Pharmacotherapeutic group:
metabolic agent.
KODATH: [С01ЕВ].
Pharmacological properties:
Riboxin is a derivative (nucleoside) of purine - the precursor of ATP adenosine triphosphate. It belongs to the group of drugs that stimulate metabolic processes. It has antihypoxic and antiarrhythmic effects. Increases the energy balance of the myocardium, improves coronary circulation, prevents the effects of intraoperative renal ischemia. He is directly involved in glucose metabolism and contributes to the activation of metabolism in hypoxic conditions and in the absence of ATP.
It activates the metabolism of pyruvic acid to ensure the normal process of tissue respiration, and also contributes to the activation of xanthine dehydrogenase. Stimulates the synthesis of nucleotides, enhances the activity of certain enzymes of the Krebs cycle. Penetrating into the cells, it has a positive effect on metabolic processes in the myocardium - it increases the strength of the heart contractions and contributes to a more complete relaxation of the myocardium in diastole, as a result of which the stroke volume increases. The mechanism of antiarrhythmic action is not fully understood.
Reduces platelet aggregation, activates tissue regeneration (especially the myocardium and gastrointestinal mucosa).
Pharmacokinetics
Metabolized in the liver with the formation of glucuronic acid and its subsequent oxidation. In small quantities excreted in the urine.
Comprehensive treatment of myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias caused by the use of cardiac glycosides, on the background of myocardial dystrophy after infectious diseases. Liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty degeneration). Surgery on an isolated kidney (as a means of pharmacological protection when blood circulation is turned off).

The drug is administered intravenously in a stream slowly or drip (40-60 drops in 1 minute). Treatment begins with the introduction of 200 mg (10 ml of 2% solution) 1 time per day, then, with good endurance, the dose is increased to 400 mg (20 ml of 2% solution) 1-2 times a day.
Duration of treatment is 10-15 days.
Jet injection of the drug is possible with acute arrhythmias in a single dose of 200-400 mg.
For pharmacological protection of ischemic kidneys, riboxin is administered intravenously in a single dose, 1.2 g (60 ml of a 2% solution) 5–15 minutes before clamping the renal artery, and then another 0.8 g (40 ml of a 2% solution ) immediately after the restoration of blood circulation.
When drip into a vein, a 2% solution of the drug is diluted in 5% dextrose solution (glucose) or isotonic sodium chloride solution (up to 250 ml).
Allergic reactions: pruritus, skin flushing (the drug should be abolished). Rarely: an increase in the concentration of uric acid in the blood, exacerbation of gout (with prolonged use).
Hypersensitivity to the drug, gout, hyperuricemia, pregnancy, lactation, age up to 18 years (efficacy and safety have not been established). Use with caution in renal failure.
