Description:
The appearance of the capsule is brown hard gelatin capsules, size “1”. The appearance of the contents of the capsule is a yellow powder. The main active ingredient is Silymarin. Release formCapsules. Dosage 140 mg. Special indicationsPharmacotherapeutic group Means for the treatment of liver diseases, lipotropic agents. ATX code: A05BA03. Pharmacological action The antitoxic action of silymarin has been demonstrated in animal studies using numerous models of liver damage, for example, poisons of the pale toadstool (phalloidin and amanitin), as well as lanthanides, carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine, thiocetamine and hepatotoxic frog virus FV3. The therapeutic effect of silymarin is associated with several mechanisms of action: due to the ability to bind free radicals, silymarin has antioxidant activity, stopping or preventing the pathophysiological process of lipid peroxidation, which leads to the destruction of cell membranes. In addition, in already damaged liver cells, silymarin stimulates protein synthesis and normalizes the metabolism of phospholipids. The general result of its action is the stabilization of the cell membrane, as well as the weakening or prevention of the loss of intracellular contents in dissolved form (for example, transaminases). Silymarin limits the entry into the cell of certain hepatotoxic substances (poisons of the pale toadstool). Silymarin activates protein synthesis by stimulating RNA polymerase I, an enzyme localized in the nucleus. This leads to increased formation of ribosomal RNA, due to which structural and functional proteins (enzymes) are synthesized in greater quantities. As a result, the reparative capacity and regenerative potential of the liver increase. Pharmacokinetics Indications for use Liver toxicity: for maintenance therapy in patients with chronic inflammatory liver disease or cirrhosis.
