Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The drug is characterized by a complex (antimicrobial, demineralizing, astringent, choleretic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory) effect. It is active against Staphylococcus aureus. The medicinal properties of lingonberry leaves are due to the active ingredients they contain, which include hyperoside, arbutin, tannin, vaccinin, ursular, tartaric, gallic, quinic and ellagic acids, lycopene, hydroquinone, glycosides and various micro- and macroelements.

The drug increases the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs, takes part in the regulation of nitrogen metabolism and stimulates the body's immune system (phagocytosis).

The diuretic effect is explained by the presence of arbutin in the composition of this herbal remedy, which turns into free hydroquinone, which irritates the renal tissues and increases urine output. Increased diuresis also provides hyperoside, which undergoes hydrolysis in the body to form quercetin. During the metabolism of the glycoside of vaccinine, benzoic acid is synthesized, which has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. It also promotes disinfection of the urinary tract and relieves the patient's condition with gout, rheumatism, urinary and gallstone disease.
