The course of treatment for the inflammatory process in the prostate gland may include the drug Amoxiclav. This remedy fights pathogenic agents inside the human body. The new generation antibiotic Amoxiclav for prostatitis is appropriate to use in cases where the disease is of a bacterial nature.

Description of the drug

Relieves pain and reduces body temperature in case of problems with the prostate gland

A combined drug that helps fight inflammatory processes in the body contains two active substances. These are clavulanic acid and amoxicillin. The first component enhances the effect of the second.

Thanks to its unique composition, Amoxiclav is effective in the fight against many pathogenic organisms, including those that cause prostatitis.

The drug is used to combat the following pathogens:

• gonorrhea pathogens;
• chlamydia;
• clostridia;
• enterococci;
• staphylococci;
• pathogens of mixed infections.

The drug is active against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens and anaerobes.

The biological availability of the drug is about 70%. 1 hour after the drug enters the body, the maximum concentration of its active substances in the blood occurs.

Amoxiclav is prescribed to patients whose prostatitis is accompanied by the following painful symptoms:

• pain and burning during urination;
• pain in the genitals and groin area;
• intoxication of the body;
• increased body temperature, which leads to fever.

Composition and release form

The drug is available in three different forms

Amoxiclav belongs to the group of new generation antibiotics. The drug is based on amoxicillin. This is the main active ingredient. It has a negative effect on most known pathogens that lead to inflammation. The second active substance is clavulanic acid. It increases the effectiveness of amoxicillin several times.

Amoxiclav is available in several dosage forms:

1. Pills. They are covered with a protective shell. Tablets are available in different dosages. They can be used for prostatitis. You will first need to dissolve the pills in water or simply chew them.
2. Suspensions. The most effective form of the drug for exacerbation of inflammation in the prostate gland. Its components are quickly absorbed by the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, so in a short period of time the active substance appears in the affected areas.
3. Powder for the preparation of injection solutions. This treatment option is used if the pathology suddenly makes itself felt and the man requires immediate help. The drug is administered intravenously. Thanks to this, the delivery time of active substances to the affected organ is significantly reduced.

The patient's attending physician decides which form of medication to choose. Men who had to treat prostatitis left positive reviews for all types of Amoxiclav.

Properties

The medication has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. It is also characterized by antipyretic and analgesic properties. Therefore, Amoxiclav is recommended for patients with acute inflammation in the prostate gland.

Dosage and regimen for prostatitis

The drug should be taken only after meals

Before starting treatment, the patient should discuss with the doctor the Amoxiclav dosage regimen and the duration of therapy.

Treatment of prostatitis with this drug is carried out in courses. They can range from 3 weeks to 1.5 months. The duration of therapy directly depends on the form of the inflammatory process and the dosage prescribed to the patient.

The drug is fast-acting. Patients feel significant relief 2-3 days after the first dose of the drug. If necessary, the doctor can adjust the Amoxiclav treatment regimen if its effect is insufficient.

Patients are prescribed to take 1-2 tablets after meals. Urologists recommend stopping at a dosage of 500 ml. In case of severe disease, pills are replaced with injections.

In the first days of illness, it is most effective to give Amoxiclav injections. Afterwards you can switch to tablets. By this time, the inflammation will subside a little. Instead of tablets, there may be suspensions.

The daily dosage of the drug for an adult man cannot exceed 1125 mg. You should take 375 mg of the medicine at a time. Before taking the tablet, you should dilute it in 100 ml of water or chew it thoroughly. This will allow the active substances to reach the affected area faster.

Amoxiclav injections can only be given by a trained nurse. The daily dose of the drug with this method of introducing it into the body is 1200 mg, divided into 2 injections.

Contraindications

Not all men diagnosed with prostatitis can take Amoxiclav. A drug with a pronounced antibacterial effect is prohibited for patients who have the following painful conditions:

• liver diseases;
• renal failure;
• lymphocytic leukemia;
• individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
• Infectious mononucleosis.

Before starting treatment, the patient must undergo diagnostics so that the doctor can make sure that he has no contraindications to the use of Amoxiclav. The effectiveness of therapy and the safety of the patient depend on this.

Antibiotic treatment is prescribed with caution to men who have acute diseases of the digestive tract. This also includes liver pathologies and pseudomembranous colitis.

Side effects

Involuntary muscle contractions in the arms or legs may occur

Taking Amoxiclav can lead to unwanted reactions from the body. The medication can cause the following side effects:

• lack of appetite;
• nausea;
• vomit;
• diarrhea;
• rashes on the body;
• liver dysfunction;
• darkening of tooth enamel;
• the appearance of blood impurities in the urine;
• dizziness;
• migraine;
• convulsions.

Patients who do not adhere to the correct course of treatment can expect this outcome.

Uncontrolled use of an antibacterial drug can lead to the development of resistance to its active substances in pathogenic microorganisms. As a result, it becomes ineffective in treating bacterial infection.

If any adverse reactions are detected, you must stop taking Amoxiclav and tell your doctor about what happened. He will find the cause of the problem and find the optimal solution for it.

Any antibiotic leads to inhibition of beneficial microflora of the mucous membranes. This outcome is likely even if the Amoxiclav dosage regimen is not violated. Therefore, the patient should think in advance about ways to restore the disturbed microflora and protect it.

It is difficult to avoid side effects if a patient takes an antibiotic for too long. Traditionally, the course of such treatment is limited to 14 days. After this, additional tests are performed that allow the doctor to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy. If the result is negative, the patient is transferred to treatment with another antibiotic agent.

Drug interactions

The active substance Amoxiclav reacts with many medications. This point should be taken into account by the doctor when preparing complex drug-based therapy.

The greatest danger to human health is the combination of the drug with anticoagulants or Methotrexate. In this case, therapy leads to increased toxic effects.

The interaction of the drug with other drugs may have the following outcome:

1. Deterioration in absorption of the active substance Amoxiclav when combined with chondroprotectors, antacids and aminoglycosides.
2. Improving the absorption of the active component of the drug when it interacts with ascorbic acid.
3. The appearance of rashes on the body when taken simultaneously with Allopurinol.
4. Increasing the concentration of the antibiotic when combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and diuretic medications.
5. Reduced antimicrobial effect when combining the drug with sulfonamides, tetracyclines and macrolides.

The patient must inform the doctor about the medications he is forced to take. Then the specialist will be able to choose the safest and most effective treatment option for prostatitis.

Price and analogues

Dosages are prescribed by a doctor, strictly individually

The cost of Amoxiclav depends on the form of release of the drug:

1. Powder for preparing suspensions – 280-360 rubles.
2. Tablets – 225-540 rubles.
3. Ampoules – 480-640 rubles.

If the patient is not suitable for the treatment of prostatitis with Amoxiclav selected by the doctor, he may ask for a replacement. The following drugs are analogues of antibiotics:

• "Solyutab";
• "Suprax";
• "Sumamed";
• "Augmentin".

It is strictly forbidden to try to independently choose a replacement for a drug recommended by a doctor. This task is best left to a specialist.

Reviews

Stanislav, 38 years old

I used the antibiotic Amoxiclav to treat prostatitis when I first heard my diagnosis. The doctor advised taking it, since the bacterial form of the disease required it. The drug does the job well. It was only after taking the pills that I developed an unpleasant rash on my body. There were also stomach pains. The doctor said that these are adverse reactions that do not pose a particular threat to health.

Valery, 40 years old

Stupidly I fell ill with bacterial prostatitis. Well, I was smart enough to seek help from a doctor in time. After passing the tests, he prescribed Amoxiclav. At first there were injections, then I switched to pills. The urologist promised improvement on the second day, but I noticed this only on the 4th day of treatment.

"Amoxiclav" for prostatitis

Inflammation of the prostate gland is an unpleasant and serious disease. Often the inflammatory process begins due to the penetration of harmful bacteria.

They affect the prostate, causing pain, discomfort and leading to the development of chronic complications.

In order to prevent relapses of the disease and stop the progression of the disease, specialists prescribe antibacterial agents to patients. Among them, the drug Amoxiclav is popular.

Antibiotic composition

This medicine is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. Doctors consider it to be a new generation of drugs.

Amoxiclav is a new generation antibiotic, which contains two important components

It includes:

1. Amoxicillin. This substance belongs to the penicillin group. It is produced semi-synthetically. The drug, due to the content of amoxicillin, has a detrimental effect on pathogenic bacteria.
2. Clavulanic acid. It is part of the drug to enhance its pharmacological action. Clavulanic acid promotes rapid absorption of the drug.

Drugs containing ampicillin are prescribed to patients in whom the following types of bacteria are found:

• aerobic microorganisms;
• anaerobic microorganisms.

These types include: staphylococcus, streptococcus, enterococcus, clostridia and others.

Release form of the medicine

"Amoxiclav" can be bought at any pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.

Manufacturers of this drug have provided for its release in several forms.

The drug is available in the following forms:

1. In suspensions. This form is convenient to use. Inflammation of the prostate often occurs in an acute form, and the medicine in the form of suspensions is absorbed faster than other forms of release.
2. In the form of tablets. The main advantage of the tablets is their ease of administration. You can take them with you on the road or to work. The tablets are coated in a special coating for easy swallowing.
3. In powder form. Amoxicillin for prostatitis in this form is intended for intravenous administration of the drug. Injections, as well as suspensions, are often prescribed to patients with acute prostatitis. If pain occurs when urinating and the condition worsens with high fever or other unpleasant sensations, then intravenous administration of the drug is immediately prescribed. Injections are characterized by the rapid action of the drug.

Indications for use of Amoxiclav

When is an antibiotic prescribed? Many doctors try to do without antibacterial therapy, but there are cases when the disease does not subside or other medications do not produce results. In this case, antibacterial treatment cannot be avoided.

If this disease is caused by harmful microorganisms, and this is confirmed by tests, the attending physician prescribes a course of treatment with the antibiotic Amoxiclav.

With the help of Amoxiclav, doctors treat:

• diseases of the respiratory system, which lead to complications such as bronchitis, tracheitis and pneumonia;
• bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract. The drug is appropriate when E. coli or salmonella is detected in the body;
• disorders in the genitourinary system. Cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis are dangerous diseases that can quickly become chronic;
• skin infections caused by streptococci or staphylococci.

What contraindications and side effects does the drug have? Antibiotics are serious medications, so they can only be prescribed by the attending physician, taking into account the severity of the disease, the severity of symptoms and the individual characteristics of the person. Self-medication is unacceptable, since antibiotics can cause side effects.

This remedy is contraindicated in the presence of:

• liver diseases, which are accompanied by the development of jaundice. In this case, the load on the organ increases. The liver will not fully cope with its function, and treatment will be in vain;

Kidney failure. For this disease, it is advisable not to take antibiotics at all.

• kidney problems (renal failure). Such a disorder in the body is often a compelling argument for refusing Amoxiclav;
• intolerance to the drug and other components of the penicillin group. To avoid an allergic reaction, you should undergo additional examination.

"Amoxiclav" causes the following adverse reactions:

• rashes on the body that look like hives;
• diarrhea;
• nausea;
• vomit;
• anxiety;
• insomnia;
• depressed state.

If you observe one of the listed reactions, you should stop taking the drug and seek help from a doctor. In this case, the drug is not absorbed and its beneficial properties are lost. The doctor will change the medicine and adjust the treatment regimen.

How to take Amoxiclav?

The dosage and course of treatment are prescribed individually by the doctor. You should not make decisions on your own.

Due to the effectiveness of the components of this drug, the course of treatment may not exceed several weeks or even days

Using an antibiotic without consulting a doctor can lead to the following consequences:

1. With prolonged use of the drug, bacteria develop resistance to the active substance. Instead of recovery, you risk developing a chronic form of the disease;
2. Without knowing your body, you can provoke an acute allergy to any of the components.
3. Antibacterial treatment has a detrimental effect not only on harmful bacteria, but also on beneficial ones. And their role is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to use the medicine only under the supervision of a doctor.

If, for inflammation of the prostate, a specialist prescribed a drug to a man in the form of tablets, then their dosage per day is no more than 350 mg. You need to take the tablets 3 times a day. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the case and usually does not exceed 14 days. At the end of the course of treatment, doctors conduct a second analysis and, on their basis, check the presence and activity of the pathogen.

How to take an antibiotic? If it is a suspension, then it must be diluted with warm water. The bottle indicates the water filling limit. This solution must be stored in the refrigerator. Intravenous injections are diluted with a small amount of water before administration.

Men who have undergone treatment with this antibiotic generally respond positively to it and this is due to its qualities.

Special instructions for use:

1. It is forbidden to drink an antibiotic while intoxicated.
2. If you take more dosage than prescribed, this may lead to gastrointestinal upset. If nausea and weakness appear, it is necessary to rinse the stomach.

Analogs

Amoxiclav is not the only drug that contains amoxicillin. You can find analogues of the medicine in the pharmacy. They differ only in dosage and method of administration.

Analogues of "Amoxiclav":

• "Augmentin";
• "Ranklav";
• "Arlet";
• "Medoclav".

For the treatment of the prostate, the effectiveness of Amoxiclav is obvious. It quickly destroys pathogenic microorganisms and promotes rapid recovery.

Patients who have experienced the effect of the drug note its easy digestibility and tolerability. The antibiotic is widely used in pediatrics for the treatment of bronchitis in children.

Many mothers noted the results of taking suspensions. The solution has a sweet taste, which makes it easier for children to take.

Amoxiclav for prostatitis

Amoxiclav for prostatitis is often used in situations where a person does not have the opportunity to undergo an appropriate medical examination. The drug belongs to the category of antimicrobial drugs. It contains active ingredients such as clavulanic acid and amoxicillin.

Amoxiclav has an inhibitory effect on various pathogenic microorganisms. The main ingredient of the medicine is amoxicillin. It is a semi-synthetic substance of the penicillin series. Amoxiclav is well tolerated by men, its cost is relatively low.

Efficiency

Amoxiclav is freely available and does not require a prescription to purchase it. But self-medication is still not recommended.

 It is best to discuss the issue of determining the dosage of the medication with your doctor.

Otherwise, a patient suffering from prostatitis may experience adverse side effects, and the susceptibility of bacteria to penicillin antibiotics will noticeably decrease.

The doctor will be forced to prescribe the patient stronger medications that have an adverse effect on the immune, digestive and nervous systems.

In most cases, the effect of using Amoxiclav is noticeable within a few days. The medication helps normalize urination, eliminates the feeling of discomfort in the pelvic area, and when used, the size of the prostate gland decreases. If on the fourth day of regular use of the drug the patient’s well-being does not improve, the dosage needs to be adjusted.

Dosage

Amoxiclav helps get rid of prostatitis. It is available in various dosage forms: tablets, suspension or powder. This powder is used to prepare a solution for injection.

The choice of a specific form of Amoxiclav depends on the severity of the disease and the severity of the symptoms of the pathology. In order to quickly improve the patient’s well-being, Amoxiclav injections should be given.

The active components of the drug quickly reach the site of the inflammatory process through the circulatory system.

The treatment regimen may change over time. If there is an acute form of prostatitis, the patient is recommended to take injections of the drug; after a few days he is prescribed Amoxiclav in tablet form. If there is a bacterial form of inflammation of the prostate gland, the patient is usually prescribed the drug in tablets or suspension.

The dosage of the suspension is clearly stated in the medication instructions: the patient’s body weight is taken as the basis for calculations. The powder used to prepare the suspension must be thoroughly shaken until it is completely dissolved. In this case, the drug is better absorbed by patients.

Amoxiclav tablets for prostatitis should be taken with a sufficient amount of water. They need to be chewed well. The optimal dosage for an adult male is 375 mg. It is recommended to take the tablets three times a day.

Side effects

When using Amoxiclav for prostatitis, various side effects may be observed. The following undesirable effects occur from the digestive system:

• Nausea;
• Vomit;
• Unpleasant sensations in the abdominal area;
• Liver problems;
• The appearance of signs of cholestatic jaundice.

The patient may develop an allergic rash on the skin, a feeling of anxiety, and convulsions. In some cases, when using Amoxiclav for prostatitis, kidney function is impaired and sleep deteriorates.

Contraindications

Amoxiclav should not be used if there is an individual sensitivity to the ingredients of the product. The medication is not allowed to be taken in case of severe liver diseases or infectious mononucleosis. If there are serious problems with the kidneys, Amoxiclav should be used with caution.

Notes

The daily dosage may be changed if liver function is impaired. If the patient has serious kidney disease, it is necessary to increase the interval between taking tablets or suspension.

Some people may ask such an important question: how to take Amoxiclav if a man has gastrointestinal diseases? In this case, you should take the medication with meals - this will reduce the likelihood of adverse events from the digestive system.

If the dose of medication is accidentally exceeded, the patient may experience the following symptoms:

• Diarrhea.
• Abdominal pain.
• Anxiety.
• Irritability.
• Lethargy.
• Sleep problems.
• Cramps.

The patient needs to be under the supervision of a doctor. The doctor conducts systematic therapy. The patient undergoes gastric lavage or hemodialysis. Amoxiclav does not reduce concentration, it does not affect the ability to control complex mechanisms. Therefore, it is ideal for adults engaged in mental work.

The drug is not recommended to be taken simultaneously with antacids, ascorbic acid, drugs for the treatment of diarrhea and drugs with diuretic properties.

Tsiprolet in the treatment of prostate inflammation

Tsiprolet belongs to the fluoroquinolones. The main active ingredient of the drug is ciprofloxacin. This substance can destroy bacterial DNA. The drug has a high absorption rate.

The maximum concentration of the drug in the body is reached an hour after consuming the antibiotic. The average duration of action of the medication is approximately 12 hours.

The drug gradually accumulates in organs and mucous membranes.

Tsiprolet stops the further spread of the pathological process in the body. The main active ingredient of the drug is ciprofloxacin, a substance that destroys the DNA of bacterial parts.

The recommended dosage of Tsiprolet for prostatitis is 500 mg twice a day. If the patient has kidney disease, the dose is usually halved. It is recommended to take the tablets before meals. The duration of the treatment course varies from 7 to 10 days. In the presence of severe prostatitis, the duration of taking Tsiprolet can be increased.

Tsiprolet is prohibited for use by boys under 18 years of age. It is not allowed to be used in case of hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, dysfunction of the hematopoietic system, epileptic attacks, or mental disorders. Tsiprolet is also contraindicated in case of severe pathologies of the liver and kidneys. It should not be drunk by elderly men over 60 years of age.

When used, various side effects may occur:

• Decreased appetite.
• Dizziness.
• Reduced blood pressure.
• Nausea.
• Pain in the head area.

Tsiprolet can cause insomnia and weakness . Caution should be exercised if the patient has diseases such as cerebral atherosclerosis or pathologies of the cardiovascular system.

Other antibiotics are also used to treat inflammation of the prostate gland. Before starting treatment, the patient is recommended to undergo a bacterial culture. This study will help determine the treatment strategy for prostatitis.

Amoxiclav for prostatitis: reviews, treatment regimen and dosage

Amoxiclav for prostatitis is a remedy for the etiological treatment of an inflammatory bacterial process.

The antibiotic belongs to the group of protected penicillins; it has a wide spectrum of action, destroying bacteria in the body.

The drug is prescribed by a specialist after a preliminary analysis to determine the sensitivity of pathogenic flora, and is taken in a course for 14–20 days.

Composition and properties of the drug

Amoxiclav is a combination drug consisting of amoxicillin (a penicillin type antibiotic and clavulanic acid).

Clavulanic acid is a substance that inhibits the activity of beta-lactamases of pathogenic microorganisms.

Once in the bloodstream, Amoxiclav reaches prostate tissue in maximum concentration and affects bacteria. A course of antibiotic has a bactericidal effect on microorganisms that cause prostatitis, such as:

• Staphylococcus aureus;
• Enterobacter spp.;
• Escherichia coli;
• Gardnerella vaginalis;
• Chlamydia spp;
• Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Therefore, the drug is indicated for conditions such as acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic inflammation of a bacterial nature. The disease can occur after sexual contact with an infected person or against a background of general weakness of the body and hypothermia. In other cases, for example, with prostate adenoma, this remedy will be ineffective.

Uncontrolled administration of Amoxiclav is not allowed due to the development of bacterial resistance to the active ingredients of the drug. The medication does not accumulate in the body and has good bioavailability (up to 70%). Peak concentrations are reached 1 hour after administration.

Ask a urologist a question!

Kolokolov V.N.

Who should take it?

Amoxiclav for the treatment of prostatitis is prescribed by a specialist when the patient is bothered by the following symptoms:

• pulling or cutting pain in the pelvis;
• difficulty urinating (small portions);
• general increase in body temperature to subfebrile levels (37.2–37.5 degrees);
• pain during urination;
• diseases of the genitourinary system;
• discharge from the urethra.

With these symptoms, you need to contact a urologist and carry out a bacterial culture of the microflora. If antibiotic-sensitive bacteria are identified, a course of drug therapy is prescribed. Amoxiclav is low-toxic and can be taken at any age. The dosage of the drug is reduced only in case of a history of renal or liver failure.

Contraindications and side effects

The drug for acute inflammation of the prostate cannot be used with the following concomitant pathologies:

• hypersensitivity to active substances and auxiliary components;
• decreased creatinine clearance (

Amoxiclav for prostatitis

Prostatitis is an exclusively male disease and develops when a variety of pathogenic microorganisms enter the prostate gland, which lead to the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate. This is why most specialists prescribe Amoxiclav for prostatitis, as it will help cope with pathogens.

Amoxiclav belongs to the category of antibacterial agents, so you cannot use it yourself; you must consult a doctor.

The drug can be used in situations where the patient does not have the opportunity to quickly get tested, but treatment must be started now, despite the fact that the pathogen has not yet been identified.

The medicine can be used in the treatment regimen for almost all forms of bacterial prostatitis, since it has a negative effect on most bacterial pathogens.

a brief description of

Amoxiclav is a new generation antibacterial drug. It contains two active ingredients: amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is the main ingredient of the medicine; it comes from the penicillin group.

To obtain it, pharmaceutical companies use a semi-synthetic method, thanks to which it is able to have an adverse effect on most pathogenic microorganisms that lead to the development of various pathological processes in the human body.

In combination with clavulanic acid, the effect of amoxicillin is enhanced and its absorption rate in the body increases.

The mechanism of action of this combination is that the cell membrane of viral agents and harmful bacteria is destroyed, followed by their death.

Release forms

The manufacturing company produces the drug in three dosage forms: tablets, powder for suspension, and powder for injection. The tablet form is covered with a special coating and is available in several dosages. When treating prostatitis, the tablet must first be dissolved in water or chewed in the mouth, and then washed down with water.

Powder for preparing a suspension is used to treat the inflammatory process of the prostate in the acute stage. For this type of pathology, it is better to use it, since it will be absorbed faster into the gastrointestinal tract and, when it enters the patient’s body, it begins to act almost immediately.

Amoxiclav has several forms of release, which allows it to be used for various forms of prostatitis

Powder for the preparation of injection solutions is used for the sudden development of prostatitis. During this period, the patient complains of intense pain and disruption of the urination process, namely the inability to empty the bladder normally. The resulting solution is administered intravenously, thanks to which the active substance quickly penetrates to the affected organ.

Unfortunately, in the modern world Amoxiclav is freely available, and any man can go to a pharmacy and buy it without consulting a doctor, but this should not be done.

The dosage of the drug, as well as the duration of the course, is determined only by the doctor.

If you do not follow these recommendations and take the medicine uncontrollably, then pathogenic microorganisms may become addicted to penicillin antibiotics, and the patient may develop a large number of adverse reactions.

In addition, if used incorrectly, a chronic form of prostatitis can develop, and then more serious treatment is necessary, which can lead to depression of body systems such as the immune, digestive and nervous. The first positive changes in the patient’s well-being can be noticed after just a few days of treatment with Amoxiclav.

General well-being improves, discomfort in the perineal area goes away, the process of urination improves, and the intensity of the inflammatory process decreases.

The treatment regimen provides for the elimination of symptoms after 4 days of treatment, but if no changes are observed, then it is worth reviewing the dosage of the drug or replacing it with another.

It is the doctor who systematically prescribes such drugs that will be able to correctly change or replace the treatment regimen.

As mentioned above, the combination of active ingredients of the drug leads to the destruction of the cell membrane of pathogens, after which they die.

A decrease in the number of bacterial colonies entails a decrease in the intensity of the inflammatory process, the pressure on the urethra drops, and accordingly, the process of emptying the bladder becomes easier, and the number of urges to go to the toilet is reduced.

Indications for use

Amoxiclav can affect not only the prostate gland, but also a number of other organs and systems, which is why it can be used in various pathological processes. Regarding inflammation of the prostate, the medicine can be used in the treatment of:

• prostatitis in chronic form;
• acute bacterial prostatitis;
• prostatitis with complications;
• calculous form of prostatitis during the period of exacerbation.

In addition, Amoxiclav can treat sinusitis, sinusitis, infections of the genitourinary system, bones and soft tissues.

Treatment of prostatitis with Amoxiclav can be carried out in any form of release, only the dose and dosage regimen will differ. All dosages, as well as the duration of administration, are prescribed only by a doctor. Below is a brief regimen for each dosage form. The tablet form, at a dose of 375 mg, is recommended to be consumed 3 times a day, the duration of the course should not exceed 2 weeks.

You should not take Amoxiclav on your own; only your doctor can choose the dosage and duration of treatment.

The volume of the finished suspension must be calculated based on the patient’s body weight. The course of treatment is no more than 14 days. The injection solution must be prepared from a ratio of 600 mg of medication per 10 ml of water for injection or other solvent. It is not recommended to administer more than 1200 mg per day.

This form of release is used only during periods of exacerbation of prostatitis, when the symptoms subside, the patient can be switched to tablets or a suspension. In some situations, it is possible to extend the course of treatment, but not longer than 30 days. Such decisions are made only by the doctor based on the results of laboratory tests.

Despite the fact that penicillin antibiotics very rarely cause side effects and have a minimum of contraindications, it is still worth paying attention to this point, since each person is individual and the body perceives the medication in a completely different way. Amoxiclav should not be used to treat prostatitis caused by chlamydia or other pathogens if the patient has renal failure.

In addition, absolute contraindications include:

Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis in men

• mononucleosis of infectious origin;
• cholestatic jaundice;
• lymphocytic leukemia;
• individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

Relative contraindications include acute pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, pseudomembranous colitis, and liver failure. Particular caution should be used in patients who simultaneously use anticoagulants. Among the side effects that develop while taking Amoxiclav are:

• allergic type reactions;
• disturbances in the functioning of the circulatory system;
• loss of appetite, nausea leading to vomiting;
• discoloration of tooth enamel;
• the presence of bloody discharge in the urine, crystals and interstitial nephritis;
• presyncope, convulsive episodes, migraine attacks.

The combination of Amoxiclav with anticoagulants should be strictly controlled by specialists

If at least one of the above points is present, then you should stop taking the medicine and consult a doctor about further actions.

Reviews

Reviews about Amoxiclav are very varied, but positive ones still prevail, since it helped the majority of patients a lot and, one might say, saved their family life.

Semyon:
With the advent of prostatitis in my life, sexual activity dropped to zero, which greatly disappointed my companion. After a course of treatment with Amoxiclav, everything returned to normal, and it became even better.

Anton:
I took the injection form during the period of exacerbation of the pathological process, and immediately after the first dose of the medicine the severity of the symptoms decreased.

Amoxiclav belongs to the category of antibacterial agents, so its independent use is not recommended. Regardless of the type of prostatitis, you should first visit a doctor, because he will help you choose the required dose and duration of treatment.

Features of using Amoxiclav for prostatitis

Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease that can occur against the background of degenerative disorders and infectious diseases of the prostate gland. Inflammation of the prostate caused by bacteria requires treatment with antibacterial drugs, one of them is Amoxiclav.

Amoxiclav belongs to the group of penicillins; it fights well against strepococci, staphylococci, Klibsiella, enterobacteria, salmonella and a number of other bacteria. It is used for chronic and acute prostatitis caused by Enterobacteriaceae, as it accumulates in sufficient concentration in the prostate and quickly eliminates the infection.

Amoxiclav for prostatitis: treatment regimen

The dosage should be prescribed by a urologist-andrologist. Under no circumstances should you start taking an antibiotic on your own; the patient’s incorrect action can lead to a worsening of the condition. It is also not recommended to discontinue the drug ahead of time; you need to drink Amoxiclav strictly for the entire prescribed period of treatment.

Depending on the severity of the disease, the doctor chooses the dosage of the drug. Amoxiclav 500 mg + 125 mg is prescribed for acute and chronic prostatitis with moderate infection. In more severe cases, the doctor may increase the dosage by prescribing 876 mg + 125 mg.

The first number in the dosage indicates the amount of amoxicillin, and the second - clavulanic acid. Take the drug twice a day, at regular intervals.

The drug can be purchased in the form of tablets, injection solution and suspension. Men with prostatitis are usually prescribed pills or injections. The course of treatment lasts at least 5 days, but the duration of therapy can increase significantly, it all depends on the severity of the case. As a rule, recommendations on the duration of treatment are given by the attending physician.

Contraindications

Amoxiclav is an effective and fairly fast antibiotic, but it should not be taken in the following cases:

• with sensitivity to cephalosporins and penicillins;
• if you are allergic to the components of the drug;
• for lymphocytic leukemia and mononucleosis;
• It is also prohibited to undergo treatment for severe pathologies of the liver and kidneys.

If the patient has these restrictions, then before starting therapy it is necessary to inform them to the attending physician. In this case, the specialist will select another antibiotic for prostatitis, which will be no less effective, but safer for the patient.

Conclusion

Amoxiclav is an effective remedy for bacterial prostatitis, as evidenced by multiple positive reviews from patients. But you can take such a drug only as prescribed by a doctor, in the dosages that he recommends. If you drink an antibiotic uncontrollably, the bacteria will soon become resistant to it, and treatment will be ineffective.

How does this antibiotic work?

Amoxiclav belongs to the group of semisynthetic penicillins, i.e. contains antimicrobial substances of natural and artificial origin.

The medicine consists of two components - amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. The first provides a bactericidal effect (kills bacteria), and the second inhibits the development of resistance (addiction of the body) to the drug and helps destroy microorganisms with resistance to other antibiotics.

The advantages of using amoxiclav for bacterial prostatitis is that it actively suppresses the vital activity of streptococci, staphylococci, gardnerella, chlamydia, salmonella, shigella, clostridia, enterococci, proteus, i.e. those microorganisms that most often cause inflammation of the male reproductive gland.

When taking tablet forms, the medicine is quickly and evenly absorbed through the digestive system, its highest concentration is observed in the body an hour after swallowing the pill. The drug is excreted through urine.

After intravenous administration, amoxiclav begins to act 5-10 minutes after injection.

Indications

• Acute bacterial prostatitis.
• Chronic forms of the disease in the acute stage.
• Presence of resistance when treating infection with other antibiotics.
• Complicated inflammation of the prostate gland.
• Combined inflammation (prostatitis + cystitis or urethritis).

Contraindications to antibiotic treatment

1. Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, i.e. allergy.
2. Systemic infectious pathologies: mononucleosis, lymphocytic leukemia.
3. Chronic liver and kidney diseases.

Amoxiclav is used with caution for gastritis and enteritis, inflammation of the pancreas and gall bladder, metabolic pathologies, blood diseases, and immunodeficiencies.

How to take the drug?

Amoxiclav is usually prescribed for acute prostatitis in tablets; the doctor prescribes the dosage and regimen for taking this drug. Standard treatment of uncomplicated forms of prostate inflammation includes the use of the drug 2-3 times a day for 7-10 days. Amoxiclav is drunk after meals with a sip of water.

Injections are given in rare cases and are used in the treatment of purulent processes. To do this, ampoules with powder are dissolved in an injection solution (60 mg per 1 ml of distilled water), drawn into a syringe and very slowly injected into a vein (3-5 minutes). The course of treatment is 3-5 days, then doctors switch patients to tablets.

Attention!

The drug is not used intramuscularly! Unauthorized introduction into the buttock area can cause the formation of multiple hemorrhages (bruises), subcutaneous infiltrates or abscesses.

Thus, the dosage of amoxiclav for prostatitis is calculated individually in each case, as well as the selection of forms of the drug for course treatment. This takes into account the causative agent of the infection, the course of the disease, the presence of complications, and the characteristics of the patient’s health and immunity.

Adverse reactions

Amoxiclav, used in the treatment of prostate inflammation, is usually well tolerated by men.

Negative manifestations are found in the form of digestive disorders and disorders of the nervous system.

Patients may complain of nausea and heaviness in the epigastrium, diarrhea and increased gas formation, sleep disturbance and excessive irritability. Sometimes skin reactions may occur - the appearance of urticaria.
