Prostatitis problems should not go unnoticed and treated appropriately. The body is not able to cope with such a disease on its own. The set of measures that help with inflammation of the prostate gland includes treatment of prostatitis with tablets.
The tablets may have general or targeted effects. It is not worth choosing from a wide range of pharmacies. There is a high probability not only that you will not achieve the desired result, but also that you will get side effects.
It is better to find a doctor who is well acquainted with prostate health and follow his instructions. This will save your home budget and give you faster results. After all, the main feature that distinguishes the treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics and pills is precisely the responsible and rational approach to the issue.
Taking prostatitis pills
After examining the results of laboratory tests and direct examination of the prostate (and probably the entire genitourinary system), the doctor prescribes appropriate therapy.
An integrated approach is more commonly practiced. Among the drugs, depending on the stage of development of the disease, they may prescribe:
- Painkillers;
- Antispasmodics;
- Anti-inflammatory;
- Antibiotics;
- Antiviral drugs.
- Alpha blockers.
Often a specialist has to combine known drugs to achieve a result in the shortest possible time. The dosage is chosen individually. This is influenced not only by the results of the clinical examination, but also by age, lifestyle, the possibility of inpatient treatment or lack thereof.
It should be borne in mind that during treatment you should forget about the use of alcoholic beverages. And it's not just about antibiotics. All drugs, in combination with a course of libation therapy, lose their effectiveness and can lead to side effects due to the high load on the liver.
Interruption of the therapeutic course should not be allowed. The more strictly the instructions of the attending physician are followed, the more effective the therapy will be. If the patient initially does not have a significant amount of money for treatment, it is necessary to immediately discuss the choice of drugs with the urologist.
The modern pharmacological market has a wide range of generic drugs (cheaper analogues of patented drugs), which do not differ in their effectiveness from the advertised tablets.

Treatment of prostatitis with pills
When treating a patient with severe pain symptoms, the doctor will primarily prescribe analgesics that can relieve the pain. As a rule, these are painkillers. Many of them help not only to relieve pain, but also to relieve inflammation. Most often, this picture of meetings is typical of acute prostatitis.
If acute prostatitis is of primary importance and not the result of an untreated chronic form, then anti-inflammatory drugs are fully capable of completely eliminating the disease in the early stages.
Most likely, they will be prescribed in combination with antibiotics or antivirals. It is the suppression of the development of the inflammatory process that is the basis of the successful treatment of prostatitis.
Inflammation of the prostate gland is often accompanied by painful contraction of the muscle tissue that makes up the prostate. In this case, antispasmodic tablets are prescribed. They improve blood circulation and help the muscles relax, which reduces pain.
Note!Problems with urination require medications that reduce the tension in the urethra and bladder. Muscle relaxants have a good effect. They prevent muscle contraction in a painful way and make it much easier to go to the toilet.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with pills may also require the use of alpha-blockers. These drugs include a long course of administration and are prescribed for difficulty urinating and urinary retention. Such therapy helps to control the process of enlargement of the prostate gland and significantly reduces the intensity of the manifestation of painful symptoms.
The bacterial form of prostatitis implies mandatory treatment of prostatitis with tablets, which can have a targeted effect on the fight against pathogenic microorganisms.
Antibiotics can be administered intramuscularly as an inpatient treatment. But more often they are prescribed in the form of tablets for internal use. This is convenient for those who can not afford a long sick leave.
Conclusion
Antibiotics are an integral part of the treatment of acute prostatitis. The chronic process of inflammation of the prostate gland caused by a bacterial infection also involves a course of antibiotic therapy.
