Description
Galavit Pharmacodynamics
The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with its ability to regulate
functional and metabolic activity of innate and adaptive immunity cells (monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killers, etc.). Galavit normalizes phagocytic activity of monocytes/ macrophages, bactericidal activity of neutrophils and cytotoxic activity of NK-cells.
At the same time, restoring the reduced activity of innate and adaptive immunity cells, the drug increases the body’s resistance to infectious diseases.
Moreover Galavit normalizes antibody formation, increases functional activity (affinity) of antibodies.
At inflammatory diseases the preparation reversibly for 6-8 hours inhibits excessive synthesis by overactivated macrophages of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines which level determines the degree of inflammatory reactions, their
cyclicity, as well as the severity of intoxication of the body. Galavit decreases the production of hyperactivated macrophages of reactive oxygen species, thus
thereby reducing the level of oxidative stress and protecting tissues and organs from the damaging effects of radicals.
Normalization of excessively high functional activity of phagocytic cells leads to restoration of their antigen-presenting and regulatory functions, reducing the level of autoaggression.
The drug has no allergizing, mutagenic, embryotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects.
