Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Increases the body’s resistance to hypoxia, especially in brain tissues. Inhibits the development of traumatic or toxic brain edema, improves cerebral and peripheral blood circulation, improves blood rheology (prevents thrombosis).
It has a dose-dependent regulating effect on the vascular wall, dilates small arteries, and increases vein tone. Prevents the formation of free radicals and lipid peroxidation of cell membranes.
Normalizes the release, reabsorption, and catabolism of neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine) and their ability to bind to receptors. Improves metabolism in organs and tissues, promotes the accumulation of macroergs in cells, increases the utilization of oxygen and glucose, and normalizes mediator processes in the central nervous system.
Pharmacokinetics
Suction
After oral use, the bioavailability of terpenlactones (ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, and bilobalide) is 80% for ginkgolide A,88% for ginkgolide B, and 79% for bilobalide.
Distribution
Peak plasma concentrations were 16-22 ng / ml for ginkgolide A,8-10 ng/ml for ginkgolide B, and 27-54 ng/ml for bilobalide after oral use. Binding to plasma proteins is 43% for ginkgolide A,47% for ginkgolide B, and 67% for bilobalide.
Deduction
The elimination half-life is 3.9 hours for ginkgolide A,4-6 hours for ginkgolide B, and 2-3 hours for bilobalide.
Indications
Symptomatic treatment of cognitive impairment in adults (memory impairment, decreased concentration and intellectual abilities).
As part of the complex therapy of vertigo of vestibular origin as an auxiliary treatment in addition to vestibular rehabilitation.
Symptomatic treatment of tinnitus (ringing or tinnitus).
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Due to the lack of sufficient clinical data, the use of the drug is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, reduced blood clotting, erosive gastritis in the acute stage, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute stage, acute cerebrovascular disorders, acute myocardial infarction, pregnancy and lactation, children under 18 years of age (due to the lack of sufficient clinical data).
With caution
Use in patients with epilepsy; with arterial hypotension.
Side effects
Possible allergic reactions (redness, swelling of the skin, itching), dyspepsia, headache, decreased blood clotting, hearing disorders, dizziness.
Any adverse events when taking the drug should be reported to your doctor.
Interaction
It is not recommended to use the drug in patients who are constantly taking acetylsalicylic acid, anticoagulants (direct and indirect action), as well as thiazide diuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants, gentamicin. There may be isolated cases of bleeding in patients who are simultaneously taking medications that reduce blood clotting, the causal relationship of these bleeds with the use of ginkgo bilobate preparations is not confirmed.
When used with antihypertensive agents, the antihypertensive effect may be potentiated.
Concomitant use of ginkgo bilabialis with efavirenz is not recommended, as it is possible to reduce its concentration in blood plasma due to the induction of the cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme under the influence of ginkgo bilabialis extract.
A study of interaction with talinolol shows that ginkgo bilobate extract can inhibit intestinal P-glycoproteins. This may increase the exposure of P-glycoprotein-sensitive drugs in the gut, such as dabigatran, and caution should be exercised when using them simultaneously.
