Heptral is a drug designed to cleanse and restore the liver; has antidepressant activity.
pharmachologic effect
Heptral has choleretic (increases the amount of bile acids in bile), cholekinetic (promotes the secretion of bile into the intestine), regenerating, detoxifying (removes toxins from the body), antifibrinolytic (reduces the ability of blood to spontaneously dissolve blood clots), antioxidant, antidepressant and neuroprotective (eliminates disturbances in the nervous cells) properties.
The active component of Heptral is ademetionine, which is a substance that is necessary for almost all tissues.
The use of Heptral allows not only to make up for the lack of ademetionine, but also to stimulate its production in the liver, spinal cord and brain, and other organs.
Ademetionine plays an important role in the metabolic processes of the body, participates in such important biochemical reactions as transmethylation, transsulfation, transamination, and increases the protective functions of liver cells.
The use of Heptral allows you to normalize the production of bile acids, their entry into the biliary tract, and also improve the motility of the digestive tract by eliminating stagnation of bile in the liver cells. The hepatoprotective (cleansing and restoration of the liver) and choleretic effects of Heptral are observed for another 3 months after the end of the drug intake.
The level of ademetionine decreases with age, and the concentration of this substance is also below normal in people with depressive syndrome. The use of Heptral allows you to increase the content of ademetionine in the body, in particular in the brain tissue, which helps to stabilize the transmission of nerve impulses and prolong the functioning of nerve cells.
Clinical studies and reviews of Heptral confirm the antidepressant effect of the drug, which develops quite quickly, and reaches its maximum efficiency on the 5-7th day of the drug use.
