Cystitis is an infectious disease of the urinary tract, usually accompanied by frequent painful urination, pus and blood in the urine. There are chronic and acute cystitis. Women are more likely to suffer from this disease, which is explained by the peculiarities of the anatomical structure of their urinary system.
More than 80% of all cases of cystitis are caused by E. coli. In other cases, the disease is provoked by other pathogens.
Antibiotics for the treatment of cystitis should be selected by a doctor. He will do this taking into account the individual characteristics of your body, possible contraindications and the sensitivity of the pathogen to the drug. The drug is prescribed quite often
"Furagin" for cystitis. It is an antimicrobial agent belonging to the class of nitrofurans. The use of the drug "Furagin" for cystitis is based on its activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It has a bacteriostatic effect on E. coli, Klebsiella,staphylococci and enterobacteria. The active substance - furazidin - acts on the nucleic acids of the bacterial cell, releasing special enzymes that block protein synthesis. Due to this, the process of intracellular respiration is disrupted, and the cell dies. Due to the multiple mechanism of action, the resistance of microorganisms to nitrofurans is quite low.
Usually, when using the drug "Furagin" for cystitis, the painful symptoms pass quickly enough. This is due to the fact that furagin inhibits the synthesis of various toxins by the bacterial cell, and the patient's condition improves markedly. Take the drug 1 tablet after meals 3 times a day. The course of treatment is usually 7 to 10 days. It is extremely important to continue treatment after the cessation of the main symptoms. If this is not done, the disease can go from acute to chronic.
Contraindication to the use of the drug "Furagin" in cystitis may be hypersensitivity, childhood, chronic renal failure, pregnancy and lactation. Side effects may include decreased appetite, headache, allergic reactions, and impaired kidney function.
So, drug therapy is used as the main method of treating cystitis: the patient is prescribed antibiotics. Cystitis can be cured faster if you follow some rules:
