Clinical Pharmacology

Mexidol® has antihypoxic, membrane-protective, nootropic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic effect, increases the body's resistance to stress. The drug increases the body's resistance to the effects of major damaging factors, to oxygen-dependent pathological conditions (shock, hypoxia and ischemia, impaired cerebral circulation, intoxication with alcohol and antipsychotics (neuroleptics)).

Mexidol® improves brain metabolism and blood supply to the brain, improves microcirculation and blood rheological properties, and reduces platelet aggregation. Stabilizes the membrane structure of blood cells (erythrocytes and platelets) during hemolysis. It has a hypolipidemic effect, reduces the level of total cholesterol and LDL. Reduces enzymatic toxemia and endogenous intoxication in acute pancreatitis.

The mechanism of action of Mexidol® is due to its antihypoxant, antioxidant and membrane-protective action. It inhibits lipid peroxidation, increases the activity of superoxide dismutase, increases the ratio of lipid-protein, reduces the viscosity of the membrane, increases its fluidity. Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes (calcium-independent phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, acetylcholinesterase), receptor complexes (benzodiazepine, GABA, acetylcholine), which enhances their ability to bind to ligands, helps to preserve the structural and functional organization of biomembrane as a picture of a new mode of amateur synthesis of the same as a picture of a new mode for a day. Mexidol® increases the dopamine content in the brain. It causes an increase in the compensatory activity of aerobic glycolysis and a decrease in the degree of inhibition of oxidative processes in the Krebs cycle under hypoxic conditions, with an increase in ATP, creatine phosphate and activation of energy-synthesizing functions of mitochondria, stabilization of cell membranes.

Mexidol® normalizes metabolic processes in ischemic myocardium, reduces the area of necrosis, restores and improves electrical activity and myocardial contractility, and also increases coronary blood flow in the ischemic area, reduces the effects of reperfusion syndrome in acute coronary insufficiency. Increases the antianginal activity of nitropreparatov.

Mexidol® contributes to the preservation of retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve fibers with progressive neuropathy, the causes of which are chronic ischemia and hypoxia. It improves the functional activity of the retina and optic nerve, increasing visual acuity.
