INSTRUCTIONS
for use of the drug
Actovegin
Compound:
Protein-free (deproteinized) extract (hemoderivate) from the blood of calves. Contains 40 mg of dry matter in 1 ml.
Pharmacological group:
Medicines that primarily affect tissue metabolic processes
Biogenic stimulants
Pharmachologic effect:
Actovegin activates cellular metabolism (metabolism) by increasing the transport and accumulation of glucose and oxygen, enhancing their intracellular utilization. These processes lead to an acceleration of ATP (adenosine triphosphoric acid) metabolism and an increase in the energy resources of the cell. Under conditions that limit normal functions energy metabolism (hypoxia / insufficient supply of oxygen to tissue or impaired absorption /, lack of substrate) and with increased energy consumption (healing, regeneration / tissue restoration /), actovegin stimulates the energy processes of functional metabolism (metabolism process in the body) and anabolism (process absorption of substances by the body). The secondary effect is increased blood supply.
Indications for use:
Failure cerebral circulation, ischemic stroke(insufficient oxygen supply to brain tissue due to acute disorder cerebral circulation); traumatic brain injuries; disorders of peripheral circulation (arterial, venous); angiopathy (impaired vascular tone); trophic disorders(skin nutritional disorders) with varicose veins veins lower limbs(changes in veins, characterized by an uneven increase in their lumen with the formation of protrusion of the wall due to dysfunction of their valve apparatus); ulcers of various origins; bedsores (tissue death caused by prolonged pressure on them due to lying down); burns; prevention and treatment of radiation injuries.
Damage to the cornea (the transparent membrane of the eye) and sclera (the opaque membrane of the eye): burn of the cornea (acids, alkali, lime); corneal ulcers of various origins; keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), including after corneal transplantation; corneal abrasions in patients wearing contact lenses; prevention of damage during selection contact lenses in patients with degenerative processes in the cornea (for the use of eye jelly), as well as to accelerate the healing of trophic ulcers (slow-healing skin defects), bedsores (tissue necrosis caused by prolonged pressure on them due to lying down), burns, radiation damage to the skin, etc.
Mode of application:
Doses and route of administration depend on the type and severity of the disease. The drug is prescribed orally, parenterally (bypassing digestive tract) and locally.
1-2 tablets are prescribed orally 3 times a day before meals. Do not chew the pills, wash them down with a small amount of water.
For intravenous or intraarterial administration, depending on the severity of the disease, the initial dose is 10-20 ml. Then 5 ml is prescribed intravenously slowly or intramuscularly, 1 time per day every day or several times a week. 250 ml of solution for infusion is injected intravenously at a rate of 2-3 ml per minute once a day every day or several times a week. You can also use 10, 20 or 50 ml of solution for injection, diluted in 200-300 ml of glucose or saline. A total of 10-20 infusions per course of treatment. IN infusion solution It is not recommended to add other drugs.

Actovegin is a naturally produced product and has a high pricing policy, which is why there are cheaper analogues that improve oxygen saturation of tissues.
pharmachologic effect
An antihypoxant is a hemoderivative, which is obtained through dialysis and ultrafiltration (compounds penetrate molecular weight less than 5000 daltons).
Increases the utilization of glucose by cells, increases oxygen consumption, enhances oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, thereby increasing ATP levels and normalizing cell metabolism and energy balance in tissues.
Actovegin ® increases the concentrations of ATP, ADP, phosphocreatine, as well as amino acids (glutamate, aspartate) and GABA.
The effect of the drug Actovegin ® on the absorption and utilization of oxygen, as well as insulin-like activity with stimulation of glucose transport and oxidation are significant in the treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy.
In patients with diabetes mellitus and diabetic polyneuropathy Actovegin ® significantly reduces the symptoms of polyneuropathy ( stabbing pain, burning sensation, paresthesia, numbness of the lower extremities). Sensitivity disorders are objectively reduced and the mental well-being of patients is improved.
The effect of Actovegin begins to appear no later than 30 minutes after oral administration and reaches a maximum, on average, after 3 hours (2-6 hours).
Pharmacokinetics
Using pharmacokinetic methods it is impossible to study pharmacokinetic characteristics (absorption, distribution, excretion) active ingredients Actovegin ® drug, since it consists only of physiological components that are usually present in the body.
