Pharmacological properties

Pharmacokinetics

Cocarboxylase chloride after parenteral administration is absorbed quickly and completely, after oral administration - slowly and incompletely, mainly in duodenum And small intestine. The half-life is approximately 11 hours. Cocarboxylase chloride penetrates into all tissues, but its highest concentration is observed in the liver, brain, kidneys and heart. Thiamine is considered the transport form, and thiamine diphosphate is the intracellular pharmacologically active form.

In the blood it is transported mainly by erythrocytes. Red blood cells contain about 80% of the total amount of blood cocarboxylase in the form of thiamine diphosphate.

Cocarboxylase chloride is metabolized in the liver. After intravenous use maximum concentration blood thiamine (Cmax) was significantly higher after rapid infusion (RI, 2300 ng/ml) than after slow infusion (SI, 177 ng/ml). The drug is excreted unchanged in the urine, and the amount depends on the dose used. This prevents the accumulation of Cocarboxylase chloride in the body.

WITH breast milk an average of 0.16 mg/l of cocarboxylase is released.

Pharmacodynamics

Cocarboxylase is the active form of vitamin B1. Has a metabolic effect, activates tissue metabolism. In the body it is phosphorylated to form mono-, di- and triphosphoric esters; cocarboxylase is part of the enzymes that catalyze the carboxylation and decarboxylation of keto acids, pyruvic acid, and promotes the formation of acetyl coenzyme A, which determines its participation in carbohydrate metabolism. Participation in the pentose cycle indirectly promotes the synthesis nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Improves the absorption of glucose, trophism of nervous tissue, and helps normalize the functions of the cardiovascular system. Cocarboxylase deficiency causes an increase in the level of pyruvic and lactic acids in the blood, which leads to acidosis and acidotic coma.

Cocarboxylase is used for diseases that occur with endogenous deficiency of this coenzyme or when regulation is necessary carbohydrate metabolism. The drug works effectively in combination with B vitamins.

Indications for use

for diseases caused by digestive disorders, malabsorption or parenteral nutrition (gastrectomy, removal of ileum, diseases biliary tract, liver dysfunction and cirrhosis, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, chronic diarrhea)

metabolic disorders (maple syrup disease (valinoleucinuria), hyperalanemia, pyruvate carboxylase deficiency in acidosis

chronic ischemic disease hearts, unstable angina, myocardial infarction and post-infarction cardiosclerosis, (as part of complex therapy)

barbiturate poisoning and ethyl alcohol(alcoholism, alcoholic cardiomyopathy)

neuropathy (diabetic and alcoholic polyneuropathy, paralysis, inflammation peripheral nerves, sciatica, encephalopathy)

neuralgia, muscle pain(myalgia, arthralgia, joint pain)

perinatal hypoxic encephalopathy, respiratory failure, pneumonia

hyperthyroidism, hemodialysis, burns, fever

after viral and chronic infections(as part of complex therapy).

Directions for use and doses

Individually, depending on the patient's condition.

The solution must be administered slowly, over 10 minutes, since rapid administration may cause pain and severe burning at the injection site.

Adults are administered intramuscularly or intravenously at 50 - 100 mg once a day.

If necessary (diabetic coma, ethyl alcohol poisoning), the dose can be repeated after 1 - 2 hours. Maintenance therapy - 50 mg 1 time per day. The frequency and duration of use depends on the indications.

In case of circulatory failure, Cocarboxylase is administered intramuscularly 2 hours before taking digitalis preparations at a dose of 50 mg 3 times a day. The course of treatment is 15-30 days

Children are prescribed subcutaneously or intramuscularly:

From the first days of life to 3 months - 25 mg 1 time per day.

From 4 months to 7 years - 25 - 50 mg 1 time per day.

From 8 years to 18 years - 50 - 100 mg 1 time per day. The course of treatment is 15-30 days.

Side effects

After parenteral administration of Cocarboxylase at a dose above 500 mg per day, the following side effects appear:

Nausea, lack of appetite, atony, epigastric pain

Fear, anxiety, lethargy, ataxia

Breathing disorders (acute respiratory failure)

Allergic reactions such as urticaria, skin rash

Contact dermatitis at the injection site - swelling, pain and strong burning sensation(most often after too rapid administration)

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to cocarboxylase.

Drug interactions

The drug works effectively in combination with B vitamins, and also enhances the effect of antidepressants.

Digoxin (especially when combined with loop diuretics) reduces the ability of myocardiocytes to absorb cocarboxylase and its metabolites.

Cocarboxylase enhances the cardiotonic effect of cardiac glycosides. The use of cocarboxylase in combination with cyclophosphamide reduces its toxic effect.

The drug should not be used with solutions with an alkaline or neutral reaction.

special instructions

Due to the low stability of the active substance, the injection solution must be prepared immediately before use.

To prepare the cocarboxylase solution, you must use only the solvent included in the kit.

Pregnancy and lactation

Due to the lack of controlled studies in pregnant and lactating women, Cocarboxylase can be used in cases where the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential threat to the fetus.

100-200 mcg of thiamine per day is excreted in breast milk, which is not a contraindication for stopping feeding.

Features of the effect of the drug on the ability to drive a vehicle or potentially dangerous mechanisms

Cocarboxylase does not affect the ability to drive a vehicle or operate moving mechanisms.

Overdose

Symptoms: vomiting, nausea, tachycardia, arterial hypotension, headache, weakness, fatigue, swelling, muscle tremors, heart rhythm disturbances, allergic reactions, increased sweating, shortness of breath.

Treatment: drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment.

Release form and packaging

Two well-known drugs - cocarboxylase and ATP - are considered drugs that are prescribed to patients with cardiovascular diseases.

What is ATP?

This is the energy of the muscles, their nutrition. Muscles are fibrous compounds that naturally contract. Each such movement requires adequate energy expenditure, and it is the molecules of adenosine triphosphoric acid that are the fuel for the muscles - that is what this drug is called.

It is available in both tablet and solution form.

Normalizes heart rhythm.

Thus, the main effect of ATP is antiarrhythmic.

The drug has proven itself well in treatment, while also stimulating energy metabolism and normalizing magnesium and potassium levels.

As a side effect - may reduce the content uric acid. The drug is prescribed for coronary heart disease, heart failure, myocarditis, and various coronary syndromes.

An important side effect is a decrease in blood pressure, so hypotensive patients need to be more careful when prescribing it. There may also be a feeling of heat, dizziness and frequent urination.

The drug is really effective. Several years ago, I went to the doctor with complaints of an irregular heartbeat; with such interruptions, I was diagnosed with tachycardia and I was prescribed ATP in tablets. In general, it is used for various diseases, but usually as part of complex therapy, together with other drugs.

I don’t remember now what else was prescribed, but literally after a few doses of ATP I already felt the result: the interruptions disappeared, normal rhythm the heart recovered quickly.

After completing the study, no abnormalities were found on my ECG.

Since then, I forgot about this problem for a long time.

Opinions are divided regarding cocarboxylase.

This drug is considered a vitamin-like drug that enhances the effect of cardiac glycosides, that is, it is also prescribed to patients with diseases in the area of cardio-vascular system. It is also prescribed for neuralgia, multiple sclerosis and for children during the newborn period with perinatal encephalopathy.

Cocarboxylase plays the role of a coenzyme, that is, one of the parts of the enzyme. And enzymes speed up biochemical processes.

It is believed that it improves carbohydrate metabolism and other processes in nervous tissue and helps normalize heart function. Prescribed for chronic heart failure, respiratory failure, poisoning, and acidosis.

Today, doctors are skeptical about this drug: it is believed that it is absolutely useless, that it is more of a palliative treatment.

There is information that evidence-based medicine According to official data, cocarboxylase was added to the list of drugs with unproven effectiveness.

Moreover, ATP, on the contrary, has clearly proven effectiveness in the treatment of tachycardia, in the treatment of paroxysmal tachycardia. ATP treats both adults and children.

But cocarboxylase is a metabolic substance and is of little use.

Although I know the case that when increased content It helped a 10-year-old child with acetone in the urine in the following way: when the amount of acetone in the urine increased seriously, vomiting began.

And 150 mg of cocarboxylase, administered intravenously, immediately stopped vomiting. And after several courses of cocarboxylase, acetonuria completely stopped.

These are absolutely useless drugs.

In different syringes and each in its place

both are injected only intramuscularly - there is no need to dilute the solution itself in the butt

and someone needs to unwind their brains! KKB is diluted with a solution! it's powder. drugs in different days inject into the muscle! for example: the first day -kkb, the second -atf

Is it necessary to inject Thiotriazoline and Cocarboxylase in case of diffuse changes in the myocardium?

Good afternoon, dear Victoria Yuryevna! Me long time I was worried about discomfort in the heart area (squeezing, tingling, burning, heart rate increased to 100, the limbs of the arms began to go numb during sleep or in a bent position, and later the legs), after the ECG the therapist said that there was some kind of reflux in the heart, you just need to take some sedatives. 6 months ago I was in a sanatorium and, having done an ECG, they gave me the conclusion “diffuse changes in the myocardium” and advised me to inject ATP and Carboxylase 1 ampoule - 1 time per day for 10 days, to improve metabolism, and after that, inject the same course Thiotriazoline to strengthen the heart muscle, improve oxygen supply, restore heartbeat, and for the prevention of stroke. But, after 1 ampoule, my inflammation worsened trigeminal nerve, but I was told that it was most likely a draft and this drug is not capable of causing such reactions. And so I still pierced for 5 days (5 ampoules), and now, after reading more information, I have doubts whether I need this drug? Thank you in advance for your answer!

Hello. Signs diffuse changes in the myocardium according to ECG data are not a diagnosis, they can occur in various diseases and require clarification of the diagnosis. Regarding appointments, there is nothing wrong with them. Such metabolic therapy is useful both for existing pathology and for prevention. Treatment could not provoke inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. Another thing is that if you have heart disease, this course is not enough, so continue the examination.

"Cocarboxylase": instructions for use, reviews

Many people who have problems with the acid-base balance, in particular those who suffer from diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, are familiar with the drug Cocarboxylase, as it is a vitamin-like drug.

Metabolic acidosis

Over the course of a lifetime, the human body produces a large number of all kinds of acids. He gets rid of their excess through urine, sweating and Airways. This happens if the metabolism is not impaired, because otherwise they will accumulate in the blood and negatively affect the connective and nervous tissues of a person. This process is called metabolic acidosis and often it manifests itself when the body suffers from a lack of vitamin B1. This pathology entails dangerous consequences: increased coagulability blood, myocardial infarction, peripheral thrombosis, hyperglycemic coma and death. For this reason, specialists who discover problems with the acid-base balance in a patient prescribe pharmacological agent"Cocarboxylase". Instructions for use are presented below.

Pharmacological abilities

Cocarboxylase is a non-protein organic enzyme that is directly involved in the neuro-reflex processes of the body, reducing the amount of lactic, pyruvic and alpha-ketoglutaric acids.

Its positive actions are aimed at carbohydrate metabolism and providing tissues with energy. Cocarboxylase deficiency leads to deterioration in glucose absorption, cardiac muscle function, and nerve tissue metabolism. This can lead to a person being susceptible to diseases such as acidosis, diabetes mellitus, neurocircular dystonia, heart pathologies, etc. In turn, the drug “Cocarboxylase” normalizes acid-base and energy metabolism. This, in turn, promotes antitoxic and anti-ischemic effects.

"Cocarboxylase": instructions for use and indications

The drug is prescribed to a patient who needs to stabilize metabolism during respiratory, hepatic, cardiovascular and renal failure. Ischemic heart diseases, pre- and post-infarction conditions that may arise due to high level acidity in the blood, the coenzyme drug “Cocarboxylase”, analogues of which are also able to combat similar problems, helps to normalize the human condition. It is often prescribed to people suffering from chronic alcoholism and any form of poisoning, including medication.

The drug "Cocarboxylase", the instructions for use of which are below, is also prescribed for infectious diseases:

Peripheral neuritis and multiple sclerosis are also no exception. Even in pediatric practice, the medicine has found its place. It is used during pregnancy if there is severe toxicosis or fetal hypoxia.

“Cocarboxylase” are ampoules with powder that will be used for injection to the patient. For children medicine administered intramuscularly, subcutaneously, or in some cases sublingually under the tongue. The drug "Cocarboxylase" is used intravenously only for adults once a day.

Children of any age under eight years of age are administered 25 mg of Cocarboxylase. Instructions for use for adults and children after eight years of age are slightly different - mg. The duration of drug treatment is determined by the doctor individually for each patient. It all depends on the degree and neglect of the disease.

"Cocarboxylase": indications during pregnancy

The fetus is completely in the body healthy woman, gets everything essential vitamins and microelements for normal development. But if a pregnant woman experiences serious complications, such as severe toxicosis in the last months of pregnancy, eclampsia, impaired transport of thiamine, convulsions, then “Cocarboxylase” is prescribed to the expectant mother before it is installed the real reason the appearance of this or that disease. The drug is also approved for use by pregnant women suffering from diabetes mellitus.

Side effects and contraindications

There are practically no side effects from the use of the drug, with the exception of intolerance to the active substance itself (cocarboxylase). Instructions for use focus on the fact that after administration this tool, no serious side effects were noted.

Cocarboxylase is very effective drug, but before using it in treatment, you should mandatory consult your doctor.

"Cocarboxylase-Forte" - what is it and how is it different?

Many people, having fallen ill with one or another disease, visit pharmacies and ask to be given something that works, but without the need for injections. There is nothing strange about this, because an injection is always an additional and unwanted expense. In addition, this is very inconvenient, since not everyone can home environment give yourself an injection or ask your relatives about it. After all, if you do it wrong, then discomfort and discomfort in the injection area are guaranteed. Therefore, the drug “Cocarboxylase-Forte” in tablets was created.

Cocarboxylase is not the only component that is part of the drug. It also contains glycerol amino acids and magnesium ions. They significantly improve the activity of cocarboxylase. Magnesium helps improve absorption and metabolism, and glycerin provides a mild effect, improving and normalizing sleep.

The drug "Cocarboxylase", reviews of which are very positive, does not differ much from "Cocarboxylase-Forte" in terms of pharmacological actions. It is also successfully used in cases of violation acid-base balance and for the prevention of complications in diabetes mellitus.

"Cocarboxylase-Forte": clinical trials

Experts assure that Cocarboxylase-Forte is very effective for use in complex therapy in patients suffering from diabetes, coronary heart disease, dystonia, and metabolic processes, as well as to prevent the development of complications in the cardiovascular system.

"Cocarboxylase-Forte": advantages

This drug is this moment are more often purchased than “Cocarboxylase” for injection, due to the advantages of use without discomfort and the absence of additional costs in the form of syringes, water for injection, etc.

This is especially important for children who suffer from the above diseases. After all, the fact that they have been exposed to such an illness already causes them a lot of trouble, and it is very important to provide them with at least comfortable treatment without the use of needles.

Method of use of the drug and its contraindications

"Cocarboxylase-Forte" is not prescribed to those people who have increased sensitivity to the components. It is also not recommended for pregnant women. The drug is not prescribed to children under twelve years of age.

Diabetic patients taking Cocarboxylase-Forte should monitor their blood sugar levels daily.

The dosage is always determined by the attending physician. Adults and children over the age of twelve take one tablet under the tongue until completely dissolved, 3-4 times a day. It is also intended to be administered orally 15 minutes before meals 3-4 times a day; the tablet should be taken with a small amount of water. The course of treatment usually lasts no more than a month.

Side effects of Cocarboxylase-Forte

"Cocarboxylase": indications for use

The use of Cocarboxylase reduces the concentration of pyruvic and lactic acid, improves glucose processing, has a positive effect on the trophism of nerve tissue, and normalizes the functionality of the cardiovascular system. If the body is deficient in this substance, the level of pyruvic acid in the blood increases, which can lead to the development of acidosis.

Cocarboxylase hydrochloride intramuscular good support for the heart

Today I felt inspired to write reviews about medications. It’s already night outside, but I still can’t stop))).

This time, I’ll tell you about a drug that helped me restore my heart and maintain my body’s strength after childbirth. When you're on your feet around the clock, postpartum depression, and then there are two kids at once, it’s very difficult for my motor. Therefore, when arrhythmia began and my body began to tremble from lack of sleep (especially nightly pumping milk), I asked my mother to give me injections of Cocarboxylase hydrochloride intramuscularly.

Fortunately, my mother is a doctor and for injections, I don’t have to go to the hospital.

My course of treatment was simple: for one day I was injected with the drug ATP (also to support the heart).

On the second day, Cocarboxylase hydrochloride was injected.

By alternating these drugs, my heart received a kind of “vitamins” that gave me the strength to take care of my children around the clock.

The package contains 10 bottles of cocarboxylase + 10 bottles of solvents for intramuscular injection.

Unfortunately, I can’t show photos of ATF, since those injections are over. And my mother bought another package of cocarboxylase. I will show part of the instructions for use in the photo. But it clearly states that if you have heart problems and poor carbohydrate metabolism, you can inject this drug. At that time I already had tachycardia, since I had not slept normally for almost half a year. And my husband didn’t help either. I have laid out the method of using this drug sequentially. For those interested, you can read how to dilute injections before use.

My course of treatment to restore the heart rhythm and improve its functioning was 20 days.

10 days ATP drug + 10 days cocarboxylase drug.

The injections are very painful, especially cocarboxylase. It feels like a bee stung me. At the end of the treatment, I was already crying from the injections.

But how my heart began to work later. Like new! The arrhythmia and tachycardia went away, I felt a surge of strength and energy. I don't regret going through all this. Even the circles under the eyes are gone))).

The price of the drug for 10 ampoules is 70 hryvnia, or 300 rubles.

The entire course of treatment cost me 150 hryvnia (including ATP).

Cocarboxylase - solution for injection

Many pharmaceutical companies they are bringing to market the medicine Cocarboxylase, which belongs to the simple B vitamins. Each ampoule contains 0.05 grams of the main component. The package also contains an additional ampoule with a solution for diluting the powder. The drug is available in powder for injection, which will be dissolved before direct administration. The package contains 5 or 10 ampoules.

Pharmacological properties

This product provides next action on the body:

  • coenzyme;
  • takes part together with sodium and proteins in accelerating carboxylation and decarboxylation;
  • accelerates the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A, which helps normalize carbohydrate metabolism.

Pharmacodynamics

At parenteral administration the drug component is quickly and completely absorbed mainly in the small intestine and duodenum. Only 11 hours after use, cocarboxylase is eliminated from the body. During the study of the drug, it was possible to find out that it is found in all tissues, and is especially abundant in the liver, heart and brain.

Cocarboxylase helps glucose to be absorbed and the cardiovascular organs to function normally. Also, the main component helps improve tissue nutrition. Its lack provokes the accumulation of acids, and acidosis develops and its consequence is acidotic coma. Cocarboxylase is most often recommended in the presence of pathologies during which endogenous deficiency is observed.

Pharmacokinetics

When it enters the bloodstream, the main component of the drug is picked up by red blood cells and distributed throughout the body in the form of thiamine diphosphate. Metabolic processes occur in the liver, and the drug is excreted through the kidneys in the urine.

Indications

Doctors prescribe Cocarboxylase if the patient has the following diseases:

  • diabetic, metabolic and respiratory acidosis;
  • heart failure;
  • impairment of kidney function;
  • breathing problems;
  • cardiosclerosis that occurred after a heart attack;
  • disruption of carbohydrate metabolism;
  • heart attack;
  • unstable angina;
  • coronary heart disease, which occurs in a chronic form;
  • diabetic and hepatic coma;
  • acute alcohol poisoning and its consequences;
  • a history of chronic alcoholism;
  • multiple sclerosis;
  • various infectious diseases;
  • sepsis followed by hypoxia and acidosis.

Contraindications

The only contraindication to the use of the drug is the presence of an allergic reaction to its main or auxiliary components.

Side effects

During clinical studies, it was found that Cocarboxylase can provoke the appearance of negative reactions when using a dose that exceeds 0.5 grams per day. Patients complain of the development of such sensations:

  • loss of appetite;
  • pain in the stomach area;
  • be sick;
  • anxiety and fear appear;
  • sleep is disturbed;
  • rash, hives and itching occur on the skin.

When the drug is administered intramuscularly, the following may develop: adverse reactions, which are local in nature:

Dosage

The instructions describe the following methods of administering the drug:

Only a doctor has the right to prescribe the dose, frequency of administration and course of therapy, which depends on the health status of each individual patient.

The average dose for an adult is 1-2 ampoules per day. The doctor may decide to administer the drug with a break that does not exceed just a few hours. Most often this happens when the patient is diagnosed with a diabetic coma, and after the condition improves, it is enough to use 50 milligrams per day.

Circulatory disorders

Dose of Cocarboxylase for this disease: 1 ampoule up to 3 times a day. The duration of therapy can range from 14 days to 1 month.

Diabetes

Patients with this pathology must be administered the drug at a dose of 100–1000 milligrams per day for up to 10 days without a break. Along with this, it is necessary to take other medications for diabetes.

In the presence of acute renal and liver failure in the first few days, Cocarboxylase is administered into a vein, 1-3 ampoules 3 times a day. You can also use the drug by drip. To do this, dissolve the required mg of the drug in 400 ml of a 5% glucose solution.

Neuritis

For this disease, the medicine is administered intramuscularly, 1-2 ampoules per day. The course of treatment ranges from 30 to 45 days.

For children

Children who have not reached 3 months of age can be administered 25 mg of Cocarboxylase subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Patients from 3 months to 7 years are prescribed mg per day, and from 8 to 18 years mg can be used.

Pregnant

If the doctor takes responsibility and decides to prescribe Cocarboxylase to a pregnant woman, then it is diluted with glucose and vitamin C and administered intravenously. The duration of therapy ranges from 10 days to two months. The main indications for use of the drug during this period are:

Overdose

If you exceed the dose prescribed by your doctor, the following symptoms may appear:

  • heart rate increases;
  • be sick;
  • gagging;
  • headache;
  • feeling weak and overworked;
  • muscles spasm;
  • the functioning of the cardiovascular system is disrupted;
  • sweating increases;
  • shortness of breath and allergic reactions appear.

If one or more symptoms develop, you must stop administering the drug and contact your doctor. medical institution, where doctors can provide first aid and provide symptomatic treatment for an overdose.

Drug interactions

Cocarboxylase is very actively combined with various medications and biologically active substances. Let's look at the main interactions:

  1. With antidepressants, activity increases.
  2. B vitamins contribute to the activation of therapeutic effects.
  3. Digoxin - provokes a decrease in the ability of the myocardiocyte to absorb the active substance and its metabolites.

It is forbidden to combine Cocarboxylase with drugs that have an alkaline or neutral reaction.

Features of application

During complex treatment of any disease, it is worth considering the ability of the main component to activate the cardiotonic activity of drugs from the group of cardiac glycosides. In the presence of atrial fibrillation intravenous administration of the drug is prohibited.

During pregnancy

For ethical reasons clinical researches No studies have been conducted on the effect of cocarboxylase on pregnant, lactating women and their babies. For this reason, it is not recommended to use this drug during this period.

Reaction

How Cocarboxylase affects the reaction rate while driving a car or working with other mechanisms is unknown, because manufacturers have not studied this issue.

Acquisition

You can buy Cocarboxylase in injections if you provide a prescription from your doctor, which will indicate the required dose and course of treatment.

Storage

To save therapeutic effect you must adhere to the following rules:

  • the temperature in the room where the medicine is located should not exceed 25 degrees;
  • humidity must be kept low;
  • ampoules should be kept away from children and direct sunlight.

The expiration date is indicated on the packaging and should not exceed 36 months. After this period has expired, the ampoules must be disposed of.

Analogues

Instructions for the use of Cocarboxylase injections indicate the presence of the following analogues:

Price

The cost of the drug directly depends on the manufacturer of the drug and the retail outlet. The average price for 5 ampoules of Cocarboxylase is 50 rubles, which makes the medicine accessible to different segments of the population.

Cocarboxylase - instructions for use, analogs, reviews and release forms (injections in ampoules for intravenous and intramuscular injections of hydrochloride) of a drug for the treatment of acidosis and coma in adults, children and pregnancy. Compound

In this article you can read the instructions for use of the drug Cocarboxylase. Feedback from site visitors - consumers - is presented of this medicine, as well as the opinions of specialist doctors on the use of Cocarboxylase in their practice. We kindly ask you to actively add your reviews about the drug: whether the medicine helped or did not help get rid of the disease, what complications were observed and side effects, perhaps not stated by the manufacturer in the annotation. Analogues of Cocarboxylase in the presence of existing structural analogues. Use for the treatment of acidosis, diabetic coma and liver and kidney failure in adults, children, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Composition of the drug.

Cocarboxylase is a coenzyme formed in the body from thiamine. Has a metabolic effect, activates tissue metabolism. In the body it is phosphorylated to form mono-, di- and triphosphoric esters; cocarboxylase is part of enzymes that catalyze the carboxylation and decarboxylation of keto acids, pyruvic acid, and promotes the formation of acetyl coenzyme A, which determines its participation in carbohydrate metabolism. Participation in the pentose cycle indirectly promotes the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids.

Improves the absorption of glucose, trophism of nervous tissue, and helps normalize the functions of the cardiovascular system.

Cocarboxylase deficiency causes an increase in the level of pyruvic and lactic acids in the blood, which leads to acidosis and acidotic coma.

pharmachologic effect

Cocarboxylase has a coenzyme effect, as it is a coenzyme of thiamine. In combination with protein and magnesium ions, it catalyzes the carboxylation and decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids, and also stimulates the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A, thereby normalizing carbohydrate metabolism.

Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics

Cocarboxylase is characterized by rapid and absolute absorption when administered parenterally. Absorption occurs mainly in the small intestine and duodenum. Clearance - approximately 11 hours. The active substance of the drug almost completely penetrates into all tissues, but its highest concentration is observed in the liver, kidneys, brain and heart.

Transportation in the blood occurs with the help of red blood cells, which contain about 80% total number cocarboxylase in the form of thiamine diphosphate. Metabolism active substance carried out in the liver. The drug is excreted from the body in the urine in an amount depending on the dose taken.

Cocarboxylasum is the active form of vitamin B1, which has a metabolic effect by activating tissue metabolism. Phosphorylates in the body, forming mono-, di- and triphosphoric esters. This substance belongs to the group of enzymes that catalyze the carboxylation and decarboxylation of keto acids, pyruvic acid, and also stimulates the formation of acetyl coenzyme A, due to which it participates in carbohydrate metabolism.

The drug promotes the absorption of glucose and normalizes the functions of the cardiovascular system. In addition, the substance improves tissue trophism, and with its deficiency, an increase in the content of pyruvic acid and lactic acid in the blood occurs, which can provoke the development of acidosis and ultimately lead to acidotic coma.

This drug is prescribed for diseases accompanied by endogenous cocarboxylase deficiency in combination with B vitamin.

Thank you

Substances included in the group of vitamin B 1 (thiamine) have an active effect on the functioning of the body, participating in metabolism and neuro-reflex reactions. They are able to provide positive influence for various diseases, and therefore are considered as medicines.

Dosage form

Cocarboxylase produced in powder form for intravenous administration in ampoules, plus solvent.

Properties and action

Cocarboxylase (thiamine pyrophosphate, thiamine diphosphate) is a vitamin-like coenzyme that regulates metabolism and energy exchange in tissues. It regulates metabolism in nervous tissue, stabilizes the work circulatory system. Recommended for diseases that require restoration of saccharide and fat metabolism.

Cocarboxylase is endogenously synthesized from vitamin B1 and is a coenzyme. Coenzymes (coenzymes) are components of enzymes - proteins that serve as catalysts for all biochemical reactions. The functions of coenzymes are usually performed by vitamins. Cocarboxylase is a coenzyme of enzymes that regulate saccharide metabolism. In combination with protein and magnesium ions, it is integral part carboxylase enzyme, which serves as a regulator of saccharide metabolism, prevents the accumulation of lactic and pyruvic acids in the body, and stimulates the absorption of glucose. All this contributes to more efficient energy production, which means improved metabolism throughout the body.

Thiamine, entering the body, is first broken down into cocarboxylase, and only in this form does it take part in metabolic processes. Thus, cocarboxylase is the active form of coenzyme obtained from thiamine during its endogenous breakdown. However biochemical properties thiamine pyrophosphate are not identical to the properties of thiamine, therefore, cocarboxylase is not used in the treatment of diseases caused by vitamin B1 deficiency. It is used in complex therapy for various pathological conditions, requiring stabilization of carbohydrate metabolism.

Thiamine pyrophosphate promotes the absorption of glucose, normalizes metabolism in nervous tissue, and restores the functions of the heart muscle. A lack of cocarboxylase leads to an imbalance in the acid-base balance of the blood (acidosis), which leads to severe pathologies of all organs and systems, and can lead to coma and death.

The effectiveness of cocarboxylase has been proven by many clinical studies.

Indications and contraindications

Cocarboxylase is recommended as part of complex treatment for the following diseases and pathological conditions:
  • with acidosis that has developed due to metabolic disorders during various pathologies, for example, during a diabetic crisis (fainting due to high concentration blood glucose);
  • for respiratory and heart failure, incl. in newborns;
  • for chronic cardiovascular failure;
  • with ischemic heart disease, incl. pre-infarction conditions, myocardial infarction, post-infarction conditions;
  • in cases of impaired liver and kidney function;
  • with alcohol abuse;
  • for toxicosis caused by certain medications (glycosides, barbiturates);
  • at infectious diseases(diphtheria, typhus, etc.);
  • for pathologies nervous system(pain and inflammatory reactions peripheral nerves, multiple sclerosis, etc.);
  • for brain pathologies in newborns caused by hypoxia;
  • for any conditions characterized by impaired saccharide metabolism.

Thiamine pyrophosphate is contraindicated for use in case of individual intolerance.
It is recommended to obtain medical advice before using the drug.

Side effects and symptoms of overdose

Side effects of cocarboxylase combine allergic etiology: cutaneous

If the acid-base balance in the body is disturbed, acidosis can occur. This serious pathology associated with human metabolic problems. Its consequences may include renal, hepatic, and respiratory failure. To rid a person of the problem of acidification of the body, special coenzyme preparations are used, for example, the drug Cocarboxylase.

Instructions for use of Cocarboxylase

In Latin, the name of the drug sounds like Cocarboxylase, the medication is produced by domestic and foreign manufacturers, and has been known for a long time. The active component of the drug is cocarboxylase hydrochloride, which has coenzyme properties, eliminates the manifestations of acidosis and returns the human body to normal functioning.

Composition and release form

The drug is known only in the format of a lyophilisate - powder for preparation parenteral solution. Composition and description:

Pharmacological properties

Cocarboxylase is a coenzyme ( organic compound, which plays an important role in the reactions) thiamine (vitamin B1). In combination with proteins and magnesium ions, it catalyzes (accelerates) the process of carboxylation and decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids and stimulates the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A. This leads to the normalization of carbohydrate metabolism.

The active substance of the drug is quickly and completely absorbed when administered parenterally. Absorption of the component occurs in the small intestine and duodenum; the substance is excreted after 11 hours. The drug is found in the liver, brain, kidneys, and heart. Red blood cells carry active ingredient medications in the form of thiamine diphosphate. Metabolism of the component occurs in the liver, metabolites are excreted in the urine.

The metabolic effect of the drug occurs due to the activation of tissue metabolism. Cocarboxylase powder is phosphorylated to form phosphorus esters, promotes the rapid absorption of glucose and normalizes the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Also, the active component of the composition improves tissue trophism; with a lack of substance, the level of pyruvic and lactic acids in the blood increases, which leads to the development of acidosis and acidotic coma.
