For antispasmodic effect

Diseases of the bladder and kidneys are often accompanied by a spasm of the muscular layer of the urethra, bladder and kidneys. Such a violation leads to a delay in the excretion of urine.

• Bacterial cystitis.
• Urethritis, which develops as a result of the penetration of bacteria into the urethra.
• Pyelonephritis in the acute stage.

Kanephron (indications for the use of the drug describe the possibility of prescribing in acute and chronic forms of pathology) in different dosage forms can prescribed for various deviations from the urinary system, but doctors identify some criteria on which a specific drug depends the form.

Criteria for indications in patients	Peculiarities
Having nausea and vomiting	Such symptoms often appear in patients when calculi in the kidneys or bladder move. Especially often, a complication appears when a stone enters the ureter or urethra. In this case, it is better to choose drops, since the active components of them are absorbed faster in the digestive tract.
Complications from the digestive system	If the patient has kidney and bladder diseases, but against the background of their exacerbation, the pathologies of the stomach or intestines are aggravated. It is recommended to choose drops for oral use. They are quickly absorbed as no dissolution is required.

Swallowing reflex disorder	If the swallowing reflex is impaired, it is better to give preference to drops in therapy. Often, patients have similar complications, which are aggravated by an exacerbation of symptoms of kidney or bladder disease.
Concomitant diseases of the brain	The drug in the form of drops contains ethanol in the composition. With the development of pathologies of the urinary system and the patient has complications from the brain, it is better to give preference to pills, since this dosage form does not contain ethanol.

Experts can also recommend taking drops in the acute course of the disease, when it is necessary to achieve a therapeutic effect quickly. Taking the liquid form more quickly helps to achieve relief.
