Pharmacological action
Oktolipen – a metabolic agent, is an endogenous antioxidant that binds free radicals.
Thioctic acid is formed in the body by oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids. As a coenzyme of mitochondrial multienzyme complexes, it participates in the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid and alpha-keto acids.
Oktolipen helps to lower blood glucose and increase glycogen in the liver, as well as overcome insulin resistance. By the nature of the biochemical action, thioctic acid is close to B vitamins. Participates in the regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, stimulates cholesterol metabolism, improves liver function.
Oktolipen has a hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycemic effect. Improves trophic neurons and axonal conduction, reduces the manifestations of diabetic and alcoholic polyneuropathy.
Indications
Diabetic polyneuropathy alcoholic polyneuropathy.

Metabolism: symptoms of hypoglycemia (due to improved glucose uptake).
Allergic reactions: urticaria, systemic allergic reactions (including anaphylactic shock).
Drug Interactions
Thioctic acid (as a solution for infusion) reduces the effect of cisplatin.
With simultaneous use with insulin and / or oral hypoglycemic agents, an increase in the hypoglycemic effect is observed.
Thioctic acid forms difficult soluble complexes with sugar molecules. The prepared solution is incompatible with a solution of glucose, levulose, Ringer’s solution, as well as with compounds (including their solutions) that react with disulfide and SH-groups.
