Pharmacological action
Dimexide is an anti-inflammatory agent with local analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It has a moderate antiseptic and fibrinolytic effect.
Dimethyl sulfoxide inhibits inflammatory tissue infiltration. In addition, dimethyl sulfoxide helps normalize fibrin formation processes, increases microcirculation in tissues, inhibits red blood cell aggregation, increases phagocyte activity, suppresses neutrophil chemotaxis and reduces the content of circulating immune complexes.
Penetrates through the skin, mucous membranes, the cell wall of bacteria (increases their sensitivity to antibiotics) and other biological membranes, increases their permeability to drugs. The drug is low toxic.
Pharmacokinetics
When the drug is applied, dimethyl sulfoxide is detected in the blood serum after 8 15 minutes, and the maximum content is observed after 2 8 hours. As a rule, after 30 36 hours, dimethyl sulfoxide in the blood serum is no longer detected. Dimethyl sulfoxide does not cumulate. With topical use of the drug, dimethyl sulfoxide penetrates the articular cavity, binds to proteins in the blood and tissues.
It is excreted from the body through the kidneys unchanged and excreted in the form of oxidized products – dimethyl sulfone and dimethyl sulfate as well as a reduced product (dimethyl sulfide) with exhaled air.
