Description
Remaxol Pharmacodynamics
REMAXOL® is a balanced infusion solution with hepatoprotective effect.
The drug accelerates the transition of anaerobic processes into aerobic ones, improves energy supply of hepatocytes, increases macroerg synthesis, increases resistance of hepatocyte membranes to lipid peroxidation, restores the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes.
REMAXOL® decreases cytolysis, which is manifested by the decrease of indicator enzymes: aspartate aminotransferases, alanine aminotransferases.
REMAXOL® promotes reduction of bilirubin and its fractions, improves excretion of direct bilirubin into bile. Reduces activity of hepatocyte excretory enzymes – alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, promotes oxidation of cholesterol into bile acids.
