PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

A preparation of vegetable origin, used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
It has antiandrogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects selectively on prostate tissue.
The mechanism of antiandrogenic action is due to inhibition of the activity of 5-alpha-reductase (as a result of which the transformation of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone is broken).
Under the influence of this enzyme, the testosterone entering the prostate gland turns into an active form - dihydrotestosterone. The prostaplant prevents the formation of a dihydrotestosterone-receptor complex, its penetration into the nucleus of the cell, and subsequent inducing of protein synthesis. As a result of this action, the process of proliferative changes in the tissues of the prostate gland is inhibited. Prostaplant does not affect the levels of testosterone, FSH and LH in the blood plasma in men.
Anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect of the drug is due to inhibition of enzymes - cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase.

Prostaplant reduces capillary permeability and vascular stasis, reduces edema and inflammation of the prostate, thus eliminating compression on the neck of the bladder and urethra, improving the dynamics of the urinary tract.

The use of the drug helps to reduce specific symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (dysuria, pollakuriya, nocturia, decreased volume and strength of urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, pain and a sense of tension in the perineum at the I and II stages of the disease).

Prostaplant does not reduce potency, does not affect the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood plasma.
