pharmachologic effect
The drug has a complex effect, which is determined by its constituent components.
Vitamin B1 has an active effect on the processes of neuromuscular regulation and is actively involved in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Vitamin B6 helps normalize the functioning of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. It also takes an active part in the metabolic processes of the body. Participates in the synthesis of neurotransmitters.
Vitamin B12 helps normalize the functioning of the liver and nervous system, stimulates the process of blood clotting, metabolic processes, and takes part in the synthesis of amino acids.
Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids.
Nicotinamide takes part in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and in the processes of tissue respiration.
What vitamins are included in Pentovit?
The Pentovit multivitamin complex consists of 5 active water-soluble components:
- 10 mg thiamine hydrochloride (B1);
- 5 mg pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6);
- 0.4 mg folic acid (B9);
- 20 mg of nicotinic acid (B3, PP);
- 0.05 mg cyanocobalamin (B12).
Vitamin B1 normalizes the functioning of the neuromuscular system, is responsible for the production of the neurotransmitter ACH and the process of conducting nervous excitation at synapses. It affects the quality of memorizing information, the tone of the heart muscle and digestive organs. Thiamine is involved in the absorption of amino acids, lipid and protein metabolism.
Vitamin B6 is responsible for the synthesis of substances that regulate blood pressure levels, heart function, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters that are responsible for brain function and mood. Pyridoxine affects the functioning of the nervous and immune systems.
Vitamin B9 is involved in the transmission of genetic information, protein metabolism, the synthesis of red blood cells, leukocytes, and neurotransmitters. Folic acid is necessary for proper cell division and growth.
Vitamin B3 improves the absorption of nutrients, normalizes metabolism, promotes the synthesis of enzymes and the release of energy. It is required for the production of cortisol, insulin and a number of sex hormones.
Vitamin B12 has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous system and is involved in the biosynthesis of the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers.
Cyanocobalamin in the composition is needed for the absorption of amino acids, the formation of nucleic acids, and hematopoiesis.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) is primarily absorbed in the duodenum and small intestine. Thiamine is distributed throughout all tissues. Approximately about 1 mg of thiamine is metabolized daily. Thiamine metabolites are excreted by the kidneys.
Vitamin PP (nicotinamide) is quickly absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. It is distributed evenly throughout all tissues and organs.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, after which it is converted in the liver into pyridoxal phosphate, that is, into the active form of the vitamin. The final product of metabolism is 4-pyridoxylic acid, which is excreted from the body through the kidneys.
Folic acid in small doses is absorbed through absorption, and large doses through diffusion. Absorbed in the form of simple hydrolysates. Distributed in all tissues. The biotransformation and metabolism of folic acid have not yet been studied.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is transported to the ileum by a glycoprotein. If the vitamin enters the body in large doses, it is absorbed through simple diffusion. Vitamin metabolism is very slow. Excreted in bile.
