For warnings, precautions for use and contraindications, please consult the instructions for use of PERMIXON 160 mg.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - also called prostate adenoma or benign prostatic hyperplasia - usually affects men over 50.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is characterized by an increase in the size of the prostate. A large prostate compresses the urethra while putting pressure on the bladder, resulting in a frequent urge to urinate and various urination problems , as the case may be (lower and intermittent flow, pain, etc.).
Men with an enlarged prostate have repeated difficulty passing urine. At first, it is difficult for them to start urinating, then, since the urine stream is weak and jerky, they feel like they have never emptied their bladder. In addition, the desire to urinate is felt several times a night. Sometimes patients experience pain in the back and upper thighs.

Description of Permixon 160mg Urination disorders

Permixon 160mg is a drug based on a plant extract with decongestant properties on the urinary tract. Permixon 160mg is recommended in the treatment of certain urination disorders (emission of urine) linked to hypertrophy (increase in volume) of the prostate.

This plant-based medicine contains 160 mg of lipidosterol extract of serenoa repens, more commonly known as Florida palm. These active ingredients produce a decongestant effect on the emission of urine. On the prostate, they reduce the action of the male hormone, a factor that promotes the development of prostate adenomas.

Experimental work, carried out in animals or in vitro on prostate cells, has shown that the lipid-sterolic extract of Serenoa repens:

• exhibits non-competitive inhibition properties of 5 α-reductase (type 1 and 2), an enzyme which transforms testosterone into its active metabolite, dihydrotestosterone;
• inhibits the formation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes (demonstrated on polymorphonuclear cells);
• slows down the proliferation of cells originating from benign prostatic hyperplasia, and stimulated by growth factors.

Advice from your expert pharmacist

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous (benign) enlargement of the prostate that can make it difficult to urinate. The prostate increases in size with age. Men may have difficulty urinating, and have a more frequent and urgent need to urinate.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - also called prostate adenoma or benign prostatic hyperplasia - usually affects men over 50. It results in an increase in the size of the prostate, linked to an adenoma (benign tumor) which most often develops in the part located in contact with the urethra, called the transition zone. Adenoma of the prostate is not cancer. It is a benign disease without major risk for the individual , but which can cause urinary disorders by the pressure exerted on the urethra.

LEXIQUE  ^(sommaire)

adénome de la prostate
Augmentation du volume de la prostate, glande située sous la vessie de l'homme. Cette augmentation de volume est bénigne, n'a aucun rapport avec un cancer, mais peut gêner le passage des urines dans le canal (urètre) qui traverse la glande.
Les symptômes qui font évoquer la présence d'un adénome de la prostate sont :

• une difficulté à uriner (lenteur, faiblesse du jet) ;
  
• le besoin de se lever plusieurs fois la nuit pour uriner ;
  
• des envies d'uriner impérieuses et difficiles à contrôler.
  

Certains médicaments, les atropiniques notamment, peuvent avoir pour effet indésirable d'aggraver la gêne et peuvent conduire à un blocage total de l'évacuation de la vessie. Ils sont donc contre-indiqués ou doivent être utilisés prudemment chez les hommes présentant les symptômes décrits ci-dessus.


éruption cutanée
Apparition de boutons ou de plaques sur la peau. Ces lésions peuvent être dues à un aliment, à un médicament, et traduire une allergie ou un effet toxique. De nombreux virus peuvent également provoquer des éruptions de boutons : celles de la rubéole, de la roséole et de la rougeole sont les plus connues.


hormone
Substance produite par le corps et transportée par le sang, destinée à réguler l'activité de certaines glandes ou de certains organes.


transaminases
Enzymes dosées dans le sang, dont le taux s'élève lors de certaines hépatites. Elles figurent dans les analyses de sang sous le nom de SGOT et SGPT ou ASAT et ALAT.
