pharmachologic effect

The drug is an endogenous antioxidant that binds free radicals. Thioctic (?-lipoic) acid is involved in the mitochondrial metabolism of the cell; it performs the function of a coenzyme in the complex for the transformation of substances with a pronounced antitoxic effect. They protect the cell from reactive radicals arising from intermediate metabolism or the decay of exogenous foreign substances, and from heavy metals. Thioctic acid exhibits synergism with insulin, which is associated with an increase in glucose utilization. In patients with diabetes mellitus, thioctic acid leads to a change in the concentration of pyruvic acid in the blood.

special instructions
