Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Neuromet is a nootropic drug with antidepressant, antiasthenic and psychostimulating efficacy. The mechanism of action of the drug is due to the ability of its active substance, idebenone, to potentiate the synthesis of glucose and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This leads to the activation of metabolic processes in the brain, improved blood supply and oxygenation of brain tissues. Possessing metabolic and trophic activity, the drug promotes the elimination of lactates, an increase in the speed and intensity of neurophysiological reactions of brain structures. As a result of slowing lipid peroxidation, the membranes of neurons and mitochondria are protected from damage.

It should be borne in mind that the nootropic effect is manifested only after 21-28 days of taking capsules, while the antiasthenic, psychostimulating and antidepressant effect is felt by the patient from the first days of therapy.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, idebenone is characterized by rapid and high absorption. The maximum concentration in blood plasma (C _max) is reached after 4 hours.

A significant amount of idebenone crosses the blood-brain barrier and is distributed in the brain tissues.

Does not cumulate.

It is excreted through the kidneys.
