Joint use of Omnik and Avodart funds
In most cases, urologists prescribe complex treatment with Avodart and Omnic drugs. These drugs have a different composition, but complement each other perfectly and give good results in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia and the consequences resulting from it, such as acute urinary retention. “Avodart” and “Omnic” preparations have similar effects on the body. Joint application helps to cope with the disease in a short time. The combination of drugs affects different processes in the adenoma. A special scheme is recommended according to which treatment will be carried out. A capsule of one medicine is taken in the morning, and another in the evening.
The course of treatment depends on the severity of the disease and takes about three months. A month later, an ultrasound scan showed a decrease in a benign tumor of the prostate after taking Omnic and Avodart (combined use). The recommendations of urologists will help get rid of the disease and return to normal life. Also, thanks to medications, the patient will get rid of pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, inflammation and congestion in the bladder. The combined use of drugs will help facilitate urination, increase urine outflow, restore bladder elasticity and relieve hypertrophy of its walls.
Do not affect the decrease in sexual activity of the medicine "Avodart" and "Omnic." Joint use is highly effective in the treatment of prostatitis. Blood supply is normalized in the gland, inflammation is eliminated and swelling is reduced.
Combined drug treatment will help reduce the likelihood of surgery due to acute urinary retention. Medications do not irritate the gastric mucosa thanks to special gelatin capsules. According to the statistical data and patient reviews, Avodart and Omnik products show positive dynamics in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia.
The chemical composition of the two drugs prevents the action of enzymes that affect the proliferation of tissue in the prostate gland. Also during the treatment process, urination and sexual function are normalized.
It is worth remembering that health largely depends on the patient himself. After treatment with capsules, you need to change your diet, exercise, avoid stressful situations. Otherwise, the disease may return. Twice a year, it is necessary to conduct a control ultrasound examination of the prostate gland. If necessary, after a while, you can undergo a second course of treatment.
