pharmachologic effect

Milgamma contains neurotropic vitamins that belong to group B. The drug is used in a therapeutic dose for diseases of nerves, nervous tissue, in which patients have a disorder of nerve conduction or inflammatory-degenerative phenomena.
The drug Milgamma is also prescribed for people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The use of a drug containing large doses of vitamin B, relieves acute pain, activates microcirculation, improves blood formation and the functioning of the nervous system.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine), getting into the body, through phosphorylation is converted into cocarboxylase and thiamine triphosphate. In turn, cocarboxylase takes part in the processes of carbohydrate metabolism, normalizing the functions of the nervous tissue and nerves and improving conduction in the nerves. If the body is deficient in vitamin B1, then tissues can accumulate under-oxidized products of carbohydrate metabolism, provoking a variety of pathological conditions.
Determining what is better - injections or tablets Milgamma, it should be noted that in tablets instead of thiamine chloride in the composition is benfotiamin, fat-soluble thiamine derivative.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), getting into the body, is phosphorylated. The products of its metabolism are involved in the decarboxylation of amino acids, which results in the production of physiologically active mediators - adrenaline, histamine, tyramine, dopamine, serotonin. In addition, vitamin B6 has an effect on the metabolism of tryptophan.
Vitamins B1 and B6 provide potentiation of influence of each other, therefore Milgamma vitamins in injections and tablets have a pronounced beneficial effect on the health of patients with diseases of the nerves and motor apparatus.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) has an anti-anemic effect, activates the synthesis of nucleic acids, choline, creatinine, methionine. Takes part in metabolic processes in cells. The substance reduces the pain manifested by the defeat of the peripheral HC, activates the nucleic acid metabolism.
Lidocaine has a local anesthetic effect.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

Abstract indicates that after intramuscular injection thiamine is rapidly absorbed and enters the blood. In the body it is distributed unevenly. Since there are no significant amounts of thiamine in the body, it must be supplied every day. The substance can penetrate through the blood-brain and placental barriers. It is excreted through the kidneys. Thiamine, in comparison with other vitamins, is preserved in the body in the least amount.
Pyridoxine, after the solution was injected intramuscularly, quickly enters the bloodstream and is distributed throughout the body. About 80% of the vitamin binds to plasma proteins. The substance is able to penetrate the placenta, enters the mother's milk. Later it is oxidized to 4-pyridoxic acid, which is excreted after 2-5 hours through the kidneys.
Cyanocobalamin, getting into human blood, binds to proteins, resulting in the formation of a transport complex. Further in this form it is absorbed by the hepatic tissue. It also accumulates in the bone marrow. After cyanocobalamin is released from the bile into the intestine, it can again be absorbed.
