SOLPROST
Description
Solprost is a medical device based on plant extracts, useful as a supportive aid in treatments aimed at maintaining the properties of the prostate gland or known for their beneficial properties on urinary system functions. It may have a beneficial effect in inflammatory conditions of the prostate and in actinic proctitis (induced by radiotherapy) or proctitis of other origin. The product is suitable for short-term use for constipation and in haemorrhoidal congestion through a soothing action.
How to use
One suppository a day is recommended, preferably in the evening before going to bed. For optimal effect, insert the suppository correctly, making sure it reaches the deepest part of the rectal ampulla.
Solprost suppositories may reduce transit time in the intestine and, consequently, the absorption of other medicines taken orally at the same time; therefore, after taking an oral medicine, allow at least 2 hours before using Solprost.
Components
Lactoferrin, Glycerophosphoinositol, Hyaluronic acid.
Warnings
As far as possible, avoid using Solprost while using other devices or medicinal products. In any case, consult your doctor before using Solprost if you are undergoing drug therapy.
No known short- or medium/long-term side effects have been reported. Solprost does not adversely affect sensory abilities (level of attention, ability to drive or perform activities). However, if undesirable effects occur, such as excessive irritation, pain or any discomfort that may appear related to the use of the medical device, stop treatment immediately and consult your doctor.
The uneven dark colour that the suppository may show is a characteristic of the product and does not indicate reduced efficacy or improper storage.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date shown on the pack and blister.
Solprost is not sterile; however, do not use the suppositories if the primary packaging (blister) is damaged.
Each suppository is single-use and must be removed from the pack only immediately before use: do not use broken suppositories or suppositories removed from the blister at an unknown time, as this could lead to contamination of the product. Do not attempt to reuse suppositories that have accidentally come out after the first attempt at use.
Do not exceed the recommended doses.
If the medical device is ineffective after correct use according to the recommended dosage, stop use and consult your doctor.
Abuse of laxatives, especially contact (stimulant) laxatives, can cause dependence, chronic constipation and loss of normal bowel function (intestinal atony), and persistent diarrhoea with consequent loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium) and other essential nutrients. In the most serious cases of abuse, dehydration or hypokalaemia may occur, which can lead to cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially with concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides, diuretics or corticosteroids.
Do not use under 12 years of age.
Solprost is not recommended in case of known hypersensitivity of the user to any of the components. Also do not use in case of:
- acute abdominal pain or pain of unknown origin;
- nausea or vomiting;
- intestinal obstruction or stenosis;
- rectal bleeding of unknown origin;
- acute haemorrhoidal crisis with pain and bleeding;
- severe dehydration.
Solprost can be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but only in cases of real need and only after consulting your doctor.
Elderly people or those in poor health should in any case consult their doctor before using Solprost.
