When Phytolysin is contraindicated
The components of the natural drug have a gentle effect on the body, but in some cases they can cause harm. Conditions under which Phytolysin must be discontinued:
- glomerulonephritis: a pathology in which glomerular tissue atrophies and kidney failure develops;
- hepatitis: all substances are metabolized in the liver, inflammation of its cells provokes the accumulation of toxins in the body;
- cholelithiasis: plants in the composition of Phytolysin promote active contraction of the walls of the bile ducts, this can lead to damage to the walls by stones or stone getting stuck;
- heart failure: the removal of electrolytes negatively affects the functioning of the myocardium and can provoke another dangerous attack;
- Gluten intolerance: wheat protein is contained in small quantities in the medicine;
- epilepsy: some compounds in the drug negatively affect the state of the central nervous system in this disease;
- phosphate kidney stones: the diuretic effect of the paste can cause severe colic or lead to stones getting stuck;
- individual hypersensitivity: the appearance of allergic itching, swelling or rash after taking a diuretic.
Pharmacological properties
Instructions for use describe the numerous possibilities of the drug. The effective action of Phytolysin is explained by a well-chosen complex of medicinal plants:
- Extracts of horsetail and knotweed give the drug diuretic properties. By increasing the daily amount of urine, they help flush out pathogenic bacteria from the urinary organs.
- The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect is provided by the extract of bird knotweed and creeping wheatgrass. Acting on the mucous membrane of damaged organs, they reduce irritation and relieve swelling. The amount of protein in the urine decreases.
- The antiseptic effect is due to lovage, birch leaves, and goldenrod. Plants have high disinfectant properties.
Paste "Fitolysin"
Phytolysin relaxes the smooth muscles of the bladder walls, relieving spasms and eliminating painful symptoms. The drug is effective for hemorrhagic cystitis, providing a hemostatic effect. The extracts of the plants included in the composition accelerate the regeneration processes in tissues, allowing the affected mucosa to recover faster.
The components of the drug, which have a general strengthening effect, give it the ability to increase the body's resistance. Some of them dissolve small urinary stones that form in the kidneys, facilitating their removal from the body, and preventing subsequent formation.
Combining the complex effects of medicinal plants in one preparation speeds up the healing process for infectious diseases of the urinary organs.
Symptoms of “alcoholic” cystitis
Taking small doses of alcohol can become a trigger for the onset of an acute condition with chronic cystitis, even if stable remission has previously been achieved. A glass of champagne or a glass of cognac can result in a week-long sick leave, taking antibiotics and restrictions in work, rest and sports.
Things are even worse for people who regularly drink alcohol. Both men and women can develop alcoholic cystitis. Its symptoms are similar to the usual one, but have some features:
- sharp pain during urination;
- aching pain in the groin;
- a sharp increase in the number of urges to go to the toilet;
- the appearance of night urination;
- itching on the mucous membrane of the genital organs in women, redness and swelling due to the thinning composition of urine;
- pain during sexual intercourse [3].
