Galavit candles analogues. Instructions for use. International non-proprietary and chemical name

Galavit - domestic immunomodulator. Its name, which means "global life" in Latin, was born in Medical Academy them. I. M. Sechenov and fully corresponds to the purpose of the drug, the indications for the use of which can hardly fit in a standard leaflet. The active substance of Galavit - sodium aminodihydrophthalazinedione - is quite suitable for use as an unpronounceable tongue twister or for an exam in the casting of television announcers. It cannot be said that this drug is so widely known today that it seems absolutely undeserved: Galavit is, in fact, the only immunomodulator with reliably proven anti-inflammatory activity. For a brief acquaintance with the drug, it remains to add that it is relatively “young” and has been used in Russia since 1997.

The pharmacological group of immunomodulators is one of the most extensive and "multinational", including drugs of natural and synthetic origin. Galavit belongs to the latter. Its mechanism of action is due to the ability of the active substance of the drug to regulate the functional and metabolic activity of phagocyte cells (neutrophils, monocytes / macrophages, natural killers). Here it would be appropriate to dispel the terminological “fog” somewhat and talk about phagocytic cells. Neutrophils and monocytes are a type of white blood cell. The former account for 40-60% of all leukocytes. These are mature cells whose task is to surround and destroy foreign agents. Monocytes, which after their maturation are called macrophages, make up 3-8% of all leukocytes. They not only ingest bacteria, but also take part in immune reactions, in the production of antibodies, etc. Macrophages are activated under the influence of substances that are formed in the inflammatory focus.

At inflammatory diseases galavit temporarily (for 6-8 hours) suppresses excessively “promoted” by hyperactivated macrophages the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor alpha, the immune mediator of inflammation interleukin-1, and other inflammatory cytokines.

For reference: inflammatory cytokines are substances that ensure the interaction of immune cells in the midst of an inflammatory reaction and form the so-called. "inflammatory response". Normalization under the influence of Galavit functional state macrophages reduces their level of autoaggression (direction of immune reactions against their own body). In addition, the drug is directed to normal course the process of producing antibodies, activates the formation of its own interferons. Galavit increases the body's resistance to diseases of an infectious nature: it has confirmed its effectiveness in the treatment of a number of bacterial and viral infections. The effect of the drug can be considered on the example of a severe sore throat, the signs of which are sore throat, swelling and hyperemia of the tonsils, an increase in body temperature to 39 ° C and above, etc. Despite the use antibacterial agents, the disease is severe and can bloom with a whole "bouquet" of complications. gravity clinical picture the body is “owed” to overly active macrophages, which, “excited” under the influence of inflammatory cytokines, “raised” the temperature bar to 39 ° C (while 37 ° C would be enough according to the situation). Galavit will “restrain” the raging macrophages for 6 hours, while normally functioning macrophages, having gained access to inflammatory focus, without much fuss will destroy bacteria.

Galavit is available in three dosage forms: suppositories, powder for preparation injection solution and sublingual tablets. Given the many indications for which the drug can be prescribed, it is best to get acquainted with its dosing regimen and features of administration from the leaflet or, more optimally, from the mouth of the attending physician.

Pharmacology

Immunomodulatory drug with anti-inflammatory action.

The mechanism of action is associated with the ability to influence the functional and metabolic activity of phagocytic cells (monocytes / macrophages, neutrophils, natural killers). In addition, Galavit ® normalizes antibody formation, indirectly stimulates the production of endogenous interferons (interferon-alpha, interferon-gamma).

In inflammatory diseases, it reversibly (for 6-8 hours) inhibits excessive synthesis by hyperactivated macrophages of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, the level of which determines the degree inflammatory reactions, their cyclicity, as well as the severity of intoxication and the level of oxidative stress. Normalization of the functional state of macrophages leads to the restoration of the antigen presenting and regulatory functions of macrophages, and a decrease in the level of autoaggression.

The drug stimulates bactericidal activity neutrophilic granulocytes, enhancing phagocytosis and increasing nonspecific resistance body to infectious diseases.

Main pharmacological effects observed for 72 hours.
