"Kanefron N": how much to wait for the effect of a medicine on herbs

The name of the drug is often used among doctors and patients without the addition of the letter “H”, which introduces some confusion. In fact, this is one and the same medicine. "Kanefron N" is a safe drug, it is approved for use in young children, during pregnancy and lactation. Sometimes Kanefron is prescribed in conjunction with a noshpa to relieve spasms and relieve pain.

What kind of drug and how it works

The composition of "Kanefron N" includes four varieties of medicinal plants, presented in the form of extracts from them:

• rosehip;
• lovage;
• centaury;
• rosemary.

Thanks to the components, the drug has the following therapeutic effects.

• Diuretic. Essential oils and carboxylic acids in the composition of "Kanefron N" improve the blood supply to the kidneys - glomerular filtration. This leads to an increase in the volume of urine produced. In addition, the reverse flow of sodium from the lumen of the tubules into the blood is slowed down and, to maintain osmotic pressure, the flow of fluid into the lumen of the urinary tract increases, which increases urination.
• Anti-inflammatory. It is carried out mainly by rosemary and rose hips. This increases the stability of cells and their resistance to the action of free radicals. The production of inflammatory mediators is reduced.
• Antimicrobial. The oils included in the composition have a detrimental effect on pathogenic bacteria, destroying or slowing down growth and reproduction.
• Antispasmodic. Flavonoids and essential oils relieve smooth muscle spasms, thereby reducing the severity of pain and swelling.

When appointed

Indications for the use of "Kanefron" are the following conditions:

• urinary tract infection - pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis, pyelitis, asymptomatic bacteriuria;
• chronic kidney disease - glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis;
• the need to prevent the formation of kidney stones - in patients prone to urolithiasis, as well as inflammatory diseases and metabolic disorders;
• swelling - if they are caused by impaired renal function in chronic renal failure (chronic renal failure) with fluid retention.

With cystitis and pyelonephritis

The use of "Kanefron" with cystitis in its acute form is shown only as an adjuvant. In the chronic course of the disease, you can use the medicine in the form of monotherapy, but in courses. Most often there are several, there are intervals between them. "Kanefron N" helps to normalize urination, relieves manifestations of the inflammatory process, as a result of which pain is reduced.

A regular medication in this case is the prevention of relapse of the disease. It is well tolerated, so the possibility of prolonged use is not excluded. "Kanefron" has an antibacterial effect, but the result is not immediately noticeable, but some time after regular intake.

With edema

With edema, "Kanefron N" helps to remove fluid from the body due to a diuretic effect. The water-salt balance is not disturbed. Therefore, the drug is used in the complex treatment of kidney diseases, which are accompanied by fluid retention in the body. Often, edema occurs in pregnant women, therefore this drug is also prescribed for this category of patients for prevention or as part of complex therapy for gestosis.

With urolithiasis

With urolithiasis, the body breaks down the metabolism, which contributes to stone formation. A fairly common treatment method is stone crushing (shock wave lithotripsy). In this case, various small parts may remain that must be removed from the urinary system without consequences - “sand”. In this case, “Kanefron N” will help to accelerate the conclusion of the fragments. Also, with this pathology, it is often prescribed to exclude the risk of a relapse of the pathology.

With urethritis

Prescribed this drug for cystitis. I went to the doctor with pains in the lower abdomen, there were frequent, painful urination. We were diagnosed with a one-time antibiotic and a course of kanefron. When I began to take these pills, going to the toilet only became more frequent. Although it is not strange, since the drug is a diuretic. After a couple of days, the symptoms felt less acute. At the end of the course, she completely felt relief. Kanefron helped me a lot, I recommend it.
