Pharmacological profile

When peripheral nerves are damaged, for example, when squeezing or jamming, and also because of any pathological processes taking place in the body (inflammation of the roots of the spinal nerves, diabetes mellitus), unpleasant sensations and pain can be observed.
The human body itself can repair damaged nerve fibers, but this takes a long time. When nucleotides are introduced from the outside, the process of nerve regeneration is accelerated.
Against the background of therapy in the body, the content of phosphate groups, which are required for binding simple carbohydrates to keramines, increases. Nervous shells are formed from them. They are also necessary for the connection of monosaccharides with phosphatidic acids, which are part of sphingomyelin and glycerophospholipids.
They are the main components of the myelin sheath, the thicker it is, the better the nerve impulses are transmitted.
As a result, the inflammatory process is stopped. Axons recover faster, their sensitivity is normalized.
The composition of the drug includes two nucleotides - cytidine monophosphate and uridine triphosphate, the same as synthesized in the body, so it is not possible to find out the pharmacokinetics of the active substances.
