The preparation considerably improved urodynamics, reduced pain syndrome and inflammation, decreased prostate volume, improved patient’s quality of life, and restored microcirculation in the prostate. No changes in blood, urine, and ECG parameters were noted. No side effects requiring afala withdrawal were recorded.
