INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.
Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2014.
PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Actovegin - antihypoxant, activates the metabolism of glucose and oxygen.
Actovegin causes an increase in cellular energy metabolism. Its activity is confirmed by increased consumption and increased utilization of glucose and oxygen by cells. These two effects are conjugate, they cause an increase in the metabolism of ATP and, consequently, increase energy metabolism. The result is the stimulation and acceleration of the healing process, characterized by increased energy consumption.
