Although antibiotics - the most common drugs for the treatment of urinary tract infections and, in particular, cystitis, increasingly in the treatment of this disease is observed insensitivity (resistance) some bacterial cultures to certain types of antibiotics. With the increasing incidence of occurrence of bacterial resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, the main drugs for the treatment of cystitis, all the more widespread quinolone class of antibiotics.

Beta-lactams

Beta-lactam - antibiotic several different groups with similar chemical properties: drugs of penicillins, cephalosporins and some other similar newer drugs.

According to statistics, however, to date, there is resistance to amoxicillin average twenty-five percent of all cases of bacterial cystitis, caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli. When resistance to amoxicillin for the treatment of cystitis can be assigned to amoxicillin-clavulanate (drug clavulanic acid).

Cephalosporins. Cephalosporin - antibiotics are used as an alternative measure in the treatment of cystitis cases where standard treatment of infection are not effective. Cephalosporins are often divided into first-, second- and third-generation. The most commonly used to treat cystitis drugs such as cephalexin, cefadroxil, cefuroxime, cefixime (supraks).

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole reduces the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.

If you are allergic to sulfa drugs for the treatment of cystitis trimethoprim applied in pure form, as an allergic reaction to the drug combination can be very sharp.

Fluorohinolony (quinolones)

Fluorohinolony (also known simply as quinolones) - a new generation of antibiotics, are increasingly used for the treatment of cystitis as an alternative to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The group of quinolones include ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin. Quinolone antibiotics are not recommended for pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding.

Tetracycline

For tetracycline antibiotics include doxycycline Doxycycline - penetrates into the tissue cells Tetracycline Tetracycline - a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic , Minocycline. These drugs are used to treat cystitis, complicated by Chlamydia Chlamydia: insidious and widespread disease . Tetracyclines are contraindicated for children and pregnant women because they can cause quite unusual side effects - including increased sensitivity of the skin to UV radiation, cause tooth discoloration Teeth Whitening - miracles are possible, but whether it is desirable? .

Aminoglycosides

Aminoglycosides (gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin) administered intravenously for the treatment of severe, complicated by bacterial infections of the urinary tract. Aminoglycosides are used only in combination with other antibiotics. The most common representative of the group of drugs most commonly used for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections - gentamicin, which can cause serious side effects such as hearing loss, loss of coordination, kidney damage.

Other drugs for the treatment of cystitis

Nitrofurantoin. Nitrofurantoin - antibiotic used specifically for the treatment of urinary tract infections (and, in particular, cystitis) as an alternative to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and quinolones. In contrast to other antibiotics, however, nitrofurantoin must be taken for seven to ten days, even in case of uncomplicated cystitis with minor symptoms. Nitrofurantoin is not used to treat infections of the kidneys. The most common side effects of the drug - disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, nitrofurantoin gives effects of many other drugs. Antibiotic treatment of cystitis is contraindicated in pregnant women, breastfeeding women, as well as kidney disease.

Fosfomycin. The antibiotic fosfomycin can be recommended for the treatment of cystitis in pregnant women to a single dose.

Prostatilen - a drug of animal origin used in diseases of the prostate. Also available prostatilen - zinc prostatilen action which is enhanced by the presence of zinc and vitamin E.

Lack of zinc in the body (eg the elderly) leads to impotence dystrophy (metabolic disorders), male sex glands and testicles, reduced sperm volume.

Alpha-tocopherol Vitamin E (tocopherol) - not to be carried away   (vitamin E) - strengthens the biological activity of the sperm cells, inhibits the formation of blood clots in the veins of small prostate, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant (binds toxic free radicals that destroy cells) action, inhibits the development of atherosclerosis.
