PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
The drug is a rationally selected complex of metabolic substances and vitamins.
Cocarboxylase is a coenzyme formed in the body from externally supplied thiamine (vitamin B1). It plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and is part of the carboxylase enzyme that catalyzes the carboxylation and decarboxylation of α-keto acids. It indirectly promotes the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. It reduces lactic and pyruvic acid levels, improves glucose utilization, and enhances nervous tissue trophism.
Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin PP, involved in cellular redox processes and improves carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism.
Disodium adenosine triphosphate trihydrate is an adenosine derivative that stimulates metabolic processes. It has hypotensive and antiarrhythmic effects and causes vasodilation, including of coronary arteries.
Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) is converted in the body into active forms (adenosylcobalamin or cobamamide) with high biological activity. It increases protein synthesis and accumulation, enhances carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, reduces blood cholesterol, prevents fatty liver infiltration. It is essential for normal hematopoietic function, increases erythrocyte resistance to hemolysis, promotes tissue regeneration, and has beneficial effects on liver and nervous system function.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
·Cocarboxylase enhances the cardiotonic effect of cardiac glycosides.
· When nicotinamide is used together with antiepileptic drugs (especially carbamazepine, diazepam, and sodium valproate), their anticonvulsant effect may be potentiated.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
- Before administration of Startum, patients with suspected hypersensitivity to the components are recommended to undergo an intradermal test.
- The prepared solution must be red in color.
- The solution must be used immediately after preparation.
Use during pregnancy and lactation:
