The drug Heptral (injection), the instructions for use of which should be carefully studied before using the medication, is treated as a tool for the treatment and prevention of liver diseases. In addition, the drug is a strong antidepressant that helps normalize the human psyche. Heptral injections and tablets have a wide spectrum of action. The drug is used for the treatment of diseases of internal organs and in psychiatry to prevent suicides and withdraw patients from a state of deep depression. Heptral injections is used intramuscularly, intravenously or in tablets, depending on the stage and form of the disease. The medicine has excellent compatibility with antibiotics and analgesics, which allows it to be used in complex therapy. The duration of the course of taking the medicine, its dosage and the form of administration to the body is determined by the attending physician. Self-medication is strictly contraindicated, since side effects of the drug can be dangerous to health and are fraught with serious consequences.

The mechanism of action of the drug

The human body is constantly exposed to toxins from the inside and outside. This is facilitated by adverse environmental conditions, harmful production, poor nutrition, alcohol abuse and smoking. Under the influence of toxins, the conductivity of the membranes of the cells of the liver tissue deteriorates. This leads to the accumulation of bile acid inside the cells, which destroys them, and then connective tissue grows in place of hepatocytes. This pathology, if not stopped, inevitably leads to cirrhosis of the liver and the appearance of malignant tumors.
After the introduction of injections heptral, a gradual restoration of the normal state of cell membranes occurs intravenously, and the transport of bile acids improves. On the second day of treatment, the formation and proliferation of connective tissue cells is suppressed. This leads to the relief of cirrhosis at any stage of the disease. The therapeutic effect is enhanced by relieving the patient of psychological stress, fear and anxiety for their health. By administering the medicine intravenously, the doctor achieves the desired result quickly and without complications.
Heptral injections is also recommended for enhancing the protective functions of the body. The active components of the drug, administered intravenously, penetrate the liver, prevent the penetration of free radicals, alcohol and elements of food additives into its tissue. The active components of the drug contribute to the activation of the process of regeneration of liver cells.
A dropper of this medication is used to remove alcohol victims from a state of severe intoxication. Intravenously in such cases, the drug is administered gradually so as not to cause side effects associated with the occurrence of euphoria and a sharp increase in blood pressure.
Heptral injections has a high penetrating ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. The active component of the drug ademetionin from the bloodstream enters directly into the brain cells. As a result, biochemical processes are restored, the state of neurons is normalized. Even in a small amount, Heptral injections improves the conductivity of nerve impulses, activates the activity of the entire central nervous system. In a few days, the patient completely gets rid of depression.
