In this article, you can read the instructions for using the drug Tioctacide. There are reviews of visitors to the site - consumers of this medication, as well as opinions of doctors of specialists on the use of Tioctacida in their practice. A big request is to actively add their feedback on the drug: the medicine helped or did not help get rid of the disease, which were observed complications and side effects, possibly not declared by the manufacturer in the annotation.

Tioctacide metabolic drug.Thioktovaya (alpha-lipoic) acid (active ingredient of the preparation Tioctacid) is contained in the human body, where it performs the function of coenzyme in the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation of pyruvic acid and alpha-keto acids. Thioctic acid is an endogenous antioxidant, according to the biochemical mechanism of action it is close to the Vitamins of group B.

 

Tioctacid helps protect cells from the toxic effects of free radicals that arise in metabolic processes; it also detoxifies exogenous toxic compounds that have penetrated the body. Thioctic acid increases the concentration of endogenous antioxidant glutathione, which leads to a decrease in the severity of symptoms of polyneuropathy.

 

The drug has hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycemic action; improves trophic neurons. The result of the synergistic action of thioctic acid and insulin is an increase in the utilization of glucose.

 

Thiocytase BV (rapid release) is an optimized dosage form for oral administration that avoids high variability in absorption,guarantees a stable level of thioctic acid in the blood plasma and high bioavailability.

 

Composition

 

Thioktovaja (alpha-lipoevaja) acid + auxiliary substances (tablets).

 

Tioctata trometamol + auxiliary substances (ampoules).

 

Pharmacokinetics

 

When taking Tioctacid (rapid release), thioctic acid is quickly and completely absorbed from the digestive tract. Simultaneous intake of food can reduce absorption of the drug. The absolute bioavailability of thioctic acid is 20%. Exposed to the effect of "first passage" through the liver. The main pathways of metabolism are oxidation and conjugation. Thioctic acid and its metabolites are excreted in the urine (80-90%).

Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for the development of polyneuropathy and may reduce the effectiveness of Tioctacid BV, so patients should refrain from taking alcoholic beverages during treatment with the drug or during periods outside of treatment.

 

Treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy should be conducted against the background of maintaining the optimal concentration of glucose in the blood.

 

By accelerating the metabolism can be used in combination with other drugs to treat metabolic metabolic disorders and weight loss.

 

Due to the fact that thioctic acid binds metals, and tablets Tioctacide BV take 30 minutes before breakfast, preparations containing metals should be taken at lunch or in the evening. For the same reason, during the treatment with Tioctacid BV, the use of dairy products is recommended only in the afternoon.

Drug Interactions

 

With the simultaneous administration of thioctic acid and cisplatin, Cisplatin is less effective.

 

Thioktovaya (alpha-lipoic) acid binds metals, so do not prescribe concurrently with preparations containing metals (such as iron, magnesium, calcium) and dairy products. The interval between receptions should be at least 2 hours.

 

With the simultaneous use of Tioctacid and insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs, their effect may be increased, so regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, especially at the beginning of thioctic acid therapy, is recommended. In some cases it is permissible to reduce the dose of hypoglycemic drugs in order to avoid the development of symptoms of hypoglycemia.

 

Ethanol (alcohol) and its metabolites weaken the action of thioctic acid.

 

Pharmaceutical interaction

 

The infusion solution of thioctic acid is incompatible with the Dextrose solution, Ringer's solution and with solutions reacting with disulfide and S-groups, ethanol.

Suddenly, I began to overestimate the pressure. I waved it off several times, just drank the pills, lowering the pressure, but when I repeated it again, I went to the doctor - a disappointing diagnosis of hypertension and a pre-sults condition. Well and for normalization of pressure to me have registered tioktatsid BV. At the same time immediately warned not to be tempted by cheaper analogs, since there is less dosage, and as a result, you will need to buy more packages, and you need to drink on a different course.In general, I bought a package of 100 tablets, by the way it was more than three months, and during this time my pressure came back to normal. So I never think that tablets cost me dearly.

Mariana, Apparently mixed up with the name of the drug. Tioctacide is not used to reduce high blood pressure.

No, it did not mess up, it was tyoktatsid BV prescribed. The increased pressure due to different situations happens, because of severe stress, the disruption of the work of nerve cells was, as the doctor explained, and the consequence of this is increased blood pressure. And so that the pressure should be normalized, it is necessary to eliminate the disturbances in the nerve endings, and then there will be no pressure problems. Therefore, not from hypertension, the pills were prescribed, but these.

Mariana, Then such treatment is entirely on the conscience of your doctor, the more you agree with him. I do not fly with such exotic pressure.

Hello. Explain, please, what does it mean: "tioctacid binds metals"? It just will not be digested trace elements (potassium, magnesium, calcium) or can there be any other negative manifestations? The fact that Panangin is impossible in the morning is understandable, and a little milk in the morning coffee, too, is impossible?

Valentina777, Just do not digest metals. That is, the positive effect of taking drugs and supplements containing trace elements will be leveled by Tioctacid. Milk in the morning coffee can.

Good afternoon. Prompt, whether there are contraindications to application of Tioctacida at presence of titanium endoprostheses in kolenyah?

Yuliya_In the instructions to Tioktatsidu such cases are not indicated and it can be assumed that they will not be, given that the drug has another mechanism of action on the human body. Metals in prosthetic drugs will not accurately bind or somehow react differently.
