Prestarium 5 mg and Prestarium Neo are the same drug. Prestarium Neo is ultimately a drug produced for the Czech market. In Polish pharmacies, it is included in parallel imports. Importing medicines involves bringing the preparation to the Polish from a European country, in this case the Czech Republic, where the price is lower, repackaging it and attaching a leaflet in Polish. Therefore, some information in Czech may appear on the immediate packaging of the drug. The quality of imported drugs, as well as their therapeutic effectiveness is the same as those produced in Poland, the only difference is the packaging, because they were originally intended for the market of another country. Interestingly, during repackaging, imported drugs are additionally controlled after leaving the manufacturer's warehouse, eliminating damaged and defective products. Prestarium and Prestarium Neo are not equivalents - they are exactly the same drugs.
