If there is a need to restore the healthy functioning of the urinary system, but do not want to clog the body with synthetic medicines, the best option is Kanefron tablets. They are made from medicinal herbs, therefore they act gently. The saying "One heals, the other cripples" is not about them.

Composition, release form and packaging

Tablets "Kanefron" or "Kanefron N" (they are also called dragees because of their shape) are smooth, round, convex on both sides, in a pleasant orange shell. They are sold in packages of 60 or 120 pieces. Each instance consists of dried and polished herbs.

So, the composition of the Kanefron N tablets includes:

  • Folia Rosmarini (rosemary leaves) - 18 milligrams;
  • Herba Centaurii (centaury grass) - 18 milligrams;
  • Radix Levistici (root of the lovage) - 18 milligrams.

In addition, there are auxiliary components:

  • corn starch;
  • magnesium stearate;
  • povidone;
  • red iron oxide;
  • lactose monohydrate;
  • anhydrous colloidal silicon dioxide;
  • riboflavin;
  • sucrose;
  • talc;
  • montan glycol wax;
  • calcium carbonate and some others.

Pharmacological properties and indications for use

The plant complex included in the Kanefron is able to enhance the effect of antibiotics, relieve inflammation, and pushes the body to increased excretion of urine (phyto oils affect this). In addition, the drug dilates blood vessels, allowing blood to pass freely to the kidneys.

As a result:

a) the absorption of sodium and fluid into the walls of the organ, which is produced by the renal pelvis, is prevented;

b) edema on the surface of the body, which appeared when the kidneys began to fail, disappear;

c) rosmarinic acid gives an anti-inflammatory effect and smoothes out unpleasant symptoms (cramps and burning sensation in the lower abdomen disappear when going to the toilet “a little”), due to which the patient very quickly, almost on the first day of using the drug, notices that he is better;

g) the level of protein in the urine returns to normal;

e) smooth muscles cease to be “tied with strong knots”, which causes pain;

e) an antimicrobial effect is observed: bacteria - staphylococci and streptococci are suppressed, and can no longer multiply freely.

There are not so many indications for using the medicine. Nevertheless, Kanefron tablets are prescribed for all major diseases of the genitourinary system.

This remedy is resorted to when:

  • pyelonephritis of a constant form;
  • cystitis, both acute and chronic;
  • preventing the formation of sand and stones in the bladder and kidneys;
  • glomerulonephritis - acute and subacute.

Your doctor may also prescribe this medicine to prevent prostate inflammation.

It is interesting that Kanefron is also successfully used in veterinary medicine. For example, when a cat suffers from cystitis, the veterinarian will probably prescribe one tablet twice a day.

Instructions for use of tablets "Kanefron"

When it becomes painful to go to the toilet for little need, and below the abdomen a tight spiral is twisted every now and then, most likely, the doctor will prescribe “Kanefron”. It was said above that relief comes from him very quickly. But this does not mean that you are healthy, and you need to stop taking it. Healing will come only after the full course of treatment proposed by a specialist. Otherwise, everything will break out with renewed vigor.

Naturally, the drug should be used, given the instructions for use, as well as special doctor's instructions. He should be trusted when in the process of treatment you need to change the mode of use of the drug.

Method of administration and dosage

The usual dosage is two tablets at a time three times a day. To do this before meals or after - it does not matter. Therapy lasts for two to four weeks. After which a two-week pause is observed, and the medication can be drunk again.

Self-medication is not an option, even considering the natural composition of the Kanefron tablets. It is important to correctly calculate how much will help in a particular case. In addition, without the control of a doctor, a quick improvement in the form of missing discomfort and pain can convince you to drop the tablets on the shelf of a home medicine cabinet. But only the symptoms disappear, and the disease remains.

Children "Kanefron" in the form of tablets are allowed to give no earlier than the age of six. Prior to this, small patients are treated with a drug in the form of a solution: it is easier to adhere to the prescribed dose. After six years and up to 14, they are allowed to take one tablet three times a day, older teenagers - two pieces three times a day, like Kanefron for adult patients.

Special instructions for admission

There are nuances that need to be taken into account when being treated with Kanefron.

  1. Need to drink more than before. This is especially true of the elderly, children, women who are waiting for the birth of a child, or breastfeeding a baby. The drug is a diuretic, quickly removes fluid to the outside. If losses are not compensated, there is a risk of upsetting the salt balance, which is dangerous for a sensitive organism.
  2. Whatever group the patient belongs to, the requirement to comply with the recommended dosage and adhere to the instructions applies to everyone.
  3. Sometimes the situation is such that Kanefron has to use several courses in a row.
  4. Diabetics should definitely consult with an endocrinologist: sucrose and sugar syrup inside the tablets (approximately 0.02 bread units in each) are an occasion for special care.
  5. When a patient is tormented by an exacerbation of a stomach ulcer, therapy is delayed until improvement.
  6. If the patient’s body does not produce an enzyme for the breakdown of lactose (this is one of the auxiliary components of Kanefron), there will be no benefit from the treatment. As is the case with rare genetic forms of intolerance to galactose or fructose.

During pregnancy and lactation

During pregnancy, the urinary system ailments have a habit of exacerbating, or waking up after a long lull. In such a vulnerable state for two organisms, “Kanefron” is very often the only medicine that can help and not harm either the expectant mother or the fetus inside her.

Three reasons:

  • naturalness;
  • high degree of security;
  • good tolerance.

Especially often, gynecologists are forced to resort to "Kanefrona" in the first trimester of pregnancy at their wards. In a woman’s body, focused on tremendous changes, infections make their way quite easily. Therefore, acute cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and pyelonephritis - phenomena in the early stages are quite common.

But troubles from the urinary system can wait in a later period, when the growing baby takes up more space, and the uterus begins to put pressure on neighboring organs, including the bladder.

The excellent healing properties of Kanefron are by no means a reason to use it as you see fit. Therapy should be administered only under strict medical supervision. Doses and duration of treatment are solely his competence.

Can I drink alcohol while taking the drug

Some believe that since the basis of Kanefron is medicinal plants, it is not scary to combine it with alcohol. Is it so?

In fact, the compatibility of any medication with alcoholic drinks causes very big doubts. For example, alcohol can harm sick kidneys even without Kanefron. And in a duet, they are able to spoil the treatment of “thematic” ailments, because the active substances will not be absorbed into the mucous membranes, as it should be, or will no longer be properly excreted from them, the patient may suffer from nausea with vomiting, indigestion, allergies, and so on. Kanefron is a multi-component preparation. It is impossible to predict and prevent the body's response to the reaction of each ingredient with alcohol.

And the question is not what is better to drink during treatment - a glass of vodka or a glass of expensive wine. Medicine is categorical: both the first and second are alcohol. And without it, while being treated, it is better to do.

Drug interaction

To date, there is no information about how Kanefron interacts with other medical facilities. Although, perhaps, he is able to enhance the effect of antibiotics. Therefore, since there is a need for treatment with Kanefron, and just at this time you have to take other drugs, it is better to devote a doctor to your situation to calm yourself.

Contraindications, side effects and overdose

Before buying Kanefron tablets, you should read the instructions and determine if you have any contraindications to the medicine indicated in the document.

They should not be treated for those who:

  • individual intolerance to herbs and any components of the drug;
  • swelling of the heart or kidneys;
  • gluco-galactose malabsorption syndrome (in simple words, the stomach and intestines are not able to absorb monosaccharides);
  • age up to six years.

A captive and therefore weakened organism can respond to the drug with extraneous manifestations:

  • itching
  • skin rash;
  • urticaria;
  • indigestion (rarely).

As for the overdose, no one knows anything about this, since such situations were not observed. However, if you accidentally drank more pills and are afraid of the consequences, flush your stomach.

Analogs of tablets Kanefron

There are drugs that are quite capable of replacing Kanefron and are not inferior to it in healing qualities. They are also created using medicinal plants.The composition may be different, but the effect is the same.
