Pharmacological effects
The tool “Influnet” (reviews note that after the first use the drug removes weakness, relieves pain and sore throat, facilitates breathing) is a combination drug that has antipyretic, decongestant, angioprotective and analgesic effects.
Paracetamol as part of a medication relieves fever and fever. It has an analgesic effect.
Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, normalizes carbohydrate metabolism, participates in redox functions, produces steroid-type hormones, is involved in cell tissue regeneration processes, stimulates the body's protective functions, reduces capillary susceptibility, increases the liver detoxification property, and normalizes blood coagulation processes. Replenishes the deficiency of vitamin C, which occurs with acute respiratory viral infections, flu and colds.
Succinic acid contained in this drug improves both physiological and biochemical recovery processes in the body. It is characterized by immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, as well as antioxidant properties. It stimulates the energy metabolism in mitochondria, normalizes the permeability of cell membranes, and is considered an intermediate of the Krebs cycle. Increases the positive effects of drugs, reducing toxicity when taking medication.
Rutoside reduces the vulnerability of capillary channels, removes swelling of tissues and the inflammatory process in the body. It makes the walls of blood vessels stronger, delays aggregation and increases the level of red blood cell deformation.
Phenylephrine hydrochloride activates postsynaptic α-adrenergic receptors, reduces swelling and hyperemia of the nasal mucosa, normalizes respiration, and lowers pressure in the sinuses and auricle.
The combined action of these components provides the most effective effect of the drug on the human body during the period of illness.
