Description

Citipigam Compositum Pharmacodynamics
Benfothiamine, a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1), is phosphorylated in the body to the biologically active coenzymes thiamine diphosphate and thiamine triphosphate. Thiamine diphosphate is a coenzyme of pyruvate decarboxylase. 2-oxyglutarate dehydrogenase and transketolase, thus participating in the pentose phosphate cycle of glucose oxidation (in the transfer of the aldehyde group).
Phosphorylated form of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) – pyridoxalphosphate – is a coenzyme of several enzymes affecting all stages of non-oxidative metabolism of amino acids. Pyridoxal phosphate is involved in the decarboxylation of amino acids and therefore in the formation of physiologically active amines (e.g., adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine, tyramine). Pyridoxal phosphate is involved in anabolic and catabolic processes (e.g. it is a coenzyme of such transaminases as glutamate oxalocetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, GABA, a-ketoglutarate transaminase) as well as in various reactions of amino acid breakdown and synthesis. Vitamin B6 is involved in 4 different steps of tryptophan metabolism.

  • If otherwise is not prescribed by the attending physician, an adult patient should take 1 tablet a day.
  • In acute cases, after doctor’s consultation, the dose may be increased to 1 tablet 3 times a day. After 4 weeks of treatment the physician should decide whether to continue taking the drug in an increased dose and consider reducing the increased dose of vitamins B1 and B6 to 1 tablet per day. If possible, the dose should be reduced to 1 tablet daily to reduce the risk of vitamin B6-associated neuropathy.
