Pharmacological properties

Pharmacokinetics

Galavit® is rapidly absorbed, penetrates into organs, tissues and biological fluids. The maximum concentration in blood plasma after sublingual administration is reached after 24 minutes. Communication with plasma proteins - 6%. The maximum concentration of the drug is in the kidneys, the minimum in the muscles and tissues of the brain. The absolute bioavailability of Galavita® when administered sublingually is 60%. The drug crosses the blood-brain and placental barrier. It is excreted from the body, mainly through the kidneys. With sublingual administration, the half-life of the drug is 30 minutes.

Pharmacodynamics

Galavit® is used as an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agent in the complex therapy of immunodeficiency states. The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with its ability to affect the functional and metabolic activity of phagocytic cells (monocytes / macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells). In addition, Galavit® normalizes antibody production, indirectly stimulates the production of endogenous interferons (IFN-α, IFN-γ).

In inflammatory diseases, the drug reversibly inhibits for 6-8 hours the excessive synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species by hyperactivated macrophages, the level of which determines the degree of inflammatory reactions, their cyclicity, as well as the severity intoxication and the level of oxidative stress. The normalization of the functional state of macrophages leads to the restoration of the antigen-presenting and regulatory function of macrophages, a decrease in the level of autoaggression. Stimulates the bactericidal activity of neutrophilic granulocytes, enhancing phagocytosis and increasing the body's nonspecific resistance to infectious diseases. The main pharmacological effects (immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory) are observed within 72 hours.
