The basis of any inflammatory process is often infection. It develops due to the ingestion of various pathogenic microorganisms into the human body. The causative agents of infectious cystitis can be E. coli, staphylococcus. Pathogenic bacteria very quickly infect the body, and destroy the immune system as a whole. Therapy for inflammation of the urea is usually determined by a complex, including antimicrobial agents. "Furacilin" with cystitis is prescribed by doctors quite often. The drug in combination with other medicines can effectively fight the disease.
Cystitis
Among urological pathologies, inflammation of the bladder is considered to be common. Therefore, the treatment methods developed over the years are very effective. The main thing is to go through the entire therapeutic course without changing or giving up the use of medicines. Before you understand how to take "Furacilin" with cystitis, you need to understand the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease.
In medical practice, this term refers to a urinary infection, in which inflammation of the mucous membrane of the urea occurs, a violation of its functionality. Microbes, due to which cystitis develops, can enter the body in several ways:
- Ascending: urethritis, orchitis, epididymitis.
- Descending - genitourinary tuberculosis.
- Hematogenous - pulpitis.
- Lymphogenic - endometritis, parametritis.
The mucosa of the bladder is quite resistant to infection. Therefore, auxiliary circumstances play a significant role in the development of the disease: hypothermia, surgical intervention, impaired bladder functionality.
Cystitis is accompanied by painful and frequent deurination, pain in the lower abdomen, the appearance of blood and mucus in urine.
How is cystitis treated?
Therapy of cystitis is carried out under the supervision of a urologist. After an anamnesis and palpation of the suprapubic region, the patient is prescribed a clinical and laboratory examination. Diagnostics includes:
- general analysis and bacterial culture of urine;
- cystoscopy;
- cystography;
- ultrasound examination of the bladder.
Even before receiving the results of the tests, patients are prescribed antispasmodics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain. Stop the crisis of the disease within a week. Substances that inhibit the development of protozoa or prenuclear active cells are used: cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, nitrofurans.
Treatment of cystitis with Furacilin or antifungal drugs is prescribed for the detection of microorganisms in urine cultures on the flora. In addition to medicines, it is recommended to take herbal teas, lingonberry infusions, bearberry, herbal pharmaceuticals.
Why do doctors prescribe Furacilin for cystitis?
In most cases, the causative agent of bladder inflammation is staphylococcus bacteria, shigella, and others. "Furacilin" is active against these microorganisms. Penetrating into the cells, the active substance of the drug with the chemical name 2 - [(5-Nitro-2-furanyl) methylene] hydrazinecarboxamide lengthens the interphase and inhibits their division.
Quickly helps against cystitis "Furacilin" when taken orally. This is due to the good absorption of the substance through the cell walls directly into the blood. It inhibits the functioning of the fungal flora, which helps to reduce immunity.
Cystitis often recurs, especially in women. To eliminate the return of the inflammatory process, an instillation of the bladder is prescribed. The procedure, during which solutions of antibacterial, antimicrobial drugs are introduced through the catheter into the ureter, is performed exclusively in medical facilities. "Furacilin" used for instillation is a very effective tool.
Concomitant diseases have a positive effect on the development of cystitis. In women, inflammation of the urea is associated with gynecological pathologies. Nitrofural (the active substance of the device) eliminates the causative agents of urological and genital infections at the same time.
Doctors also recommend the drug because of its wide spectrum of action, slow resistance and virtually no side effects.
Drug indications
The tool has a special mechanism of exposure. Microbial complex proteins restore nitro compounds, the resulting highly reactive amino derivatives change the spatial arrangement of the protein, initiating cell death.
The medication is intended for the treatment of diseases, among which many are able to provoke the development of cystitis:
- Acute tonsillitis.
- Otitis.
- Purulent inflammation of the skin (abscess).
- Osteomyelitis.
- Post-traumatic infections.
- Postoperative suture treatment.
On the use of "Furacilin" with cystitis, there are no specific instructions in the instructions. But the drug has an antimicrobial effect and is used to treat various inflammatory processes, including urological ones.
In which cases it is not recommended to use "Furacilin"
Among the contraindications, the main one is special sensitivity to nitrofuran. In addition to intolerance to the components, there are a number of contraindications:
- The drug is not prescribed for bleeding.
- If there is a tendency to allergic dermatoses, a doctor may prescribe skin testing for allergens before prescribing the drug. With a positive result, the use of a medication is excluded.
- With cystitis, Furacilin is replaced with another antimicrobial agent if the patient has renal failure.
With external damage to the urethra, the drug is taken only orally.
Ways to use the drug
"Furacilin" is produced by pharmaceutical companies in various forms:
- 0.02 g tablets
- Alcohol solution for external use.
- Water solution.
- Ointment.
- Aerosol.
The method of therapy, apply "Furacilin" with cystitis inwardly or outwardly, the doctor prescribes. If the urologist has prescribed the drug in any particular dosage form, it is it that is necessary to use. Each has a specific composition and characteristics of effects on the body, so when replacing the therapy will be less effective.
Ingestion for disease
In addition to antibiotics, Furacilin is prescribed for cystitis. Also, the oral use of the drug is associated with the resistance of pathogenic microbes to antibacterial drugs.
The dosage and duration of the course is determined by the attending physician, focusing on the tests and the patient's well-being. Inside the drug should be used with extreme caution in accordance with all the recommendations of the urologist. With cystitis, the tablets of Furacilin are ground to a powder state and taken after meals, washed down with a considerable amount of liquid. Usually the therapeutic course does not exceed five days. Acute symptoms are removed on the third day.
How to carry out external use
A wide variety of forms of the drug allows you to use it at home.
"Furacilin" with cystitis is prescribed for douching. To prepare the solution, tablets and distilled or boiled water are used. The calculation of the components and the duration of the procedure is determined by the doctor.
Effective are short regular warm baths. They are prescribed to women once a day before bedtime.
The ointment is treated with cracks and wounds. If microtrauma has suppuration, the use of ointment is contraindicated.
Features of the use of the drug
Use with cystitis "Furacilina" has its own specifics. To the active substance of the drug, which has antibacterial properties, in most cases, drug resistance does not develop. However, it will be useful to pass an analysis on the tolerance of microorganisms to nitrofurans. This will help to avoid the ineffective, and in some cases useless use of the drug.
If there are side effects: dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, you should immediately inform your doctor about this and raise the question of the appropriateness of using Furacilin.
Unsystematic and prolonged use of the drug can cause dry skin, an unpleasant feeling of irritation, burning. Also, uncontrolled use of the medication often leads to an imbalance in the microflora of the genital mucosa.
There are other instructions that should not be neglected:
- "Furacilin" should be used only for treatment. Other means are used to prevent cystitis and other urological diseases.
- Regardless of the method of administration, it should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations.
- For children under 12 years of age, the washing procedure is not prescribed.
Many European countries do not use Furacilin as a medicine, considering it obsolete. The basis for this conclusion is the special properties of the drug: poor solubility in water and alcohol, is destroyed by ultraviolet radiation. But for many pharmaceutical companies, this is an occasion to improve the drug. Indeed, most specialists, including urologists, in practice are convinced of the effectiveness of treatment using Furacilin.
