Pharmacological Action
Hepatoprotective agent; the phospholipids included in the composition are the main elements in the structure of the cell membrane and mitochondria.
It regulates lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, improves the functional state of the liver and its detoxification function, promotes the preservation and restoration of the structure of hepatocytes; inhibits the formation of connective tissue in the liver.
Pharmacokinetics
Binding mainly to high-density lipoproteins, phosphatidylcholine enters, in particular, into liver cells.
The T1/2 of the choline component is 66 hours, and that of unsaturated fatty acids is 32 hours.
Indications
Fatty liver degeneration (including in diabetes mellitus); acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cell necrosis, hepatic coma and precoma, toxic liver lesions; pregnancy toxemia; pre- and postoperative treatment, especially for operations in the hepatobiliary area; psoriasis (as an auxiliary therapy); radiation syndrome.

Dosage Regimen
| The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen. |
Administer intravenously only; do not administer intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
For adult patients, administer 250 mg to 500 mg (5-10 ml) per day via slow intravenous injection.
For severe conditions, including liver cirrhosis or hepatic coma, the daily dosage may be increased to 500 mg to 1000 mg (10-20 ml).
Dilute the solution immediately before administration with the patient’s own blood, dextrose solution (5-10%), or xylitol solution (5-10%).
Do not dilute the solution with electrolyte solutions such as sodium chloride or Ringer’s solution.
Infuse the diluted solution slowly at a rate not exceeding 40 drops per minute.
The total daily infusion volume should not exceed 250-500 ml.
Transition to oral phospholipid formulations for maintenance therapy as the patient’s clinical condition improves.
The duration of intravenous treatment is determined by the severity of the disease and the clinical response.
