Stop-cystitis for the treatment of urological diseases in cats

Save the article:
For urological problems, cats are often prescribed the herbal drug “Stop Cystitis”. Its use is justified in the treatment of cystitis, urolithiasis and other diseases. The product has a useful spectrum of action, a small list of contraindications and negative consequences. The dosage, regimen, and compatibility with other medications are determined by the instructions for use.

Release form

Stop cystitis is produced in the form of a suspension and in tablets, each form of which has a number of advantages. In some cases, preference should be given to the tablet, as it is easier to mix into the food. Difficulties often arise when soldering the suspension, despite the fact that this can be done using the supplied syringe. However, some animals do not agree to swallow the medicine under any circumstances, even though it has a pleasant taste. In this case, the tablet is given along with a piece of solid food, for example, sausage or meat. It also happens, on the contrary, that an animal weakened by illness refuses to take any food, even its favorite one, because it loses its appetite. Then you have to use a liquid suspension, forcibly injecting it into the cat’s mouth as deep as possible using a syringe without a needle.

It is up to the veterinarian to determine exactly which form of the drug is best to use for a particular animal, taking into account the individual characteristics of the cat and the severity of the disease.

• suspension

Stop-cystitis in the form of a suspension can be packaged in bottles with caps and various dosages of 150, 100, 50 and 30 ml and is a viscous mixture, the color of which can vary from dark green to light brown. The medicine has a pleasant taste, and it comes with a syringe with graduations to determine the exact dosage and a measuring cup. Before giving it to an animal, the suspension must be shaken very thoroughly, as separation may often occur. Each bottle must have a label indicating the name of the drug, its release date and the shelf life during which the medicine can be safely used for treatment.

• pills

200 mg tablets are packaged in small jars, each containing 15 pieces. They have a composition identical to the suspension and have the same medicinal properties.

Suspension Stop-cystitis

The suspension for cats was developed in two modifications with different compositions. Currently, Stop Cystitis Bio is produced, but in some veterinary pharmacies you can find the “old” Stop Cystitis.

Composition of the drug

Stop-cystitis is a drug for animals with a combined effect. It owes its medicinal properties to its composition, which includes substances obtained chemically and natural components obtained from medicinal plants.

This product contains:

• nitroxaline, which has a targeted effect against fungal and bacterial pathogens that cause inflammatory processes in the urinary tract;
• drotaverine hydrochloride, which helps eliminate spasms by relaxing smooth muscles and has an analgesic effect;
• extract from nettle leaf, lingonberry leaf, licorice roots, knotweed herb, juniper fruit - that is, those plants that have an antimicrobial effect, eliminate the inflammatory process in the urinary system and relieve muscle spasms.

Thanks to this composition, Stop-cystitis turns out to be a highly effective drug that can quickly cope with inflammation in the urinary tract and relieve the animal from painful manifestations and discomfort.

Composition of the medicine

Stop Cystitis consists of chemical components and natural substances. The main active ingredients are the antibiotic nitroxoline and the antispasmodic drotaverine hydrochloride. The medicine fights pathogenic bacteria and fungi that cause inflammation of the genitourinary system: enterococci, staphylococci, streptococci and candida fungus due to the broad spectrum of action of nitroxoline.

The second most important component, drotaverine hydrochloride, has a relaxing effect on smooth muscles, relieves pain caused by spasms, normalizes vascular tone and lowers blood pressure. The calming effect occurs within a few minutes after taking the drug.

Pharmacology

Stop cystitis, used for cats, has a broad spectrum of action directly against pathogens such as staphylococci, salmonella, streptococci, enterococci or candida. Thanks to the content of drotaverine hydrochloride, this remedy relaxes smooth muscles, thereby relieving painful spasms, reduces pressure in blood vessels, reducing their tone by normalizing calcium levels in muscle cells. As a result of such processes, cats experience pain when urinating.

The content of plant substances allows you to remove toxins and small stones from the genitourinary system, which often affects cats. The drug also has a positive effect on the kidneys, restoring their activity, as well as on improving the urinary tract and sexual functions.

Stop-cystitis is easily absorbed in the animal's stomach and is well tolerated by adult cats, pregnant cats or kittens.

The drug is often prescribed as a prophylaxis to those animals that have a tendency to inflammation in the urological organs.

Pharmacological properties

Stop cystitis for cats is prescribed to normalize the functioning of the excretory and reproductive system. The veterinary drug is prescribed to furry patients for the treatment of acute and chronic urological ailments of various etiologies:

• ICD (urolithiasis);

Veterinarians also use the drug for preventive purposes, to prevent the development of urolithiasis in cats, as well as during catheterization and cystoscopy to prevent infection of the animal with dangerous viruses and bacteria.

Stop cystitis for cats is used for the treatment and prevention of urological inflammatory and infectious diseases

Stop cystitis for animals has a pronounced antispasmodic, diuretic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic effect.

The active components of the drug are well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, relieve spasm of the smooth muscles of the genitourinary tract, relieve pain during urination, and promote the rapid removal of urethrates, calculi, urinary stones from the kidneys and bladder.

The main active component of the drug (nitroxoline) is effective against most types of gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, viruses, such as: streptostaphylococcus, E. coli, ureplasma, Klebsiella, as well as some classes of protozoan parasitic fungi of the genus Candida. The action of nitroxoline is aimed at suppressing the synthesis of bacterial DNA of pathogenic agents.

Healing plants normalize impaired functions of the genitourinary tract, have a general strengthening effect, improve the general physiological condition of animals, promote faster recovery, and have a mild diuretic and analgesic effect. Alkaloids, flavonoids, pectins, tannins of medicinal plants reduce crystallization processes, which in turn reduces the formation of stones in the kidneys and bladder.
