PROSTAVER ING 1'S

About

Prostaver ING is a medication primarily used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in older men characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. This enlargement can lead to bothersome urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. Depending on its specific class, Prostaver ING works either by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, thereby improving urine flow and reducing obstruction, or by reducing the size of the prostate gland over time by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Its therapeutic action aims to alleviate the obstructive symptoms associated with BPH, enhancing the patient's quality of life and reducing the risk of complications like urinary tract infections, acute urinary retention, and the need for surgical intervention. Regular use helps to maintain urinary comfort and function.
