Pharmacological action of
Ethoxidol is an inhibitor of free radical processes, has a membrane protective, antihypoxic, nootropic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic effect, increases the body’s resistance to stress. Ethoxidol has anti-ischemic properties, improves blood flow in the ischemic zone, limits the area of ischemic damage, detects a lipid-lowering effect, reduces the content of total cholesterol and low density lipoproteins. The drug increases the body’s resistance to the effects of various damaging factors, to oxygen-dependent pathological conditions (shock, hypoxia and ischemia, cerebrovascular accident, intoxication with alcohol and antipsychotic drugs (antipsychotics)).
The drug improves cerebral metabolism and blood supply to the brain, improves microcirculation and rheological properties of blood, reduces platelet aggregation. It stabilizes the membrane structures of blood cells (red blood cells and platelets) during hemolysis. The mechanism of action of the drug is due to its antioxidant, antihypoxant and membrane protective effect. It inhibits lipid peroxidation, increases the activity of superoxide oxidase, increases the ratio of lipid protein, reduces the viscosity of the membrane, increases its fluidity.
Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes (calcium independent phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, acetylcholinesterase), receptor complexes (benzodiazepine, GABA, acetylcholine), which enhances their ability to bind to ligands, helps preserve the structural and functional organization of biomembranes, transport neurotransmitters and improve synaptic transmission.
Pharmacokinetics
After ingestion, it is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract at an average rate of 0.569 ± 0.086 h-1. On healthy volunteers, it was found that with the oral administration of Ethoxidol tablets at a dose of 100 mg, the maximum concentration (C max) in blood plasma is reached after 0.28 ± 0.08 hours and amounts to 487.0 ± 72.4 ng / ml followed by rapid excretion the drug, with a half-life (T ) = 1.46 ± 0.13 hours. Ethoxidol is rapidly distributed to organs and tissues of the body. It is determined in blood plasma for 7-10 hours. The drug is extensively metabolized in the liver with the formation of phosphate-3-hydroxypyridine, glucuronoconjugated products.

The maximum single dose – 200 mg daily – 800 mg. The course – at least 2 months, repeated courses – on the recommendation of a doctor.
The duration of treatment and the choice of individual dose depends on the severity of the patient’s condition and the effectiveness of the treatment.
In the complex treatment of mild and moderate cognitive impairment, the drug is prescribed without limiting the course of treatment for a duration of 100 mg 3-4 times a day.
