"KANEFRON": reviews

Reviews about drops

I met Kanefron during pregnancy, when after 22 weeks I started pyelonephritis. Before that, I did not know where the kidneys are located. The doctor first prescribed me 7 days of antibiotic injections, and at the same time told me to drink kanefron for a month. Gave birth without any problems. After that, I forgot about the pills for 5 years, until I got my feet wet in the fall. Severe cystitis began. I kicked my husband to the pharmacy, again drank the kanefron for a month and pah-pah: everything is calm for the third year.

Reviews of pills

I myself drink kanephron so that pyelonephritis does not worsen. The kidneys are a weak point since adolescence. Here my daughter for 7 years went to the store in jeans in winter. I went to the toilet 5 or 6 times at night. I took it immediately on kanefron (1 tablet 3 times a day). She immediately stopped running to the toilet every hour, but the course was drunk completely. For a year and a half, everything is fine. An excellent drug.

The little daughter fell ill with cystitis. The doctor said that at 3 years old it is better not to drink pills, but in drops. I bought it, tried it - disgusting. I began to drip peach juice or sweet fruit juice from jam into a spoon, give kanefron there and so on. The number did not work. I just had to add it to a mug of juice. The baby felt better after the second dose, but I gave drops for 14 days so that, God forbid, I would not get sick again. Now I keep it in my home medicine cabinet. A very good medicine.

Kanephron for children

Many parents are interested in whether it is possible for children to take Canephron drops? There is reason for doubt, because the solution, which is prescribed even to babies, contains ethanol.

In fact, babies are given small doses of the drug, which are preliminarily diluted with liquid and the alcohol content in such a volume is so minimal that it in no way can have a negative effect on the health of the baby. Therefore, pediatricians believe that this remedy is safe and can be used even in infants from one year of age. Moreover, the solution can be combined with other medicines and apply for a long time.

The only limitation to the use of Canephron drops in children is individual intolerance to the components, the consequence of which may be allergic reactions.

Reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea are observed only in extremely rare cases.

In some situations, the doctor may adjust the dose on an individual basis, for example, when treating a disease, reduce single dose up to 30 or 20 drops. It all depends on the characteristics of the disease and the general well-being of the woman.

During the course of therapy with Kanefron, it is recommended to drink more fluids. Patients with diabetes mellitus you should take the drug in the form of pills with extreme caution, since each of them contains digestible carbohydrates (at least 0.04 bread units).

Diseases of the urinary tract always cause a lot of inconvenience and significantly reduce the quality of life. For example, an exacerbation of cystitis can become an obstacle to a long-awaited date, and pyelonephritis can even drive you to a hospital bed. It is not surprising that people suffering from these problems always try to have the right remedy on hand that can quickly relieve another attack and prevent a relapse. It is good if the drug does not have side effects and consists of natural ingredients... Almost everyone who suffers from diseases of the urinary tract is familiar with the tablets "Kanefron". They appeared in our country not so long ago, but have already managed to gain popularity and prove their effectiveness. Nevertheless, patients have a lot of questions about the drug. How effective are its analogues? Instructions for use for the "Kanefron" tablets contain all the necessary information, but is it possible to calculate the dosage from it? At what age is it permissible to use of this drug? Today we will answer these and many other questions to our readers.

We describe the medicine

"Kanefron" tablets are foreign drugs. They were first produced in Germany and have been known there for almost a hundred years. Over the years, the pills have become very popular due to the fact that they can be taken by almost all groups of the population, and the side effects are so minor that they indicate their absence.

Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections. However, they harm the body, are not always effective, and in many situations they simply cannot be taken by patients. This applies, for example, to pregnant women who often face the problem of cystitis, but due to their position are limited in the choice of drugs. The instructions for use for tablets "Kanefron" indicate that they can be freely taken by children, pregnant and lactating women. Rave patient reviews confirm given fact, therefore, many make their choice in favor of this drug.

It should be borne in mind that in cases of prevention and on initial stage diseases of the tablet "Kanefron" will be very useful as monotherapy. But when the infectious process has been launched and intoxication of the body is observed, it will be impossible to do with one herbal preparation. In the instructions for use for the tablets "Kanefron" it is noted that they perfectly interact with various drugs, including antibiotics. The remedy only enhances the effect of other drugs, which means that the patient's condition will normalize faster.

Let's talk about the composition

From the instructions for the tablets "Kanefron" you can find out the composition of the drug. According to the manufacturer, it is completely vegetable. The components of the drug grow in large quantities in many regions of Eurasia, and about them healing properties has been known since time immemorial.

To the main active substances tablets "Kanefron" (instructions for use give a complete description of the drug) include four medicinal plants:

• rosemary;
• lovage;
• rose hip;
• centaury.

It should be borne in mind that each tablet contains the components in equal amounts. This balance provides high efficiency the drug and its ability to quickly relieve unpleasant symptoms of urinary tract diseases.

Each tablet of "Kanefron" has a shell, consisting of a large number of auxiliary components. Pharmacists have at least thirteen constituents, but we will name only a few of them:

• sucrose;
• talc;
• corn starch;
• riboflavin;
• mountain wax.

In addition to the already listed components in the tablets "Kanefron", judging by the instructions for use, contain povidone and lactose.

In what forms is the drug produced?

In this article, we are primarily interested in the description and use of "Kanefron" in tablets, however, in Russian pharmacies, you can find this drug in the form of drops. It is no less effective, but it is prescribed mainly for children who cannot swallow pills.

The instructions for use for the tablets "Kanefron" indicate that they have round shape and a smooth surface. Each dragee is colored in a bright orange shade, their distinctive feature can be considered as bulges on both sides.

As a part of tablets of eighteen milligrams of each active substance, auxiliary components are introduced in pills in different concentrations. Their main purpose is to ensure the penetration of the drug into the patient's blood. With their help, the therapeutic effect is enhanced, so the relief from the intake comes much faster.

The tablets are packaged in packs of sixty pieces. In reviews of the dosage of Kanefron tablets, patients often write that one pack is not enough for a course of treatment. Therefore, it is worth immediately purchasing two packages of the drug; in some cases, the doctor may extend the pill intake for a few more weeks.

Drops "Kanefron" have a yellowish-brown tint and are distinguished by a certain turbidity of the solution. Precipitation is also permissible, usually it is formed already during storage. Each package contains one bottle of a drug with a volume of fifty or one hundred milliliters.

I would like to note that there are practically no auxiliary components in the drops of the drug. The instructions indicate only pure water, however, please note that the drops are made on an alcohol basis, so pregnant women should refuse them. Despite the fact that "Kanefron" is safe for children and is often prescribed even for babies under one year old, you should not use it without a doctor's recommendation. Perhaps, in your case, a different drug is much more suitable for the baby.

The therapeutic effect of the components of the drug

In reviews of the "Kanefron" tablets, its high efficiency is often mentioned. But many patients remain unclear about the mechanism of its action, because some believe that the herbal complex can be used only as a supplement and will not have desired effect with monotherapy.

In fact, the herbs contained in the "Kanefron" tablets (they are described in the instructions for use) have a powerful effect on the body, thanks to essential oils and flavonoids.

For example, a centaury has a mass various properties: it increases appetite, helps with skin problems, but primarily treats the bladder and kidneys. There are quite a lot of phenolic acids and glycosides in this plant; whole shoots of centaury are used in the production of the medicine.

Rosemary is rich in flavonoids, essential oils and a special acid found only in this plant. In addition to therapeutic effect for the urinary tract, rosemary leaves relieve nervous tension and have a choleretic effect.

The root of lovage, used in the preparation, has a diuretic effect and complements other plants.

Keep in mind that in the chronic form of cystitis, the doctor will prescribe only one "Canephron".

During the period breastfeeding taking the medicine can not be canceled. To date, no negative effects of plant components on the health of the baby have been identified.

Analogs of tablets "Kanefron"

If we talk about similar products, then it is worth considering only those that are made from plant extracts. Among the large number of such drugs, three can be distinguished:

• Phytolysin;
• Furagin;
• Cyston.

The latter medicine is quite often compared with "Kanefron" and in some cases it is even prescribed instead. Many believe that the richer composition of Cyston is its clear advantage. In some cases, we can agree with this, since the abundance of components significantly enhances the therapeutic effect. However, on the other hand, it is this fact that limits the number of patients who can take the drug due to possible allergic reactions.

It is also worth mentioning that "Canephron" is more effective when it comes to excreting protein in the urine of pregnant women, and "Cyston" gives a good result in the fight against the formation of kidney and bladder stones.

Many people suffering from infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urinary organs, such as cystitis, nephritis and urethritis, have long discovered Canephron, a drug intended for the treatment of such ailments.
