Oligim represents biologically active food supplement, which is used to improve the condition of diabetics with varying degrees of neglect of the disease.

The tablets help keep glucose levels constant. Reviews of many patients confirm the effectiveness of the medication, and can also help a person evaluate its effect before starting a therapeutic course.

Forms of release and composition of the drug

The medication of the Russian pharmaceutical company is available for purchase in the form of tablets for oral use. The mass of each reaches 0.52 g. The tablets do not have a specific smell and taste, and are also quite easy to use due to their small size.

The tablets are packaged in plastic blisters of 20 pieces. In an individual cardboard box there are 5 such plates, as well as instructions describing the rules for taking the dosage form. In the composition of the drug, inulin is present as the main active component, which has several therapeutic properties.

Additionally, the active ingredient is gimnema extract and dietary fiber.

The pharmacological agent also contains additional ingredients:

• Starch.
• Microcrystalline cellulose.
• Maltodextrin.
• Calcium stearate.
• Aerosil.

These substances have no therapeutic properties.

Pharmacological properties

Oligim - pills for diabetics, reviews of which are mostly positive. The active ingredients regulate blood sugar levels due to their natural origin and perform the function of a sugar substitute. At the same time, the substances do not contribute to a sharp decrease or a sharp increase in blood glucose levels.

Additionally, plant components prevent the rapid absorption of glucose from food entering the digestive tract. The slow release of sugar helps regulate blood sugar levels, which prevents the development of hypo- or hyperglycemic coma. Such complications often occur in patients with severe type 1 diabetes mellitus.

In addition, the drug stimulates the production of insulin and facilitates the functioning of the patient's pancreas, which additionally has a positive effect on the course of the pathological process. Thanks to the complex effect, the patient's condition is improved and the risk of complications is reduced.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The biologically active additive has a therapeutic effect due to the content of 300 mg of inulin in each tablet. At the same time, 250 mg of this amount is represented by dietary fibers, which improve the movement of food through the intestines and prevent the processes of decay, increased gas formation.

An additional property of inulin is the ability to improve the condition of muscle fibers and tissues by saturating them with useful components. As a result, the patient feels energetic, his performance remains at a high level, and seizures, in which the glucose level decreases or increases, are extremely rare.

The ability of inulin to convert into fructose in the body allows the patient to eat less food, but not feel hungry. This reduces the likelihood of eating disorders.

The extract of the gimnema plant, namely the extract from the leaves, helps to slow down the absorption of various types of sugar in the patient's small intestine. Due to this, after eating any food, substances from it are absorbed slowly, which allows you to maintain a constant level of glucose in the blood and prevent sharp fluctuations in it.

In addition, Gymnemic acids support the work of the pancreas, namely, they stimulate the production of insulin, which reduces the need for artificial administration. The work of the gland is facilitated, the risk of developing pancreatitis is reduced. The general condition of the patient improves, digestion is normalized, and the functioning of the liver is facilitated.

After the drug enters the patient's body, its active splitting occurs, which begins in the stomach and continues in the small intestine. The active substances quickly enter the bloodstream, where they begin to perform their therapeutic functions. Inulin under the influence of digestive enzymes turns into a natural sweetener, reduces the body's need for glucose.

Gymnema leaf extract, when processed in the body, releases special acids that complement the action of inulin. The maximum concentration of components in the blood is reached 2 hours after oral administration. The agent is processed in the liver, and the decay products are excreted in the urine and feces.

When taking the drug, a high bioavailability of its components is noted due to rapid binding to blood plasma proteins. The evacuation of substances from the body is carried out for 1-2 days, depending on the characteristics of the body and the state of the urinary system.

With any pathologies of this system, a slowdown in the excretion of components is observed, but this does not affect the effectiveness of the agent.
