INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.
Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2013.
PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Carnosine is a histidine-containing dipeptide, one of the natural metabolic products in the human body. It is a biologically active dipeptide, which affects metabolic processes: glycolysis, oxidative
phosphorylation. The mechanism of action is due to antioxidant and membrane-protective action. Carnosine inhibits lipid peroxidation, enhances antioxidant defense, increases the body's resistance to the effects of various pathological factors in oxygen-dependent states. Carnosine has an accelerating effect on the processes of oxidative phosphorylation. Strengthens the synthesis of ATP, calculates the ratio of Ca 2+ / ATP in the disturbed active transport of calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, increases the efficiency of active transport of sodium and potassium ions. Accelerates the healing of defects and damage to the corneal epithelium of traumatic, chemical, radiation, infectious and trophic etiology. Has a pronounced therapeutic effectiveness in the complex treatment of trophic keratitis, postherpetic epitheliopathy, primary and secondary corneal dystrophy, recurrent corneal erosion, bullous keratopathy. Carnosine in the composition of complex therapy accelerates the healing of ulcerative keratopathy of the cornea with herpesvirus and bacterial infection, dry ksratokonjuktivite.
