Description:
Pills of yellow or yellow color with a greenish tint, flat-cylindrical, with a bevel. Composition Each tablet contains: active ingredient: drotaverine hydrochloride – 40 mg; excipients: lactose monohydrate, potato starch, talc, stearic acid. Pharmacotherapeutic group Synthetic antispasmodics. Papaverine derivatives. ATX code – A03AD02. Pharmacological properties Pharmacodynamics Drotaverine is an isoquinoline derivative that exhibits an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscles by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase IV (PDE IV). Inhibition of the enzyme phosphodiesterase IV leads to an increased concentration of cAMP, which inactivates the myosin kinase (MLCK) light chain, which in turn leads to smooth muscle relaxation. Drotaverine inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase (PDE) IV without inhibiting the isoenzymes PDE III and PDE V. PDE IV is functionally very important in reducing smooth muscle contractility and selective PDE IV inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of hyperkinetic diseases and various conditions associated with spastic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. intestinal tract. The enzyme hydrolyzing cAMP in myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cells is mainly PDE III isoenzyme, which explains why drotaverine is an effective antispasmodic agent without cardiovascular side effects and a pronounced effect on the cardiovascular system. The drug is effective in spasms of smooth muscles caused by a violation of the nervous regulation and self-regulation of both nervous and muscular etiology. Regardless of the type of autonomic innervation, drotaverine acts on smooth muscles located in the gastrointestinal, biliary, urogenital and vascular systems. Due to its vasodilating effect, it improves tissue circulation. Its action is stronger than that of papaverine, and absorption is faster and more complete, it binds less to plasma proteins. The advantage of drotaverine is that it does not have a stimulating effect on the respiratory system, which was observed after parenteral administration of papaverine. Pharmacokinetics Absorption When administered orally, drotaverine hydrochloride is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, the half-absorption period is 12 minutes. Bioavailability – about 100%. Cmax in serum is reached in 45 – 60 minutes. Distribution Drotaverine hydrochloride does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Metabolism Drotaverine hydrochloride is biotransformed in the liver. Withdrawal After 72 hours, it is practically excreted from the body in the form of metabolites – 50% in the urine and 30% in the feces.
