without some side effects and contraindications.
The drug has been produced by the French pharmaceutical company Pierre Fabre Medicine Production for more than 20 years. During all this time, studies were conducted in the process of which the high therapeutic effectiveness of the drug “Permikson” was proved.
Instructions for use, price and analogues are what interests patients who have been prescribed a phytopreparation. There are two forms of release - green-coated tablets and capsules. They differ in the amount of active substance and auxiliary components. The optimal form of the drug in the particular case for treatment is chosen by the doctor. The cost of the medicine is 1900-2400 rubles.

It contains 80 mg in one tablet, and 160 mg in a capsule. The effect of treatment with the drug is manifested only at the local level. As auxiliary substances, methylated casein, glycerin, polyvidone, magnesium carbonate, titanium dioxide, indigo carmine, kaolin, magnesium stearate, colloidal silica, wheat starch, macrogol are used.
When is Permixon prescribed?
An analogue of the original medicine may have a similar composition and therapeutic effect. However, not all substitutes are notable for their safety, unlike the tablets and capsules “Permikson”. The medicine is used mainly for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate gland) of 1 and 2 degrees. This organ performs an important function and produces a slightly alkaline secretion - the main component of seminal fluid, necessary for the mobility and viability of sex gametes (spermatozoa).
A positive effect will be exerted in the treatment of chronic prostatitis and all forms of this ailment. Herbal medicine helps to cope with moderate urination problems.
Analogs
Cope with the symptoms of prostatitis (painful and frequent urination, impaired sexual function) and the initial stages of development of prostatic hyperplasia can be quickly enough if you start taking Permixon tablets in a timely manner. The analogue (Russian or imported) of the drug will be no less effective only if it was prescribed by a specialist after examining the patient.
French medication can be replaced with more affordable drugs. The following drugs have similar healing properties:
- "Prostamol Uno."
- Trianol.
- Gentos.
- "Dalphaz" (with prolonged action).
- Prostaplant.
- "Prostakor."
- Adenol Forte.
With timely access to a urologist, it is possible to overcome prostatic hyperplasia and other diseases of the genitourinary tract without the development of any complications. Phytopreparations of antiandrogenic action, alpha-blockers, physiotherapeutic procedures are usually prescribed in combination. In the absence of therapy, the condition can become critical and leads to serious consequences.
The drug "Dalphaz": description
The drug "Dalfaz" is often prescribed as a substitute for tablets "Permikson". Instructions for use, the price of the analogue is somewhat similar to the French drug. Despite the fact that the drugs differ in composition, their therapeutic effect is almost the same.
The active substance of the drug "Dalfaz" is alfuzosin hydrochloride. Auxiliary components are calcium hydrogen phosphate, hydrogenated castor oil, magnesium stearate, propylene glycol, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, yellow iron oxide. The drug is released in the form of tablets with different contents of alfuzosin. “Dalfaz retard” have 5 mg of the active component, “Dalfaz SR” - 10 mg, and “Dalfaz” - 2.5 mg of alfuzosin.
The active substance affects the smooth muscles of the prostate and eliminates problems with urination (dysuria), reduces pressure in the urethra, and eliminates pain and discomfort. The therapeutic effect of the tablets allows them to be prescribed to patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Application features
