Longidase from prostatitis: instructions for use

The effectiveness of drug treatment depends on compliance with medical recommendations and instructions described in the instructions for use. The therapy regimen may vary depending on the stage of the disease, the severity of the course, the characteristics of the current state of health.

Candles

A urologist can prescribe Longidaza suppositories for the treatment of prostatitis with different intervals of administration. Often every 48 hours, it happens less often. An important condition is preliminary bowel cleansing. If you have difficulty with natural bowel movements, an enema should be given.

The manufacturer recommends using rectal suppositories as follows:

• General course includes 20 candles;
• The first 10 must be injected into the anus every 48 hours;
• The remaining suppositories should be used every third day.

Injections

The most suitable therapeutic regimen is selected depending on a number of indicators, including age characteristics, condition and specificity of the symptoms of the disease.As a solution, Longidaza for chronic prostatitis is injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously no more than once every three days. In some cases, the interval reaches one and a half weeks. It is important to know that the agent must not be administered intravenously.

The manufacturer of the drug recommends using the following therapy option:

• Course duration - 15 injections;
• Introduction - once every 5 days;
• Dosage - ampoule with 3000 IU of active ingredient;
• Repeat after 3 months (if necessary).

In case of insufficient effectiveness, after the main course, reinforcing therapy is carried out, which consists in the introduction of 3000 IU 1 time in 10 days.

What drugs should I use in parallel?

The efficacy of Longidase has been proven by studies in the treatment of prostatitis of any origin, however, the "solo" use of the drug leads to an effect exclusively on the connective tissue, while the foci of infectious inflammation continue to activate.

The maximum effect for men occurs when the drug is combined with drugs of the antibiotic group. This combination provides the following results:

• The bioavailability of active substances of other drugs increases;
• The symptomatic severity of the disease is significantly reduced;
• Affected tissue regenerates much faster.

Suppositories are commercially available, ampoules may require prescription form with a stamp.

The cost depends on the concentration of the active ingredient and the number of suppositories or vials in the package
