Actovegin (250 ml 20%)
Pharmacological Effects:
Actovegin activates cell metabolism (metabolism) by increasing the transport and accumulation of glucose and oxygen, increasing their intracellular disposal. These processes lead to the acceleration of the metabolism of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and increase energy cells. Under conditions that restrict the normal functions of energy metabolism (hypoxia / insufficient oxygen supply or violation of its assimilation / lack of substrate) and with increased consumption of energy (healing, regeneration / tissue repair /), Actovegin stimulate energetic processes of the functional metabolism (the process of metabolism in body) and anabolism (the process of assimilation of substances by the body). Secondary effect is to increase blood flow.

Intravenously can be administered not more than 5 ml as hypertonic solution has the properties (osmotic pressure of the solution is higher than the osmotic pressure of blood). With intravenous drug use is recommended to monitor the performance of water-electrolyte metabolism.
Local application. Gel is indicated for the purification and treatment of open wounds and ulcers. For burns and radiation injuries gel applied to the skin with a thin layer. In the treatment of ulcers of the gel applied to the skin over a thick layer and cover wrap with ointment actovegin to prevent sticking to the wound. Dressing changes produce a once a week, with much weeping sores - several times a day.
Cream is used to improve wound healing, and weeping wounds. Use after the formation of pressure ulcers and prevention of radiation injuries.
The ointment is applied with a thin layer on the skin. Apply for the long-term treatment of wounds and ulcers in order to accelerate their epitelizaiii (healing) after treatment with gel or cream. For the prevention of pressure sores ointment should be applied to relevant areas of the skin. For the prevention of radiation skin lesions ointment should be applied after exposure or in the intervals between sessions.
Eye gel. In the affected eye directly from the tube squeezed a drop of gel. Apply 2-3 times a day. After opening the eye gel can be used not more than 4 weeks.
