Elcar, 100 mg/ml 5 ml 10 pcs

L-carnitine increases resistance of nervous tissue to damaging factors (hypoxia, trauma, intoxication, etc.), inhibits the formation of keto acids and anaerobic glycolysis, reduces the degree of lactacidosis.

L-carnitine is a natural substance related to B vitamins. It participates in metabolic processes as a carrier of fatty acids across cell membranes from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria where they are oxidized (beta-oxidation process) producing large amounts of metabolic energy (in the form of ATP).

The preparation replenishes alkaline blood reserve, restores autoregulation of cerebral hemodynamics and increases blood supply of the affected area, accelerates reparative processes in the lesion and has an anabolic effect.

Indications

— as part of complex therapy for acute hypoxic conditions (acute cerebral hypoxia, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack);

— acute, subacute and recovery periods of cerebral circulatory disorders;

— dyscirculatory encephalopathy and various traumatic and toxic lesions of the brain, during the recovery period after surgical interventions;

– primary and secondary carnitine deficiency, incl. in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis;

– cardiomyopathy;

— IHD (angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, post-infarction conditions);

– hypoperfusion due to cardiogenic shock and other metabolic disorders in the myocardium.

Special instructions

Treatment of children under 3 years of age should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery:

the drug does not affect the performance of potentially hazardous activities that require special attention and quick reactions (driving a car and other vehicles, working with moving mechanisms, working as a dispatcher and operator, etc.).

Active ingredient

Levocarnitine

Composition

1 ml of solution contains:

levocarnitine (carnifit) – 100 mg;

water for injections up to 1 ml.

Contraindications

– pregnancy;

– lactation period;

– increased sensitivity.

Side Effects

Allergic reactions and muscle weakness are possible (in patients with uremia).

With rapid administration (80 drops/min or more), pain may occur along the vein, which disappears when the injection rate is reduced.

Interaction

Glucocorticosteroids promote the accumulation of the drug in tissues (except the liver), other anabolic steroids enhance the effect.
