Pharmacological properties

Seeds of specially cultivated varieties of medicinal pumpkin C. pepo L. convar. citrullina I. Greb. var. styriaca I. Greb contain vegetable oil rich in specific non-ubiquitous phytosterols (delta-7-sterols) responsible for the oil's activity, as well as a high content of amino acids (arginine, linoleic and oleic acids) involved in regulating bladder function as direct and indirect neurotransmitters. In combination, phytosterols and amino acids provide urodynamic and anti-inflammatory effects by establishing a balance between contraction and relaxation of the muscles responsible for urination, promoting relaxation of the urinary bladder sphincter, reducing intravesical pressure, increasing bladder tone, and reducing swelling. This effect is further enhanced by the extract of hop cones and by flavonoids, sterins, tannins, and phenolic components of the extract of aromatic sumach bark, which exert anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and diuretic actions and affect muscle contractions, providing spasmolytic and calming effects in cases of overactive bladder and urinary incontinence.

This combined medicinal product based on pumpkin seeds, hop cones, and aromatic sumach bark, as well as corresponding single-component herbal medicinal products, is used for the treatment of bladder dysfunction. Remensuron is considered a traditional herbal medicinal product for use according to specified indications.
