Just about the drug 'Cytoflavin': instructions for use for patients

We are constantly on fire. The fire of metabolism. There is a continuous process of oxidation of various substances, as a result of which the body receives the energy necessary for a variety of processes. Sometimes it is necessary to inflate the internal flame so that the cells receive more resources. This can be done with the drug "Cytoflavin".

The instruction for use mentions two main indications for its purpose. The most common cause is ischemic conditions of the brain tissue and their consequences in the elderly. In this situation, the tissue does not receive enough oxygen chronically, so the available resources should be used as much as possible. This is exactly what "Cytoflavin" does.

Instructions for use mention the second indication - asthenic syndrome. It manifests itself as a general malaise, while a man easily gets tired. And fatigue and a bad mood for a person come in the evening, but if it's already bad in the morning, then, most likely, the patient does not have asthenia, but depression.

What does Cytoflavin consist of? The description mentions at least 2 forms, injection solution and classic tablets. However, in both cases, inosine, succinic acid and nicotinamide are present. What else is contained in the "Cytoflavin" tablets? The composition is common - calcium stearate, propylene glycol. These substances are rarely allergens.

What is the mechanism of action of the "Cytoflavin"? The application instruction says that it promotes cellular respiration, oxygen is used much more efficiently, the effect of antioxidant enzyme systems is improved. In cells, protein synthesis is enhanced, digestion of carbohydrates is enhanced, fatty acids are more quickly utilized, supplying the body with energy.

On EEG after application it is possible to see intensification of activity of many sites of a brain. The simple drug actually works miracles for those who have suffered a stroke or suffer from atherosclerosis in the area of the brain vessels. Consciousness is often returned to patients who received "Cytoflavin" intravenously. If the drug was administered in the first half a day after a stroke, then the lesion will be much less than in the absence of the administration of this drug. The likelihood that a person will become a disabled person as a result, decreases at times. Therefore, this tool is widely used in the work with patients suffering from ischemia. Another medicine is used to bring the patient into consciousness after anesthesia. It is also used in toxicology to treat poisonings, the drug is not an antidote, but it helps the body's cells to survive in a critical situation, improving metabolic processes in them.

The course of treatment, if it is prescribed in tablets, is long enough - 25 days. Each day, usually appoint 4 tablets, and they should not be taken in the evening, that is after 18.00. Can be appointed and a second course, but this is possible only in a month.

Intravenously, "Cytoflavin" is administered only through a dropper, the doses and timing of administration are prescribed by the physician, in some cases the agent is only used once, for example, when removed from anesthesia. But such long courses, as with the use of tablets, usually does not happen.

Side effects of "Cytoflavin" are more often observed if the drug is administered intravenously. And often the whole thing turns out to be too fast for its introduction. Then you can see redness of the skin, heat, perspiration and dry mouth. These side effects should not be paid attention, they soon pass by themselves.

Who is contraindicated with "Cytoflavin"? Instruction for use says that it can not be used by pregnant women. Also, with caution, the doctor will prescribe this remedy if the patient is on the ventilator. Rarely prescribed it to people with impaired uric acid metabolism. It is necessary to refuse from its receptions also to patients with gastric ulcer diseases.
