Pharmachologic effect:
Pharmacodynamics:
Thioctic acid is an endogenous antioxidant (binds free radicals).
In the body it is formed during the 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. Helps reduce blood glucose concentrations and increase glycogen in the liver, as well as reduce insulin resistance.
Participates in the regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, affects cholesterol metabolism, improves liver function, has a detoxification effect in cases of poisoning with heavy metal salts and other intoxications. It has hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycemic effects. Improves trophism of neurons.
In diabetes mellitus, thioctic acid reduces the formation of advanced glycation end products, improves endoneurial blood flow, increases glutathione content to physiological values, which ultimately leads to an improvement in the functional state of peripheral nerve fibers in diabetic polyneuropathy.
Pharmacokinetics:
When taken orally, it is quickly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; simultaneous intake with food reduces absorption. Bioavailability – 30-60% due to the “first pass” effect through the liver. The time to reach the maximum concentration (6 μg/ml) is about 30 minutes. Metabolized in the liver by side chain oxidation and conjugation. Thioctic acid and its metabolites are excreted by the kidneys (80-90%), in small quantities - unchanged. Half-life 25 min.
Indications for use:
Diabetic polyneuropathy and alcoholic polyneuropathy.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to thioctic acid or other components of the drug. Children under 18 years of age.

eczema.
• If any of the side effects indicated in the instructions get worse, or you notice any other side effects not listed in the instructions, Tell your doctor about this.
Overdose:
Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, headache.
When taking doses of 10 to 40 g of thioctic acid in combination with alcohol, cases of intoxication, including death, were observed.
Symptoms of acute overdose: psychomotor agitation or confusion, usually followed by the development of generalized convulsions and the formation of lactic acidosis. Cases of hypoglycemia, shock, rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, bone marrow depression and multiorgan failure have also been described.
Treatment is symptomatic. There is no specific antidote.
Interaction with other drugs:
Thioctic acid enhances the anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticosteroids. With the simultaneous administration of thioctic acid and cisplatin, a decrease in the effectiveness of cisplatin is observed.
Thioctic acid binds metals, so it should not be prescribed simultaneously with drugs containing metals (for example, iron, magnesium, calcium) - the interval between doses should be at least 2 hours.
With simultaneous use of thioctic acid and insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs, their effect may be enhanced.
Ethanol and its metabolites weaken the effect of thioctic acid.
• If you are already taking other medications or are planning to take them, be sure to consult your doctor before taking Thiogamma ®.
special instructions
Patients with rare hereditary fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome or glucose-isomaltose deficiency should not take Thiogamma ®.
In patients with diabetes mellitus, constant monitoring of blood glucose concentrations is necessary, especially at the initial stage of therapy.
In some cases, it is necessary to reduce the dose of insulin or oral hypoglycemic drug to avoid the development of hypoglycemia.
If hypoglycemia develops, you must immediately stop taking the drug Thiogamma ®.
If symptoms of hypersensitivity appear, you must immediately stop taking the drug Thiogamma ®.
Patients taking Thiogamma ® should refrain from drinking alcohol. Alcohol consumption during therapy with Thiogamma ® reduces the therapeutic effect and is a risk factor contributing to the development and progression of neuropathy.
1 film-coated tablet of Thiogamma ® 600 mg contains less than 0.0041 bread units.

Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active ingredient of the drug is thioctic (alpha-lipoic) acid. It is an endogenous antioxidant that binds free radicals. Thioctic acid is formed in the body during the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids. It is a coenzyme of multienzyme complexes in mitochondria and is involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids and pyruvic acid.
Alpha lipoic acid helps reduce blood glucose levels, increase glycogen concentrations in the liver and overcome insulin resistance. According to the mechanism of action, it is close to B vitamins.
Thioctic acid regulates carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, improves liver function and stimulates cholesterol metabolism. It has hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective and hypocholesterolemic effects. Helps improve neuron nutrition.
When using the megluminic salt of alpha-lipoic acid (has a neutral reaction) in solutions for intravenous administration, the severity of side effects can be reduced.
Pharmacokinetics
When administered orally, thioctic acid is quickly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. When taken simultaneously with food, absorption of the drug is reduced. Bioavailability is 30%. To achieve the maximum concentration of the active substance, it takes from 40 to 60 minutes.
Thioctic acid undergoes a first-pass effect through the liver. Metabolized in two ways: by conjugation and by oxidation of the side chain.
The volume of distribution is approximately 450 ml/kg. Up to 80–90% of the dose taken is excreted by the kidneys in the form of metabolites and unchanged. The half-life ranges from 20 to 50 minutes. The total plasma clearance of the drug is 10–15 ml/min.
The time to reach maximum plasma concentration with intravenous administration of Thiogamma is 10–11 minutes, and the maximum plasma concentration is 25–38 mcg/ml. AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) is approximately 5 mcg/h/ml.
Indications for use
Thiogamma is a drug intended for the treatment of polyneuropathy (diabetic and alcoholic).
Contraindications
- hereditary galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption (for tablets);
- age under 18 years;
- pregnancy;
- breastfeeding period;
- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
