Pharmacological action

Rowatinex – nephrolitholytic, antispasmodic, diuretic.

Pharmacodynamics

Rowatinex promotes the disintegration and elimination of kidney stones and urinary tract stones.

Terpenes, such as borneol, undergo metabolic changes and are excreted in the urine-mainly in the form of glucuronides, which increases the solubility of calcium salts (the main components of kidney stones and urinary tract stones). In a number of animal experiments, the inhibitory effect of Rowatinex on the formation of kidney and urinary tract stones was established.

Rowatinex has an antispasmodic effect, promotes the passage of stones through the urinary tract, reduces pain in renal and ureteral colic, increases renal blood flow, improving their function and increasing diuresis.

It has an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effect (against a number of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms), increases the content of protective colloids and glucuronic acid in the urine.

Pharmacokinetics

The terpenes present in Rowatinex are fat-soluble and quickly absorbed.

Terpenes, such as borneol, undergo metabolic changes in the human body, turning into glucuronides, which are excreted in the urine.
