pharmachologic effect

Actovegin has a positive effect on the transport and utilization of glucose, stimulates oxygen consumption (which leads to stabilization of the plasma membranes of cells during ischemia and a decrease in the formation of lactates), thus having an antihypoxic effect, which begins to manifest itself at the latest 30 minutes (10-30 minutes) after parenteral administration and reaches a maximum and average after 3 hours (2-6 hours).

Actovegin increases the concentration of ATP, LDF, phosphocreatine, as well as amino acids - glutamate, aspartate and GABA.

The use of the drug Actovegin to accelerate wound healing is also based on the data mentioned above. At the same time, not only morphological, but also biochemical parameters of granulations improve - the concentration of DNA increases. hemoglobin and hydroxyproline.
