Frequently asked questions

What is Libeprosta used for?+
Libeprosta is an oral herbal supplement containing lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens. It is used to support men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by helping to alleviate urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, weak stream and nocturia.
How does the lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens work?+
The extract inhibits the enzyme 5‑alpha‑reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone within the prostate. It also possesses anti‑inflammatory activity, which together may decrease prostate size and improve urinary flow.
What is the usual dose of Libeprosta?+
The appropriate dose of Libeprosta is determined by the prescribing health professional based on the individual’s condition, age, renal function and concomitant therapies. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

What are the most serious risks associated with Libeprosta?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions (e.g., facial swelling, difficulty breathing) and possible liver enzyme elevations. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of an allergic response or unexplained jaundice.
Who should not use Libeprosta?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to Serenoa repens or any component of the formulation should avoid Libeprosta. It is also contraindicated in patients with active prostate cancer or those taking certain hormonal therapies without medical supervision.
