Vesomni is a medication that is often prescribed for patients to relieve unpleasant symptoms that have arisen during the growth of prostate adenoma.
The composition of the medicine has two active substances: solifenacin and tamsulosin. Thanks to this combination, it is extremely effective. Vesomni is available in tablet form. The tablets themselves are small in size, making them easy to use and store.
The drug is packaged as follows: in a cardboard box there are 3 blisters, each of which 10 tablets.
If the patient is prescribed Vesomni, the instructions for use, price reviews, analogues, most likely, will interest him. And it is right. Even if the medication is prescribed by a qualified specialist, it will never be superfluous to get acquainted with the basic information about the drug.
Indications
“Take it” is indicated for patients with prostate adenoma who have symptoms of an overflowing bladder, its incomplete emptying, as well as too frequent urges to urinate.
The essence of the treatment with Vesomni is that the active substances contained in it have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the pelvic organs. This leads to the normalization of physiological processes in this area. The drug also normalizes sexual function and reduces the risk of complications of prostate adenoma.
The tool gives the greatest effect if it is started to be used at the initial stages of the disease.
Contraindications
Each medicine, even the most effective and expensive, has its own contraindications. And “Take it” in this case is no exception.
Taking this drug is highly undesirable for patients who:
- suffer from renal failure (especially if the disease is in an acute stage);
- take medications that contain isoenzyme inhibitors;
- undergoing hemodialysis procedures;
- have a history of glaucoma attack;
- have not reached the age of 18 years;
- suffer from hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
- have severe disorders in the functioning of the prostate gland.
If, in addition to the Vesomni remedy, the patient uses any other drugs, then the reaction of his body can be twofold. So, some substances can enhance the effect of the drug. This is especially true for potent inhibitors.
Tamsulosin increases the effectiveness of analgesics.
When using drugs that slow down intestinal motility, Vesomni will penetrate the body much faster and will be better absorbed. However, in patients with hypersensitivity of the body, this can provoke anaphylactic shock.
In men with kidney disease, taking Vesomni tablets may cause some inhibition.
It is also worth saying that this drug, as well as Vesomni analogues, are intended exclusively for the treatment of male patients.
Mode of application
Use "Vesomni" you need inside by 1 tablet 1 time per day, regardless of food intake. In some cases, the doctor may advise increasing the dosage (you do not need to do this yourself). The medicine cannot be chewed or crushed in any way. It must be accepted as a whole. Only under this condition will the release of the main active substance occur on time.
After taking the medicine, the maximum concentration of the active substance in the blood is reached after 3-8 hours. It depends on the dose that the patient has taken, as well as on the individual characteristics of his body.
The bioavailability of the drug is quite high and amounts to 90%.
Side effects
During treatment with this drug or analogues of Vesomni, patients experienced the following unpleasant phenomena:
- allergic reactions;
- infectious processes in the urinary tract;
- inflammation of the walls of the bladder;
- anaphylactic shock;
- anorexia or hyporexia;
- decrease in the amount of potassium in the body;

- the occurrence of a painful erection that does not disappear for a long time.
In addition to all of the above, patients often notice constant drowsiness, visual impairment and its vagueness. For this reason, the drug should be prescribed with caution to people whose work requires a high concentration of attention.
To avoid side effects, before starting treatment with Vesomni, the patient is advised to undergo a thorough medical examination.
Overdose
With a strong overdose of the drug "Vesomni" in patients there is a sharp decrease in blood pressure in combination with an anticholinergic effect. The latter includes:
- confusion of consciousness;
- impaired memory and attention;
- dizziness;
- increased body temperature in combination with reduced sweating;
- anxiety, insomnia.
If these symptoms occur, it is recommended to take activated charcoal in a dosage of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight, then consult your doctor or call an ambulance (depending on the severity of the condition). To alleviate the condition, you can also take a mild laxative. The specialist will conduct symptomatic treatment, cancel the medicine and prescribe a more suitable drug. Perhaps it will be a softer, with a lower dosage of tamsulosin analogue of Vesomni.
With a strong decrease in pressure (accompanied by nausea, dizziness, darkening in the eyes and weakness), the man should take a lying position and stay in it until the unpleasant symptoms disappear. To speed up this process, he can be given sweet strong tea and chocolate.
special instructions
In most cases, both the original drug and Vesomni analogues are well tolerated by patients and do not adversely affect the tissues of internal organs. Moreover, negative reactions from the body were absent even in elderly patients with prolonged use of the drug.
If the patient is preparing for surgery in front of his eyes, he must be sure to warn his attending physician that he is taking Vesomni. In order to avoid negative consequences, you may need to give up the drug for a while. This is best done 1-2 weeks before the procedure. Failure to comply with this rule may lead to the patient having iris instability during the procedure.
Storage
The drug should be stored at a temperature not exceeding +30 ° C. Its shelf life under such conditions will be 3 years. The medicine should not be used after the expiration of the specified period, as this can harm health.
Price
The cost of packing Vesomni in Russian pharmacies is about 520 rubles. However, it may vary slightly depending on which pharmacy and in what area of the country the drug is purchased, as well as who the supplier of the medicine is.
Analogs
This drug does not belong to the category of expensive, but it must be taken for a long time. This, accordingly, will negatively affect finances. Therefore, many patients are thinking about buying cheaper analogues.
“Take it” you can easily find a replacement. Such drugs have an identical effect and are no worse than the original. And their low cost is due to the fact that Vesomni is manufactured in the Netherlands, and substitutes in other countries, where labor and taxes are much lower.
Analogous drugs (according to the indication and method of use), having a lower price, include:
- "Omnic" - 310 rubles.
- "Focusin" - 428 rubles.
- "Proflosin" - 338 rubles.
- "Sonizin" - 393 rubles.
It is worth saying that for Vesomni analogues, the price may change from time to time, which depends on the dollar exchange rate at the time of purchase. In addition, these drugs can not be found in every pharmacy.
What are the most popular analogues of Vesomni? There are several of them in Russia. Among these we can distinguish:
- Duodart.
- Tamsin Forte.
- Tamsulostad.
They are much more expensive than the above drugs (some even several times), but they are available in every pharmacy.
Despite the fact that these analogues have an identical composition and / or a similar pharmaceutical effect, it is highly not recommended to carry out the replacement on their own. Only a qualified doctor can do this. At the same time, he must say in what dosage it is necessary to use one or another analogue of “Vesomni”.
When replacing the drug, the patient should carefully monitor the body's response to taking a new medicine. If you have any unusual sensations, you need to urgently inform the specialist.
In no case should you engage in amateur performances. In most cases, this not only does not bring the patient the expected positive results, but also exacerbates the situation.
Before starting treatment, it is extremely important to study the instructions of the Vesomni analogue.
Patients' opinion about the drug
As practice shows, in men who took medications with solifenacin and tamsulosin in the composition, signs of urinary tract irritation quickly disappear and urine outflow improves significantly.
Many emphasize that in the early days of treatment, urination to urinate, on the contrary, can become more frequent. According to reviews, some patients after that go to the toilet at night 4-6 times. This is due to the fact that the body is cleansed of excess fluid that has accumulated in it during the period of exacerbation of the disease.
After a few days, the work of the urinary system normalizes. In men with a mild form of adenoma, absolutely all unpleasant symptoms can disappear. This usually occurs in the second week of treatment.
And yet, which drug is more effective - the original or Vesomni analogues? Reviews about the tool we are considering, and about substitutes are positive. Much depends on the reaction of the body to the active substance. But in general, the effect of taking medications is observed quite quickly.
