Pharmacological properties:

Pharmacodynamics. Antigipoksant. АКТОВЕГИН® is hemoderivative which is received by means of dialysis and ultrafiltration (there take place connections with molecular weight less than 5000 дальтон). Positively influences transport and utilization of glucose, stimulates oxygen consumption (that leads to stabilization of plasma membranes of cells at ischemia and to decrease in formation of lactates) possessing, thus, anti-hypoxemic action which begins to be shown the latest in 30 min. after peroral introduction and reaches a maximum on average in 3 h (2-6 h).
АКТОВЕГИН® increases concentration of adenosinetriphosphate, adenosinediphosphate, phosphocreatinine, and also amino acids – a glutamate, aspartate and piperidic acid.

Pharmacokinetics. By means of pharmacokinetic methods it is impossible to study pharmacokinetic indicators of the drug AKTOVEGIN® as it consists only of physiological components which usually are present at an organism.
So far decrease in pharmacological effect of hemoderivatives at patients with the changed pharmacokinetics is not revealed (for example, a liver or renal failure, the metabolism changes connected with old age and also features of metabolism at newborns).
