Pharmacodynamics

The herbal remedy Uronefron has anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antispasmodic and antibacterial properties.

The diuretic ability of Uronefron is explained by the presence of flavonoids, inositol, saponins and silicates. Silicate ingredients, among other things, accelerate the excretion of urea in the presence of urates in the kidneys.

Uronefron prevents mineral crystal precipitation in the urinary system and normalizes the balance between urinary colloids and crystalloids.

Saponin substances reduce surface tension, promote the formation of protective colloids, bind pathogenic components of urinary fluid, and prevent sedimentation and the formation of deposits.

Additionally, Uronefron accelerates the removal of the smallest sediment and small stones, prevents the increase in size of stones and the formation of concrement formations in the future.

Onion peel is rich in essential oils, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, flavonoids, acids, sugars, which determines its anti-inflammatory effect.

The knotweed plant has hemostatic and diuretic properties, which are explained by the presence of phenolic acids, astringent components and flavonoids.
