Pharmacoeconomic effectiveness of phytotherapy in complex treatment of pyelonephritis

Abstract

We conducted pharmacoeconomic analysis of comprehensive treatment using herbal tea "Baikalskiy-6" and conventional therapy in patients with acute and chronic pyelonephritis. The relation "cost - effectiveness" was investigated. Using herbal medicine increases the effectiveness of treatment, prolongs relapse-free period, reduces the number of recurrences of infection in the long-term period. The relation "cost - effectiveness" in the treatment of patients with the use of phytotherapy assets during the year by 36,6% lower than just a course of antibiotic therapy during exacerbations. Using herbal medicine in treatment of patients with acute and chronic pyelonephritis increases the duration of disease-free period and reduces the number of recurrences of urinary infection during the year.
