Pharmacological properties:

Pharmacodynamics

The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with its ability to regulate

the functional and metabolic activity of cells of innate and adaptive immunity (monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killers, etc.). Galavit normalizes phagocytic activity of monocytes/ macrophages, bactericidal activity of neutrophils and cytotoxic activity of NK-cells.

With this, by restoring reduced activity of cells of innate and adaptive immunity, the preparation increases resistance of the body to infectious diseases.

In addition Galavit normalizes antibody formation and increases functional activity (affinity) of antibodies.

In case of inflammatory diseases the preparation reversibly inhibits for 6-8 hours the excessive synthesis by hyperactivated macrophages of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines the level of which determines the degree of inflammatory reactions, their

cyclic activity as well as the severity of intoxication of the body. Galavit decreases the production of reactive oxygen species by hyperactivated macrophages, thus reducing the level of oxidative stress and protecting tissues and organs from the damaging effects of radicals.

The drug has no allergizing, mutagenic, embryotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic action.

Pharmacokinetics: It is eliminated from the body mainly through the kidneys. After rectal administration the elimination half-life is 40-60 minutes. The main pharmacological effects are observed within 72 hours. Aminodihydrophthalazindione sodium in suppositories with rectal administration has high bioavailability due to which both local and expressed systemic effects are achieved.
