Indinol Forto, capsules 60 pcs.

A selective modulator of estrogen receptors.

Indinol Forto is a universal corrector of pathological hyperplastic processes in the breast tissues. The therapeutic effect of Indinol Forto is based on its anti-estrogenic and antiproliferative action.

The main property of the drug Indinol Forto is its ability to induce selective death of the mammary gland cells with abnormally high proliferative activity.

The indolcarbinol in Indinol Forto modulates the cytochrome system so that the resulting cytochrome P450 isoform, CYP1A1, hydroxylates estrogens at the 2nd position to form 2-hydroxyestrone (2-HONE1).

The resulting metabolite is an estrogen receptor antagonist and blocks its activation by estrogens themselves as well as their dangerous metabolites, particularly 16-α-hydroxyestrone (16α-ONE1), whose proportion among metabolites is reduced.

In this way, the induction of estrogen-dependent genes is suppressed and the cell stops receiving excessive estrogen-dependent stimulation. The drug also blocks other signaling mechanisms (cytokines) that stimulate abnormal cell growth in breast tissues by inhibiting signaling cascades from the corresponding receptors.

Course use of the drug promotes reduction of intensity and disappearance of pain syndrome in the breast at cyclic mastalgia (mastodynia).

The use of the drug Indinol Forto does not lead to an increase in body weight. Indinol Forto is practically non-toxic (LD50>5 g/kg).

Indications

Cyclic mastalgia, including against the background of benign breast hyperplasia.

Interaction

Indolcarbinol affects the activity of cytochrome Р450 isoenzymes, therefore caution should be exercised when using with drugs with metabolism of cytochrome Р450 isoenzymes (indirect anticoagulants, glucocorticosteroids, oral hypoglycemic agents, antiarrhythmic, antiepileptic, foxglove drugs, sex hormone drugs), because their doses may need to be adjusted.
