pharmachologic effect
Treatment of prostatitis with Afalase occurs thanks to the active substances included in the drug:
- Antibodies to PSA help reduce inflammation and swelling. They improve the functioning of the prostate, accelerate metabolism in the pelvic organs, and reduce the rate of development of benign formations.
- Antibodies to endothelial NO synthase suppress the NO synthase antigen, which causes fluid stagnation in the prostate and penis, affecting the function and condition of blood vessels.
The drug Afalase is used to treat prostate adenoma due to the complex action of active substances. When used simultaneously, they enhance each other's therapeutic effect.
As a result of taking it, the general condition improves, pain during urination is relieved, the duration of sexual intercourse increases, libido increases, seminal fluid dilutes, and sperm quality improves.
