Drug therapy for cystitis is aimed at eliminating infectious agents and alleviating the symptoms of the disease. Depending on the type of pathogenic microflora and the nature of the pathology, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal drugs are used.
Diuretics, antispasmodics and anesthetics alleviate the course of the disease and increase its effectiveness. The use of such serious drugs is not without undesirable consequences, especially with long-term treatment.
Complex medications that have universal capabilities with minimal toxicity will help reduce the risk of unforeseen events. Such a drug is drops for cystitis, which are used as an additional remedy to reduce the share of serious drugs in the therapeutic regimen.
Possibilities of drops against cystitis
Most medicines in the form of drops for oral use contain only natural ingredients. In urological practice, plant complexes are also used, developed on the basis of the latest methods of herbalists.
In addition to the unique recipe, all stages of production are controlled - from the technology of processing plant raw materials to the production of extracts with biologically active characteristics. Herbal medicines help eliminate the symptoms of cystitis, urethritis, genitourinary infections, and are also used to prevent such a serious complication as pyelonephritis.
Most often, the cause of cystitis is pathogenic bacteria that colonize the mucous surface of the bladder and urinary system . An increase in the number of colonies feeding on iron compounds is accompanied by itching, spasms, pain, frequent urge to go to the toilet, and burning.
With more serious lesions, signs of intoxication of the body with waste products of microorganisms are added in the form of chills, fever, low-grade fever, and a general deterioration in health.
Traditional therapy attempts to relieve pain and inflammation, remove decay products, normalize the functions of the genitourinary system, and prevent complications using a whole range of medications.
When drawing up a therapeutic regimen, from three to seven serious drugs are used that negatively affect the functions of the kidneys and liver - the most vulnerable filter organs in this regard. The use of herbal remedies with complex capabilities allows you to reduce the list of medications by half.
The effectiveness of drops used in the treatment of inflammation is due to the characteristics of the composition and the influence of the active components on the causes of the development of the disease.
The inflammatory process, as a rule, is stopped with antibiotics or antifungal medications if it is caused not by E. coli, but by other pathogens that are not sensitive to antibacterial drugs.
Drops that are used for inflammation of the bladder do not have a specific effect on sources of infection, but create an unfavorable environment inside the organ that inhibits the spread of infection. Plant components with powerful anti-inflammatory capabilities enhance the effect of antibiotics.
Diuretic medications are added to the complex so that urine washes out the mucous membrane, freeing it from pathogens. Synthetic diuretic drugs create a powerful effect, but in the end the body becomes dehydrated, the water-salt balance is disturbed, and the cardiovascular system experiences inadequate stress.
The diuretic components of the drops, which have a gentle effect on the filtration functions of the kidneys, do not cause intoxication in the body.
Antispasmodics and analgesic medications eliminate spasms of internal smooth muscles, relieve pain, reducing the sensitivity of the organ. Herbal medicines have similar properties, but there are significantly fewer side effects.
Stagnant processes in the genitourinary system are often accompanied by the formation of sand and stones in the kidneys and bladder. The drops contain active components that break down stones and prevent crystallization by normalizing the acidity of the environment.
Drops for cystitis definitely do not solve all the problems that arise from bladder inflammation, but they can alleviate the symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life in such a difficult period.

Reviews
Patients who have suffered from cystitis note that herbal drops are effective only for moderate and mild degrees of the disease. In acute cystitis with severe symptoms and the presence of blood in the urine, such medications should be combined with antibiotic therapy.
In addition, it is indicated that these drugs are made from herbs and have an anti-inflammatory effect, which manifests itself in the form of a decrease in the intensity of symptoms. When using sugar drops, according to patients, it is possible to optimize the taste of the medicine, but such products have a very unpleasant taste.
