Biostrepta has proteolytic medicinal activity. The medicine contains complex active components.
Streptokinase is an element that activates the action of the proenzyme plasminogen (the activity demonstrated by streptokinase leads to its conversion into plasmin, and this component is capable of dissolving blood clots formed inside the body). [ 1 ]
Streptodornase is an enzyme that can dissolve existing clots of accumulated dead cells, as well as pus and nucleoproteins, without affecting the physiological activity of living cells.
The introduction of the drug increases the speed of passage to the inflammation zone and the effectiveness of other medications (chemotherapy drugs or antibiotics).
Indications Biostrepta
It is used during the combined treatment of inflammations (of a chronic nature) in the pelvic area, against the background of which fistulas, adhesions and abscesses appear, accompanied by the development of a purulent infiltrate.
It is also prescribed for infertility and ovarian cysts (benign).
Release form
The medication is released in the form of rectal suppositories - 6 pieces in a cell pack.

Biostrept suppositories are inserted deep into the rectum. During the first 3 days, use 1 suppository 3 times a day; during the next 3-day cycle - 2 times a day; and during the last 3-day course - 1 suppository per day.
