This product is a traditional herbal medicinal product containing Nettle root extract.

DiaUrtica Tablets is a traditional herbal medicinal product used to relieve the symptoms of urinary tract discomfort in men who have been told that they have an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), based on traditional use only.

Used to relieve symptoms including:

  • – Feeling like you need to pass urine more often, especially at night
