Pharmacological properties

The drug belongs to the group of hepatoprotective agents. Essential phospholipids (active components) have a complex structure and are esters derived from phosphatidic and unsaturated fatty acids. They have a structural similarity to the membranes of cells and hepatocytes and are responsible for the degree of membrane permeability, as well as for the production of enzymes that are responsible for the communication between these membranes.

The components are also involved in the processes of oxidation and production of phospholipids and general lipid metabolism in the case of destruction of hepatocytes of various origins. Substances regenerate damaged membranes, while suppressing oxidative reactions. They take on the toxic effects, so that the membrane lipids remain intact.

The drug is able to restore damaged liver tissues and cells, and also normalizes all the properties of bile. Thiamine mononitrate is a coenzyme and takes part in metabolic processes associated with carbohydrates. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is involved in metabolic reactions associated with the interaction of amino acids and proteins.

Riboflavin is a substance that provides and normalizes the processes necessary for the full saturation of cells with oxygen. Vitamin B₁₂ takes an active part in the reactions of combining and interaction of nucleoside phosphates.

Nicotinamide regulates the processes of fat and carbohydrate metabolism. In doing so, it also provides an adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant and prevents the development of oxidative processes caused by the negative effect of various substances on lipids.
