PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacodynamics
Medotilin is a centrally acting cholinomimetic with a predominant effect on the central nervous system (CNS), containing 40.5% metabolically protected choline.
In the body, choline alfoscerate is broken down by brain enzymes into choline and alfoscerate, which is subsequently converted into glycerophosphate. Choline participates in the synthesis of acetylcholine, facilitating nerve impulse transmission and improving brain function. Glycerophosphate serves as a precursor of phosphatidylcholine, an essential component of neuronal membranes.
Medotilin improves cerebral blood flow, enhances metabolic processes in the brain, activates the structures of the reticular formation, and promotes recovery of consciousness following traumatic brain injury.
The drug exerts preventive and corrective effects on factors associated with involutional psycho-organic syndrome, including alterations in the phospholipid composition of neuronal membranes and decreased cholinergic activity.
