Physiotherapy helps to cope with the inflammatory process quite effectively and in a short time. It is used as part of complex therapy, or after the main treatment is completed, at the recovery stage. It can be used to prevent possible relapses.

What is better? Analogues

There are analogues of Nolitsin, which can also be taken to treat cystitis and other diseases of the genitourinary system. Thus, such drugs as Lokson-400, Normax, Norbak, Norbactin have found wide application. In these drugs, the main active ingredient, as well as in Nolitsin, is Norfloxacin (a new generation antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone group). Also, the closest analogues are Norfloxacin drugs, produced in the territory of the Russian Federation by Vertek and FP Obolenskoye.

  • Nolicin or norbactin for cystitis

It is better to use Nolitsin, as it is an effective remedy that has not only an anti-inflammatory effect, but also an anti-infective effect. Nolitsin has a wider spectrum of action, as it is active against gram-positive, gram-negative microorganisms, against both aerobic and anaerobic forms of microorganisms.

Another feature of the drug is that it can affect fungal infections, as well as dangerous microorganisms such as ureaplasma, mycoplasma, chlamydia, rickettsia. The danger of these forms of microorganisms is that they are practically not affected by any other forms of drugs. It is also worth noting that, unlike norbactin, nolitsin also affects such resistant forms of microorganisms as methicillin-sensitive staphylococci.

  • Palin or nolicin

You should choose Nolitsin because it is a drug that affects multiple forms of microorganisms. It is active against both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.

  • Furamag or nolitsin

Nolitsin has a higher activity against various forms of microorganisms. Nolitsin also affects hospital infections that are highly resistant. In addition, they act on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, resistant Staphylococcus aureus, enterococci, and other forms of microorganisms, even spore forms. The ability to penetrate biofilms and affect microbial associations is of certain value.

  • Furadonin or Nolitsin

It is impossible to answer the question of which of these drugs is better. Everything is determined by the spectrum of activity of microorganisms, as well as their quantity. Other factors are also taken into account, such as the presence of side effects, contraindications. Some reviews show that furadonin is much easier for patients to tolerate and causes fewer side effects. However, nolitsin is more active, and relapses occur much less often after it. Also, the advantage of nolitsin is that it can be used for a long time, for 2-3 months, and also for preventive purposes.
