Indications
Vesomni is indicated for patients with prostate adenoma who havesymptoms of a full bladder, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and too frequent urination.
The essence of the treatment with Vesomni is that the active substances contained in it have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the pelvic organs. This leads to the normalization of physiological processes in this area. Also, the drug normalizes sexual function and reduces the risk of complications of prostate adenoma.
The remedy gives the greatest effect if it is started to be used at the initial stages of the disease.

- Omnic – RUB 310
- Focusin – RUB 428
- "Proflosin" - 338 rubles.

What are the most popular Vezomni analogues? There are several of them in Russia. Among these are:
- "Duodart".
- "Tamsin Forte".
- Tamsulostad.
They are much more expensive than the above drugs (some even several times), but they are available in every pharmacy.
Despite the fact that these analogues have an identical composition and / or a similar pharmaceutical effect, it is highly not recommended to replace it yourself. Only a qualified doctor can do this. At the same time, he must definitely say in what dosage one or another analogue of Vezomni should be used.
When changing the drug, the patient should carefully observe the body's response to the new drug. If you experience any unusual sensations, you should immediately inform the specialist about this.
In no case should you engage in amateur performances. In most cases, this not only does not bring the positive results expected by the patient, but also aggravates the situation even more.
Before starting treatment, it is extremely important to study the instructions for the Vezomni analogue.
Opinion of patients about the drug
As practice shows, in men who took drugs with solifenacin and tamsulosin in the composition, signs of irritation of the urinary tract quickly disappear and the outflow of urine improves significantly.
Many emphasize that in the first days of treatment, the urge to urinate, on the contrary, may become more frequent. According to reviews, some patients then go to the toilet at night 4-6 times. This is due to the fact that the body is cleared of excess fluid accumulated in it during the period of exacerbation of the disease.
After a few days, the functioning of the urinary system returns to normal. In men with a mild form of adenoma, absolutely all unpleasant symptoms can disappear. This usually happens in the second week of treatment.
And yet, which drug is more effective - the original or Vezomni analogues? Reviews of both the tool we are considering and the substitutes are positive. Much depends on the reaction of the body to the active substance. But in general, the effect of taking drugs is observed quite quickly.
