"Omnik" and "Omnik Okas" - what's the difference? Instructions for use, advice of doctors

Violation of the normal functioning of the urinary system, as a rule, is accompanied by a mass of negative sensations. The difficulty of excretion of urine due to compression of the urethra whatever (hematoma, swelling, stone, enlargement of the prostate gland) in a medical environment is called dysuria. To treat this problem, caused by hyperplasia of the prostate gland, preparations "Omnik" and "Omnik Okas" are intended. What is the difference between them, and whether there is any at all, will be discussed below.

Basic composition and form of production of medicinal products

The product Omnic is offered to consumers in capsular form. Omnic Capsules with modified release as the main active ingredient contain 400 μg of tamsulosin hydrochloride.

As auxiliary constituents, cellulose, triacetin, sodium lauryl sulfate, yellow and red iron oxides, calcium stearate, titanium dioxide can be isolated . The orange capsule case covers the olive-green lid. The granules have a color ranging from white to light yellow.

As for the Omnic Okas drug, the instructions for use indicate that the product is available in the form of controlled-release tablets. As the main active ingredient is the same tamsulosin hydrochloride. Auxiliary components are slightly different from those that are part of the Omnica: macrogol (8,000 and 7,000,000), magnesium stearate and purified water. Tablets are round, biconvex with coloration from yellow to brownish-yellow.

Pharmacodynamics

Reception "Omnik" stimulates a decrease in the tension of the smooth muscles of the neck of the bladder, the prostate gland decreases tone. Against the background of treatment with medication, symptoms of irritation (filling) and obstruction (emptying) of the bladder that accompany hyperplasia of the prostate gland become less pronounced.

Omnik is characterized by high selectivity, which does not contribute to lowering blood pressure in patients with normal blood pressure or hypertensive patients.

Pharmacological effects on the body of men are practically the same for "Omnik" and "Omnik Okas" medicines. What is the difference, and is it anyway for those suffering from hypertension? Both drugs do not cause a significant increase in blood pressure when taking 400 micrograms per day.

Indications and contraindications

"Omnik" and "Omnik Okas" instructions for use recommend the use for the treatment of dysuric abnormalities caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia.

With regard to contraindications, it should be said about the inadmissibility of taking medication by those patients who suffer from orthostatic arterial hypotension (a significant drop in BP at the time the person gets up), because this can lead to a decrease in blood supply to the brain and fainting. In addition, drugs are not prescribed in the presence of severe renal failure and with individual hypersensitivity to the acting or auxiliary components. Those who suffer from kidney failure, with great care are appointed "Omnik" and "Omnik Okas." What is the difference between them? Omnica capsules are taken with heavy degrees of disease, and Omnic Okas - in chronic form and creatinine clearance below 10 ml / min.

Dosage and Administration

How do they drink Omnic? Instructions for use (the price of the drug will be discussed later) states that this drug should be taken once in a daily volume of 400 μg. It is advisable to take the capsule after the end of breakfast, do not chew and drink a sufficient amount of liquid. Small or moderate abnormalities in the functioning of the liver and kidneys are not grounds for dose adjustment.

"Omnik Okas", whose price is slightly higher than that of "Omnik", the instruction allows you to take irrespective of food intake.

The daily volume of the medication is 1 tablet (400 μg). Chew medication is not recommended, as this may affect the prolonged release of the main active ingredient.

Exceeding the permissible dose

It is necessary to carefully follow the recommendations of the attending physician, in order to avoid an overdose of Omnik and Oknik Okas medicines. What is the difference in symptoms? To date, cases of acute overdose of Omnic drug have not been fixed. If to argue theoretically, that is the probability of falling AD and the development of compensatory tachycardia. Reception of large volumes of Omnic Okas means arterial hypotension in the acute stage.

Treatment in both cases consists in bringing the patient to a horizontal position, taking up sorbents (activated charcoal proved to be the best) or osmotic laxative. In order to prevent further absorption of tamsulosin, gastric lavage is recommended. If at poisoning by means of Omnic Okas from all the above described measures there is no proper effect, it is permissible to use vasoconstrictors and drugs that increase BCC. The likelihood that dialysis will give any noticeable effect is small, since tamsulosin binds quite intensely to plasma proteins.

Side effects

The use of Omnica can cause some undesirable effects from different systems of the human body. CCC can declare itself dizzy, an increase in heart rate, sometimes orthostatic hypotension may occur.

Possible reactions of the nervous system are headaches, impotence, chronic fatigue syndrome. From the digestive tract can be observed diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting. Not often, but it happens that the reproductive system reacts with the development of retrograde ejaculation (throwing semen into the bladder).

We examined the phenomena that Omnik can induce (analogues are cheaper than it exist, but they also contribute to the development of such reactions). Omnic Okas, in addition to all the above, can cause syncope (it is rare enough), priapism (a long and painful erection, not associated with sexual arousal). Sometimes rhinitis develops in patients. Allergic reactions caused by both medicines are similar: urticaria, skin rash, itching, angioedema (rarely).

What should I look for?

If the patient has a predisposition to orthostatic hypotension, Omnic should be used with caution. At the first signs of the development of this condition, one should lay a person or, at least, sit him down. In addition, you should make sure the diagnosis to exclude the presence of diseases that cause the same symptoms as prostatic hyperplasia.

Many patients are interested in what is better than Omnika, is it more effective and gives a quicker result? With the Omnic Okas tool, it is possible to achieve the desired effect more quickly. However, orthostatic hypotension in case of using this drug is able to overcome the threshold, after which there will come a faint.

If the surgical operation for cataract removal is performed against the background of treatment with the Omnic Okas drug , there is a possibility of developing a narrow pupil syndrome.

When treating with both drugs, it is important at first and throughout the treatment to regularly perform a rectal examination (finger) and, if necessary, the definition of a specific antigen of the prostate gland.

Price range

Capsules "Omnik" today in the pharmacy chain can be purchased for 360-370 rubles (we are talking about 10 capsules). A package of 30 pieces is available to consumers at a price of 740-795 rubles. For 100 capsules will have to pay from 2085 to 2175 rubles.

The product "Omnik Okas" price is much higher. Blister of 10 tablets will cost the consumer 560-620 rubles. Packing of 30 pieces will cost even more: it will have to be paid from 1520 to 1690 rubles.

In general, we can say that a medicine, let's say, is not quite cheap. However, it does not bear any particularly sensitive consequences for the consumer's purse with medium financial possibilities.

Analogues of the drug and the opinions of doctors

Currently, there are many medications that have an effect similar to that of Omnic Okas and Omnik. Analogues are cheaper than the original remedy, and they are quite simply purchased in the pharmacy network.

Of the most popular drugs can be called "Omsulosin" (the cost of 30 tablets - about 470 rubles), "Proflosin" (30 tablets will cost 395-450 rubles, 100 - at 1130-1160 rubles).

In addition, Tamsulosin Teva is in demand on the pharmaceutical market today. It can be purchased for 450-560 rubles (30 tablets).

With regard to opinions about the drug, the medical workers characterize it as a very and very effective means for reducing the tone of the prostate, which greatly facilitates the process of outflow of urine. In addition, both doctors and patients report that treatment with "Omnik" and "Omnik Okas" drugs significantly reduces the intensity of development of such unpleasant symptoms as obstruction and irritation of the bladder.

Also important is the fact that these medicines can dramatically improve the quality of life of that part of the strong half of humanity that suffers from prostate disease. It is important only to pay attention to uncharacteristic symptoms and, without waiting for that to "go away by itself", seek medical help, and then follow all the recommendations of the treating doctor.
