The properties
According to the instructions for use with Bystrumgel (ointment), the active substance of the drug can not selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2, which leads to disruption of the omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid cycle.
Treatment with a medication leads to a decrease in the production of histamine and bradycardin, which causes the process of inhibition of the exudative stage of inflammation. The connection with cyclooxygenase isoenzymes is the reason for the decrease in the permeability of the walls of blood vessels.
The Bystrumgel active microelement slows down the oxidative process of transferring the phosphoric acid residue from the phosphorylating donor agent to the substrate, which disrupts the normal synthesis of the carbohydrate part of proteoglycans, polysaccharides, and also inhibits metabolic decay by reducing the production of adenosine triphosphoric acid.
This reduces the energy supply of the source of the inflammatory process. And also the active microelement of the drug reduces the rate of chemical reactions of free radicals and preserves the cell membranes from the disturbances that occur due to these particles.
According to the instructions for Bystrumgel, the ointment has an analgesic effect, which is explained by the inhibition of the acquisition by the body of a specific increased sensitivity to foreign substances of prostaglandins.
The degree of swelling and the intensity of inflammation is eliminated, which helps to reduce the pressure on the painful nerve endings. The bioavailability of the drug is only five percent. With external use, its absorption rate is low, while it is not addictive.
