Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

SeptaNazal is a combined composition drug, the action of which is due to the properties of its active ingredients:

• dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid, a vitamin of group B. Once in the body, dexpanthenol is converted into pantothenic acid, which is a component of coenzyme A (CoA). It is involved in the synthesis of corticosteroids, acetylcholine and porphyrins, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and acetylation processes. It normalizes cellular metabolism, stimulates the restoration of mucous membranes and skin, increases the strength of collagen fibers, and accelerates mitosis. Has a metabolic, regenerating and weak anti-inflammatory effect;
• xylometazoline is a local vasoconstrictor (decongestant) with alpha-adrenomimetic activity. Promotes narrowing of the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa and restores the patency of the nasal passages, thereby eliminating nasal congestion and facilitating nasal breathing. The vasoconstrictor effect develops within a few minutes and lasts up to 10 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

Dexpanthenol after topical application is quickly absorbed by the skin and biotransformed into pantothenic acid, binds to blood plasma proteins, mainly albumin and beta-globulin. The concentration of pantothenic acid in the blood is 0.5–1 mg / l, in the blood serum - 0.1 mg / l. Not metabolized (except for inclusion in CoA). It is excreted from the body unchanged.

Xylometazoline is practically not absorbed. It is present in blood plasma in such low concentrations that it is impossible to determine them by modern analytical methods.
