Gopanthenic acid, tablets 250 mg 50 pcs

The spectrum of action of gopanthenic acid is associated with the presence of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in its structure. The mechanism of action is due to the direct effect of the drug on GABA receptor-channel complex.

Gopanthenic acid has nootropic and anticonvulsant effects. The drug increases resistance of the brain to hypoxia and toxic substances, stimulates anabolic processes in neurons, combines a moderate sedative effect with a mild stimulating effect, reduces motor excitability, activates mental and physical performance.

It improves GABA metabolism in chronic alcohol intoxication and after ethanol withdrawal. Gopanthenic acid is able to inhibit acetylation reactions involved in the inactivation mechanisms of procaine (novocaine) and sulfonamides. It causes inhibition of pathologically increased bladder reflex and detrusor tone.
