Medicines for infections. Medicines for the treatment of infectious diseases. Role in the incubation period

Antibiotics for genital infections should always be used, since it is these drugs that contribute to the destruction of pathogens. You need to know that not all diseases of the genital organs are transmitted exclusively through sexual contact, many of them can be transmitted by contact. But they all require antibiotic treatment.

What antibiotics are prescribed for sexually transmitted infections?

Most of the pathogens that cause are of a bacterial nature, so it is logical that they are treated with antibacterial agents. This has been known since the 1930s, when syphilis and gonorrhea (penicillin injections) began to be treated with antibiotics. The biggest problem of modern antibiotic therapy is the resistance of pathogens. Scientists invent more and more new groups of antibiotics to fight diseases, but even this is sometimes ineffective.
Currently, a little more than 200 types of antibiotics are known, each of which has dozens of analogues:
  • One of the first groups of drugs used for a long time for the treatment of sexual diseases - penicillin group. The well-known drug "Bicillin-5" has long been used to combat syphilis. Today, little has changed, its high dose of 2 million units is used for prevention after sexual intercourse with an infected partner, as well as for the treatment of secondary syphilis. Medical procedures are usually carried out in stationary conditions. Such treatment continues for at least two weeks.

    The fact of the disease with this disease is established on the basis of the result of a blood test. Learn more about testing for syphilis.

  • Group of cephalosporins. They are drugs with a large spectrum of action, characterized by high resistance to the enzymes of virulent bacteria. The most common and best known antibiotic of this group is Ceftriaxone. An effective drug to combat pale treponema, which is the causative agent of syphilis, as well as gonococci. If gonorrhea is detected in a patient, a single injection of the drug with a dose of 270 mg is used.
  • Macrolides- drugs that are used for infection of the genital organs as reserve drugs, that is, in the absence of results of treatment with previous drugs. Or when the patient has allergic reactions to other drugs. The most popular drugs in this group are Azithromycin and Erythromycin. "Azithromycin" can be used to treat both gonorrhea and syphilis. Also, its effectiveness has been proven when these two diseases are combined with, which happens quite often. The dose of an antibiotic to combat syphilis is 600 mg daily for ten days, and in the case of gonorrhea and chlamydia, twice the dose is used - 1 g, but once. "Erythromycin" patients with syphilis take four times a day at a dose of 600 mg for two weeks, and for chlamydia - at least 10 days. These drugs are also used for venereal lymphogranulomatosis.
  • From aminoglycoside groups for the treatment of gonorrhea, an antibiotic such as "Spectinomycin" is used. Men are prescribed at a dose of 2 mg orally once, and for women, due to their anatomical and physiological characteristics, a dose twice as large - 4 g orally once.
  • From tetracycline groups use the antibiotic of the same name - "Tetracycline" at a dose of 500 mg four times a day. The duration of the treatment course depends entirely on the stage of the disease:
    • 14 days of preventive therapy;
    • 25 days for primary syphilis;
    • 40 days in case of recurrence of syphilis;
    • chlamydia is treated with the same dose for 7-14 days.
  • Fluoroquinolones- modern antibiotics used to treat gonorrhea at a dose of 400 mg orally. The most famous representative of this group is Ofloxacin.
  • Nitroimidazole derivatives- a group of antibiotics used to treat trichomoniasis. A well-known representative of this group is Metronidazole, which is prescribed at a dose of 500 mg twice a day orally for one week. Only mild forms are treated for three days.
Of course, it is better that an experienced doctor who has extensive experience in the treatment of such diseases chooses an antibiotic. Before prescribing this or that antibiotic in specialized institutions, your individual sensitivity to the drug will be determined, which will ensure a higher effectiveness of treatment.

You also need to be aware of the possibility of side effects that can be triggered by antibiotics. If these are injectable forms, then a test is required before prescribing. If at the same time you are sick with something else, then only a doctor should select the medicines, since only he can determine the appropriate drug.

When choosing a drug, you should also consider the manufacturer. Domestic drugs will be cheaper, but less effective. Foreign-made analogues can cost two or even three times more, but will be more effective.


A video is presented to your attention in which a specialist talks about antibiotics for STDs: when they are needed, what is needed to choose the right drug, etc.

When is antibiotics needed?

Antibiotics are necessary in case of diagnosis of any infectious disease of the genital organs. The lack of treatment of such diseases leads to serious complications, the most common of which is infertility. You should also understand that if left untreated, you will be a carrier of a disease that can be transmitted not only to your sexual partner, but also to the fetus during pregnancy in women.

Sometimes venereal pathologies are found in people during a routine medical examination, when the patient still does not feel unwell. In this case, a course of antibiotic treatment is also prescribed.

At the first incomprehensible changes in the state of health, contact a specialist. Do not hesitate to tell the doctor about things related to your intimate life, this can be decisive for you when making a diagnosis, and for a doctor this is just part of the daily work. And do not forget that if you are sick, then you should take care of the safety of others.

Can antibiotics be taken prophylactically?

Antibiotics must be taken if unprotected sexual contact has occurred with a possible potential patient, because it is better to prevent a problem than to be treated for a long time. In such cases, a small prophylactic dose is taken, which will not bring side effects, but will protect you from possible illness. The drug in this case can eliminate the infection at the stage of its inception.

It is necessary to carefully read the annotation to it before taking the drug. If you find contraindications in it with a description of your body specifics, then you should refuse to take such a medicine. Instead of this drug, the doctor will be able to choose an antibiotic similar in action for you.

To get away from solving all these problems, you should remember that avoiding infection is much easier than curing it later. Avoid unprotected contact, especially when you don't know everything about your partner's health. It is worth knowing that diseases of this kind can be contracted not only through sexual contact, but also in everyday life (the risk is negligible, but still there). Therefore, avoid contact with other people's hygiene products.

You can take antibiotics for prophylactic purposes only after consulting with specialists, and in no case should you prescribe drugs yourself. You also need to make sure that the drug you have been prescribed works well with any other medications you are currently taking.

Allergic reaction to antibiotics


The patient's body, when a foreign protein enters it, can react unpredictably. A rash may appear on the skin, a severe runny nose may begin, in some cases anaphylactic shock is observed. There are also known cases of death due to the use of antibiotics.

In order to prevent such a development of events, it is necessary to tell your doctor in detail about those drugs to which you already had an allergy. The first allergic reaction to the drug occurs within a few hours after taking it. The following crisis symptoms may appear immediately upon repeated use. In this case, it is necessary to immediately cancel the prescribed course of treatment and pick up new drugs to fight the infection.

If the nature of the disease is not bacterial, but viral, antibiotics are not needed. There are cases in which antibiotics are not needed. For example, it is pointless to treat genital herpes with an antibiotic, since there will be no effect. This disease is of a viral nature and is treated with antiviral drugs. Antibiotics in this case will only harm your body.

What are the best antibiotics?

There are no better or worse antibiotics - there are either effective drugs or not. And in each case it is individual, depending on the characteristics of the patient's body. Accurate diagnosis is the key to successful treatment, so the first thing you need is to correctly determine the diagnosis. You can not be treated on your own and take all the medicines in a row. So you can blur the picture of the disease, but not eliminate its cause.

To correctly diagnose, you need, firstly, to visit a competent dermatologist, and secondly, to undergo

The comfortable existence of a person is regularly disturbed by the invasion of numerous infections of viruses, fungi, bacteria that can seriously worsen one's well-being. Since ancient times, knowing about the insidious possibilities of its invisible enemy, mankind has been looking for sure means to resist it.

With all the drug abundance, one should not make an impulsive choice of remedy, for example, based on price, cover design and persuasiveness of television advertising.

When choosing, the following parameters are taken into account:

1. Specificity of the infection. The main cure for infection of bacterial origin should be sought among sulfonamides and antibiotics. Which drug will give the proper effect in the fight against a particular type of bacteria, only a specialist can advise. You can, of course, choose antibiotics that have an effect on all types of microbes (for example, Ampicillin, Levomycetin), but the consequences in the form of damaged microflora of the body will be inevitable.

A viral infection is useless and even dangerous to treat with antibiotics. For this, there are special antiviral agents. In overcoming the negative effects of influenza, as well as for its prevention, they have proven themselves: Remantadin, Kagocel, Antigrippin. Acyclovir and others are used to treat herpes infection.

The generation of antifungal drugs is currently on the market extremely widely. What the patient chooses - Lamisil tablets or Flucinar ointment - it depends on the characteristics of the disease and individual preferences.

2. Dosage form of the drug. Some ailments do not leave the choice of an acceptable form of the drug. It is difficult to treat festering wounds without the use of topical antibiotic ointments (eg, Synthomycin Ointment).

In the treatment of acute adnexitis, Ciprofloxacin tablets can be supplemented with Diclofenac rectal suppositories. The choice of dosage form is influenced by the age and characteristics of the patient's condition. A patient in serious condition is shown intravenous administration of a drug that has a more rapid effect than taking capsules.

The appointment of injections is more appropriate for violations of the gastrointestinal tract in order to avoid undesirable consequences. The same form of treatment will cause protest in the child, so it is better to offer him a syrup that tastes good and has healing properties.

But it is worth remembering that all drugs that destroy the infection, especially potent ones, have side effects. Is there a reasonable way out in this situation?

Bacteriophages - innovative protection of civilization from infections

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in preparations containing bacteriophages, that is, viruses that destroy bacteria. Their undoubted advantage is that they destroy only pathogenic microflora, without affecting the useful, moreover, in a natural and safe way for the body.

Such drugs have already shown their effectiveness in the treatment of infections of the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary system. These natural orderlies can also be used for the prevention of diseases in all population groups, as well as in veterinary medicine.

Judging by the rapid development of the production of bacteriophages in the West, we can confidently say: "The future belongs to these safe drugs that stop infectious aggression."

One of the most common reasons for visiting a urologist today are genitourinary infections (URIs), which should not be confused with STIs. The latter are sexually transmitted, while MPI are diagnosed at any age and occur for other reasons.

Bacterial damage to the organs of the excretory system is accompanied by severe discomfort - pain, burning, frequent urge to empty the bladder, the release of a pathological secret from the urethra. In severe infections, intense febrile and intoxication symptoms may develop.

The best treatment option is the use of modern antibiotics, which allow you to get rid of the pathology quickly and without complications.

Genitourinary infections include several types of inflammatory processes in the urinary system, which includes the kidneys with ureters (they form the upper sections of the urinary tract), as well as the bladder and urethra (lower sections):

  • - inflammation of the parenchyma and pyelocaliceal system of the kidneys, accompanied by pain in the lower back of varying intensity, as well as severe intoxication and feverish symptoms (lethargy, weakness, nausea, chills, muscle and joint pain, etc.).
  • - an inflammatory process in the bladder, the symptoms of which are frequent urge to urinate with an accompanying feeling of incomplete emptying, sharp pains, sometimes blood in the urine.
  • Urethritis is a lesion of the urethra (the so-called urethra) by pathogens, in which purulent discharge appears in the urine, and urination becomes painful. There is also a constant burning sensation in the urethra, dryness and cramps.

There can be several reasons for urinary tract infections. In addition to mechanical damage, pathology occurs against the background of hypothermia and a decrease in immunity, when conditionally pathogenic microflora is activated. In addition, infection often occurs due to poor personal hygiene, when bacteria enter the urethra from the perineum. Women get sick much more often than men at almost any age (with the exception of the elderly).

Antibiotics in the treatment of MPI

In the vast majority of cases, the infection is bacterial in nature. The most common pathogen is a representative of enterobacteria - Escherichia coli, which is detected in 95% of patients. Less common are S.saprophyticus, Proteus, Klebsiella, entero- and.

Also often the disease is caused by mixed flora (association of several bacterial pathogens).

Thus, even before laboratory tests, the best option for infections of the genitourinary system will be treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Modern antibacterial drugs are divided into several groups, each of which has a specific mechanism of bactericidal or bacteriostatic action. Some drugs are characterized by a narrow spectrum of antimicrobial activity, that is, they have a detrimental effect on a limited number of varieties of bacteria, while others (broad spectrum) are designed to combat different types of pathogens. It is the antibiotics of the second group that are used to treat urinary tract infections.

Penicillins

The first ABPs discovered by man were almost universal means of antibiotic therapy for quite a long time. However, over time, pathogenic microorganisms mutated and created specific defense systems, which required the improvement of medications.

At the moment, natural penicillins have practically lost their clinical significance, and instead of them, semi-synthetic, combined, and inhibitor-protected antibiotics of the penicillin series are used.

Genitourinary infections are treated with the following drugs of this series:

  • . Semi-synthetic drug for oral and parenteral use, acting bactericidal by blocking the biosynthesis of the cell wall. It is characterized by rather high bioavailability and low toxicity. It is especially active against Proteus, Klebsiella and Escherichia coli. In order to increase resistance to beta-lactamases, the combined agent Ampicillin / Sulbactam ® is also prescribed.
  • . In terms of the spectrum of antimicrobial action and effectiveness, it is similar to the previous ABP, but it is distinguished by increased acid resistance (it does not break down in an acidic gastric environment). Its analogues and are also used, as well as combined antibiotics for the treatment of the genitourinary system (with clavulanic acid) - Amoxicillin / Clavulanate ® , ® ,.

Recent studies have revealed a high level of resistance of uropathogens to ampicillin and its analogues.

For example, the sensitivity of Escherichia coli is slightly more than 60%, which indicates the low effectiveness of antibiotic therapy and the need to use other groups of antibiotics. For the same reason, the antibiotic sulfanilamide () is practically not used in urological practice.

Recent studies have revealed a high level of resistance of uropathogens to ampicillin ® and its analogues.

Cephalosporins

Another group of beta-lactams with a similar effect, differing from penicillins in increased resistance to the destructive effects of enzymes produced by pathogenic flora. There are several generations of these medications, and most of them are intended for parenteral administration. From this series, the following antibiotics are used to treat the genitourinary system in men and women:

  • . An effective medicine for inflammation of all organs of the urogenital area for oral administration with a minimum list of contraindications.
  • (Ceclor ® , Alfacet ® , Taracef ®). It belongs to the second generation of cephalosporins and is also used orally.
  • and its analogues Zinacef ® and. Available in several dosage forms. They can be prescribed even to children of the first months of life due to low toxicity.
  • . Sold in the form of a powder for the preparation of a solution, which is administered parenterally. Substitutes are also Rocephin ® .
  • (Cefobid ®). A representative of the third generation of cephalosporins, which is administered intravenously or intramuscularly for genitourinary infections.
  • (Maxipim ®). The fourth generation of antibiotics of this group for parenteral use.

These drugs are widely used in urology, but some of them are contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women.

Fluoroquinolones

The most effective antibiotics to date for genitourinary infections in men and women. These are powerful synthetic drugs of bactericidal action (death of microorganisms occurs due to disruption of DNA synthesis and destruction of the cell wall). They are highly toxic antibacterial agents. They are poorly tolerated by patients and often cause undesirable effects from ongoing therapy.

Contraindicated in patients with individual intolerance to fluoroquinolones, patients with CNS pathologies, epilepsy, persons with kidney and liver pathologies, pregnant women, breastfeeding, and patients under 18 years of age.

  • . Taken orally or parenterally, it is well absorbed and quickly eliminates painful symptoms. It has several analogues, including Tsiprinol ® .
  • ( , Tarivid ®). The antibiotic fluoroquinolone is widely used not only in urological practice due to its effectiveness and wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity.
  • (). Another drug for oral, as well as intravenous and intramuscular use. It has the same indications and contraindications.
  • Pefloxacin ® (). Also effective against most aerobic pathogens, taken parenterally and orally.

These antibiotics are also shown in mycoplasma, since they act on intracellular microorganisms better than the previously widely used tetracyclines. A characteristic feature of fluoroquinolones is a negative effect on connective tissue. It is for this reason that drugs are forbidden to be used before reaching the age of 18, during periods of pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as to persons diagnosed with tendonitis.

Aminoglycosides

A class of antibacterial agents intended for parenteral administration. The bactericidal effect is achieved by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins, mainly gram-negative anaerobes. At the same time, the drugs of this group are characterized by rather high rates of nephro- and ototoxicity, which limits the scope of their application.

  • . A drug of the second generation of aminoglycoside antibiotics, which is poorly adsorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and therefore is administered intravenously and intramuscularly.
  • Netilmecin ® (Netromycin ®). Belongs to the same generation, has a similar effect and a list of contraindications.
  • . Another aminoglycoside, effective for urinary tract infections, especially complicated ones.

Due to the long half-life, these drugs are used only once a day. They are prescribed for children from an early age, but lactating women and pregnant women are contraindicated. Antibiotics-aminoglycosides of the first generation in the treatment of urinary tract infections are no longer used.

Nitrofurans

Broad-spectrum antibiotics for infections of the genitourinary system with a bacteriostatic effect, which manifests itself in relation to both gram-positive and gram-negative microflora. At the same time, resistance in pathogens is practically not formed.

These drugs are intended for oral use, and food only increases their bioavailability. For the treatment of urinary tract infections, Nitrofurantoin ® (trade name Furadonin ®) is used, which can be given to children from the second month of life, but not to pregnant and lactating women.

The antibiotic trometamol, which does not belong to any of the above groups, deserves a separate description. It is sold in pharmacies under the trade name Monural and is considered a universal antibiotic for inflammation of the genitourinary system in women.

This bactericidal agent for uncomplicated forms of inflammation of the urinary tract is prescribed as a one-day course - 3 grams of fosfomycin ® once (according to indications - twice). Approved for use at any stage of pregnancy, practically does not give side effects, can be used in pediatrics (from 5 years old).

cystitis and urethritis

As a rule, cystitis and a nonspecific inflammatory process in the urethra occur simultaneously, so there is no difference in their antibiotic therapy. In uncomplicated forms of infection, the drug of choice is.

Also, for uncomplicated infections in adults, a 5-7 day course of fluoroquinolones (Ofloxacin ® , Norfloxacin ® and others) is often prescribed. Reserves are Amoxicillin/Clavulanate ® , Furadonin ® or Monural ® . Complicated forms are treated similarly, but the course of antibiotic therapy lasts at least 1-2 weeks.

For pregnant women, Monural ® is the drug of choice; beta-lactams (penicillins and cephalosporins) can be used as an alternative. Children are prescribed a seven-day course of oral cephalosporins or Amoxicillin ® with potassium clavulanate.

Additional Information

It should be borne in mind that complications and a severe course of the disease require mandatory hospitalization and treatment with parenteral drugs. Oral medications are usually prescribed on an outpatient basis. As for folk remedies, they do not have a special therapeutic effect and cannot be a substitute for antibiotic therapy. The use of infusions and decoctions of herbs is permissible only by agreement with the doctor as an additional treatment.

Intestinal infections, as a sudden and acute disruption of the body, affect the action of not only the main affected systems, but also the body as a whole. How to prevent them, how to overcome them, what medicines for intestinal infections will be effective, you need to know now so as not to face this trouble face to face.

Types of intestinal infections

The whole variety of intestinal infections includes only four types of pathogens:

  • infections - among these, viruses are distinguished that affect the main human organs (polioviruses, Coxsackie A and B viruses, enteroviruses) that can cause paralysis, affect the central nervous system, liver and pose a direct threat to the life of the body. As well as viruses that are limited to intestinal symptoms: diarrhea and gastroenteritis of varying severity (rotaviruses, intestinal adenoviruses, astroviruses and coronaviruses).
  • Bacterial intestinal infections - the leading role in bacterial intestinal infections is played by enterotoxins, which are secreted by bacteria in the course of their life activity (E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Klebsiella). Regardless of the characteristics of the processes occurring in the intestines, any of the pathogens causes a diarrheal syndrome with the removal of water from the body and the washing out of both harmful and beneficial substances. Leads to a violation of the water-electrolyte balance.
  • Fungal intestinal infections - more often caused by fungi of the genus Candida.
  • Protozoal infections - giardiasis, amoebiasis.

The definition of the pathogen plays an important role in choosing a cure for poisoning or intestinal infection.

Symptoms of intestinal infections

Depending on the degree of poisoning, the type of pathogen and the amount of poisonous substance entering the body, the symptoms will vary from pronounced to diseases with poor general symptoms. Intestinal symptoms are common to many intestinal infections.

  • Diarrhea is the first obvious manifestation of an intestinal infection. It has the appearance of unformed feces of a different nature (from mushy, abundant watery, to the release of a meager amount of feces with an abundance of mucus, blood elements). Diarrhea manifests itself from three times a day and intensifies and becomes more frequent with the severity of the disease.
  • Constipation is also a variant of the development of an intestinal infection, with which watery feces cannot come out due to the formation of fecal plugs. The retention of stool in the intestinal lumen leads to reabsorption of toxic components into the body and the manifestation of a general decrease in immune forces.
  • Temperature increase - up to 37.5 in the initial stages of the disease, up to 38.5-39 in acute or undiagnosed disease.
  • General weakness, fatigue - an increase in the volume of circulating blood of toxic toxins leads to the development of general intoxication of the body.
  • Feeling aches - as a consequence of the inflammatory process in the body and the fight against it. Accompanied by high temperature.
  • Abdominal pains are often sharp, spasmodic in nature, temporarily passing into a rest phase, and then recurring with more frequent intervals.
  • Nausea and vomiting are an example of an inflammatory process that has already spread throughout the body with a stream of toxic toxins.

In the acute course of the disease, frequent diarrhea, the symptoms become more pronounced, the pain intensifies, the intestinal syndrome worsens and brings even more inconvenience. And the need to use drugs for intestinal infections is increasing.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of intestinal infections consists of a survey and laboratory research methods.

Treatment is based on the removal of pathogenic organisms and toxins from the circulation. It is directed against the pathogen as the cause of the disease and is inextricably linked with the diagnosis. Treatment is not aimed at suppressing symptoms, but at removing dangerous substances and restoring the strength of the body as a whole.

Depending on the severity of the disease, it can be carried out at home or in a hospital, under the supervision of medical staff.

It consists in the use of medicines for intestinal infections by patients, drinking plenty of water to restore water balance and general strengthening of the body due to enhanced nutrition with the necessary set of trace elements and vitamins.

Treatment of intestinal infections with folk remedies

Traditional medicine is good for intestinal infections with unexpressed symptoms, in the absence of an exacerbation stage.

  • St. John's wort herb decoction - pour one and a half tablespoons of chopped grass with a glass of boiling water, heat in a water bath, and then dilute the resulting decoction to its original state. Use at least three times a day, two days, store the decoction in the refrigerator.
  • A decoction of oak bark - pour 10 g of oak bark with a glass of boiling water, boil for 20 minutes and consume 5 times a day before meals.
  • They help relieve the symptoms of intoxication decoctions from the root of calamus or marshmallow.

Also, as a cure for intestinal infections, various herbal preparations (alder cones, cinquefoil root, nettle leaves) can be used.

Remedies for intestinal infections

Emergency care is needed for acute intestinal infections with severe diarrheal and intoxication syndrome: with defecation eight times a day, including cholera, when the feces take on the form

In this case, an indispensable cure for intestinal infections is:


Intestinal infection cure for children

In acute intestinal disorders in children under three years of age, treatment requires the immediate intervention of specialists. With a mild degree of severity of the course of the disease, when there are no pronounced pain symptoms, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea is mild (2-3) times a day, feces are mushy, with a small amount of mucus, therapy can be carried out at home.

It is very important to choose a cure for an intestinal infection for children, since their body is very weak and even slight dehydration can lead to irreparable negative consequences.

In addition to the standard restoration of water-salt balance, the following medicines for intestinal infections are used:

  • "Smecta" - a powder for the preparation of a suspension, used for children from the moment of birth, eliminates intestinal symptoms, including bloating. Up to 1 year - 1 sachet 1 time per day, older than 2 years - up to 3 sachets per day.
  • "Stopdiar" is a ready-made suspension, suitable for children from 2 months of age, 1 scoop is used 1-2 times a day.
  • "Enterogel" - a sorbent of a pasty consistency, is used in children under 1 year old, 5 (ml) 2 times a day.

With light, but frequent bowel movements, as a cure for intestinal infection, biological preparations are used (Lacidophil, Linex, Enterogermina).

Prevention of intestinal infections

  • Clean hands. Clean vegetables and fruits for food.
  • Compliance with the rules of cooking.
  • Sufficient heat treatment of meat products and eggs.
  • Strengthening immunity. The use of drugs for the prevention of intestinal infections: biological products "Bifidumbacterin", "Acilact", "Enterogermina".

Many people wonder if there are medicines to prevent intestinal infections. As such, they are not, it will be enough to follow the above recommendations.

Factors predisposing to infection

  • An organism weakened by a disease.
  • An organism with a violation in the composition of the intestinal microflora in dysbacteriosis.
  • hereditary factor.
  • Wrong nutrition.

Medicines for intestinal infections at sea

Medicines for intestinal infections for the treatment and prevention of diseases while on vacation are best chosen in a ready-to-use form. For children, these will be suspensions of Nifuroxazide, Stopdiar, Enterogermina - a liquid enriched with live bacteria in vials. For adults, Activated Charcoal capsules and tablets are suitable. Powder "Regidron" for poisoning, accompanied by severe vomiting.

Help with acute intestinal infections and body poisoning

The medicine for intestinal infection is prescribed exclusively by a doctor. You can only provide first aid to the patient.

It consists in rehydration, the use of drugs aimed at removing the infection from the body, urgent hospitalization in an outpatient clinic to provide adequate treatment until complete recovery. In no case do not drown out the symptoms by taking painkillers. The appearance of blood streaks in the feces indicates the severity of the disease and requires urgent treatment.

Drug Priorities

What medicines for intestinal infections to use, you choose. Pay attention when choosing dosage forms of drugs, especially when it comes to young children. Recently, doctors are increasingly paying attention to such a medicine as "Enterofuril", it is available in capsules and in the form of a suspension, it has a small number of side effects.

At the beginning of treatment and a mild degree of manifestation of the disease, leave the choice to the simplest preparations: "Activated Carbon", "Smecta". No need to overload the body with chemical compounds.

Medications for intestinal infections in adults will be stronger than in children.

Choose complex treatment of different directions: restoration of water-salt balance, elimination of bloating, pain), strengthen the body with the use of live beneficial microorganisms from biological products, supporting the intestines.

But not only infections can help. Do not forget about proper nutrition, as often products, if stored incorrectly, can cause intestinal upset and poisoning.

The main drugs for the treatment of the genitourinary system are antibiotics. Before the appointment, it is necessary to pass a urine culture for sterility, and determine the reaction of microorganisms obtained from it to antibacterial drugs. Without sowing, it is better to use broad-spectrum medicines. But some differ in nephrotoxicity (toxic effects on the kidneys), for example, "Gentamicin", "Polymyxin", "Streptomycin".

Treatment of infections with antibiotics

For inflammation of the urinary tract, antibiotics of the cephalosporin group are used - "Cefalexin", "Cefaclor", "Cefepim", "Ceftriaxone". With inflammation of the kidneys, semi-synthetic penicillin is also used - "Oxacillin" and "Amoxicillin". But it is better for urogenital infections - treatment with fluoroquinolone - Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin and Gatifloxacin. The duration of antibiotic use for kidney disease is up to 7 days. In complex treatment, drugs with sulphenylamide are used - "Biseptol" or "Urosulfan".

Herbal uroantiseptics

"Canephron" in case of illness

In urology, herbal uroantiseptics are used both as the main healing substances and as auxiliary ones. « Kanefron is an excellent remedy for the treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system. It has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action, causes a diuretic effect. It is used orally in the form of drops or dragees. The composition of "Kanefron" includes rose hips, rosemary leaves, centaury and rosemary. With inflammation of the kidneys, 50 drops of the drug or 2 tablets are prescribed 3 times a day. In men, it is considered the best remedy in the treatment of urinary infections.


Herbal uroantiseptics are an excellent remedy for the treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system.

"Fitolysin" - a remedy for infections of the genitourinary system, facilitates the passage of stones and removes pathological agents from the urinary tract. Mint, pine, orange, sage and vanillin oils are added to the preparation. Take anti-inflammatory after meals 3 times a day, 1 tsp. half a glass of warm water. Kidney disease resolves within a month. It is made in the form of a paste to obtain a solution. The composition of "Fitolysin" - extracts:

  • horsetail;
  • parsley;
  • birch leaves;
  • rhizomes of wheatgrass;
  • fenugreek;
  • hernia;
  • onion bulbs;
  • goldenrod;
  • herbs mountaineer bird.

Medications to relieve symptoms of inflammation of the genitourinary system

Inflammation of the urinary tract begins to be treated with drugs that stop the inflammatory symptoms and restore the functionality of the urinary tract. The main medicines for the genitourinary system are Papaverine and No-shpa. Doctors recommend using antibacterial agents after a course of antispasmodics. In parallel, they are treated with tablets that do not have the property of nephrotoxicity.

For diseases of the genitourinary system, paracetamol is used. The daily dose is 4 times 650 mg. When taking paracetamol, drink plenty of water to ensure normal hemodynamics. Ibuprofen is shown instead of paracetamol. The daily dose is 4 times 1200 mg. Other drugs for relief of symptoms: Ketanov, Nimesulide, Cefekon and Baralgin. The decision in therapy with nephrotoxic drugs is justified, and therapy is prescribed only after consulting a doctor.

Antispasmodics


Antispasmodics relieve pain, but do not affect the cause of the disease.

Antispasmodic drugs improve urine flow and relieve pain. Popular tablets are the same "Papaverine" with "No-shpa" and "Benziklan" with "Drotaverine". "No-shpa" is available in the form of tablets and solution. Dosage - no more than 240 mg per day. "No-shpu" is strictly forbidden to take with heart and liver failure. Additionally, it is allowed to take "Kanefron" - it has both antispasmodic and antiseptic effects.
