Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Orvis Flew is a combined agent, the action of which is due to the properties of its active ingredients:

• paracetamol is a non-narcotic analgesic that affects the centers of thermoregulation and pain by blocking cyclooxygenase (mainly in the central nervous system), as a result of which it has an antipyretic and analgesic effect;
• ascorbic acid (vitamin C) - participates in blood clotting, regulation of carbohydrate metabolism and redox processes, the synthesis of steroid hormones and tissue regeneration. Reduces vascular permeability, the need for pantothenic and folic acids, vitamins A, B ₁, B ₂ and E. Prolongs the action of paracetamol and improves its tolerance;
• pheniramine is a blocker of H ₁ -histamine receptors. Eliminates spastic phenomena, hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses, reduces rhinorrhea and lacrimation.

Pharmacokinetics

Paracetamol after oral administration is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum plasma concentration reaches within 10-60 minutes. It is quickly distributed throughout the tissues of the body, penetrates the blood-brain barrier. It binds to plasma proteins insignificantly, which has no therapeutic value, however, as the dose is increased, the connection increases. It is metabolized in the liver: about 80% of the dose received is conjugated with sulfates and glucuronic acid to form inactive metabolites, 17% of the dose undergoes a hydroxylation reaction with the formation of 8 active metabolites, which are subsequently conjugated with glutathione, as a result of which inactive metabolites are formed. One of the hydroxylated metabolic intermediates exhibits hepatotoxic activity. It is rendered harmless by conjugation with glutathione, however, it can accumulate in the body and in case of an overdose (150 mg of paracetamol / kg of body weight or 10,000 mg of paracetamol orally) cause necrosis of hepatocytes. The drug is excreted by the kidneys mainly in the form of metabolites (most of them are conjugates), no more than 5% of paracetamol is excreted unchanged. Half-life (T_½) is 1–3 hours.

Ascorbic acid, entering the digestive tract, is absorbed in the small intestine. The maximum plasma concentration reaches within 4 hours. Bioavailability is about 70%. It is metabolized in the liver. It is excreted in the form of metabolites and unchanged by the kidneys, through the intestines and with sweat.

Pheniramine is almost completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. T _½ is 1–1.5 hours. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys.

The overdose threshold can be lowered in children, the elderly, malnourished patients, and patients who consume alcohol and take certain medications (for example, inducers of liver microsomal enzymes). After 1-2 days, signs of a functional liver disorder appear. In severe cases, liver failure, hepatonecrosis, encephalopathy, coma are possible - complications fraught with death.

Ethanol enhances the sedative effect of pheniramine, contributes to the development of acute pancreatitis.

Paracetamol increases the effect of indirect anticoagulants. Reduces the effect of uricosuric drugs.
