PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
The mechanism of action is due to the direct influence of the gopantenic acid on the GABA Р±- receptor-channel complex. The drug has nootropic and anticonvulsant action. Increases brain resistance to hypoxia and toxic substances, stimulates anabolic processes in neurons, combines moderate sedation with mild stimulating effect, has an anticonvulsant effect, reduces motor excitability. Increases mental and physical performance. Helps normalize GABA content in chronic alcohol intoxication and subsequent ethanol elimination. Prolongs the effect of novocaine and sulfonamides due to the inhibition of the reactions of their acetylation. It causes inhibition of the pathologically increased vesicle reflex and detrusor tone.
