Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The direct neuroreparative effect of Cellex is due to the presence of tissue-specific receptor proteins and polypeptides in the preparation, which are factors of growth and differentiation of nerve cells. The mechanism of action is to regulate the concentration of the pool of biologically active neurotransmitters and inhibit the diffusion of excitatory amino acids.
By stimulating the process of synaptogenesis, restoring autophagy signals, increasing tissue immunoregulation, and inhibiting the immunogenic cytotoxicity of macrophages, Cellex promotes the activation of secondary neuroprotection. The drug has a tissue-specific and systemic reparative effect, restoring the regenerative and reparative potential of brain cells, improving microcirculation and general perfusion and reducing the number of damaged cells and the severity of perifocal edema in the penumbra area, which significantly limits the focus of brain tissue necrosis.
Due to the restoration and regulatory stimulation of various compartments of the central nervous system with a systemic effect of growth factors, differentiation and neurotransmitters, as a result of the use of Cellex, there is a decrease in the recovery and rehabilitation periods in case of damage to the central and peripheral nervous system of vascular origin, as well as restoration of sensory, motor and cognitive functions. The therapeutic effect of the drug, as a rule, develops within 3-5 days from the beginning of its administration.
Pharmacokinetics
Cellex has a complex composition, its active fraction includes a balanced and stable mixture of biologically active proteins and polypeptides, which have a total multifunctional effect, which makes it difficult to carry out the usual pharmacokinetic analysis of individual components of the drug.

special instructions
The preparation does not contain prion infections and viruses.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
There are currently no data on the effect of Cellex on the ability to drive transport and perform work requiring high concentration of attention and speed of motor / mental reactions.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
It is not recommended to use the drug in pregnant and breastfeeding women, since no relevant studies have been conducted.
Pediatric use
According to the instructions, Cellex is contraindicated for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age due to insufficient clinical data.
