Pharmacological action Elokoma

According to the instructions, Elokom has anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictor, anti-exudative, antipruritic action. At the site of application, Elokom stimulates the formation of its own proteins-inhibitors of phospholipase A ₂ (lipocortins), which block the production of inflammatory mediators - prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
