Let's take a look at the most common drugs used in prostatitis treatment.

Such drugs can have both a broad and direct spectrum of effects, and the need to use one or another directly depends on the form of the disease and the cause of the disease.
Macrolide
Macrolides are rarely used in the treatment of prostatitis, as they are aimed against certain types of bacteria, such as mycoplasma and chlamydia. By the way, a disease like chlamydia is often accompanied by prostatitis, so doctors will prescribe several tests at once to identify problems with the prostate gland in the early stages.
