Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The drug has the properties of nicotinic acid and drugs of the theophylline group: improves collateral circulation , expands the lumen of peripherally located vessels, has a pronounced antiplatelet effect , enhances the process of ATP synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation.
The principle of action is based on substrate stimulation of the synthesis of NAD-phosphate and NAD, on increasing the intracellular content of cAMP, on blocking phosphodiesterase and adenosine receptors.
Xanthinol Nicotinate improves tissue nutrition, oxygenation, and microcirculation . With long-term use, there is an increase in lipoprotein lipase activity, a decrease in the concentration of atherogenic lipids and cholesterol, activation of fibrinolysis processes, an anti-atherosclerotic effect , platelet aggregation decreases, and blood viscosity decreases.
The medication reduces the severity of the effects of cerebral hypoxia, enhances cerebral circulation , helps to increase MBF, enhances myocardial contraction, and reduces peripheral vascular resistance.
The drug is characterized by a “nicotine-like syndrome”, which manifests itself as an exacerbation of the sensitivity of taste and olfactory sensations due to hyperesthesia of the mucous membranes of the oral and nasal cavities.
Xanthinol Nicotinate tablets 150 mg No. 60
Compound
Active substance: xanthinol nicotinate - 150 mg.
Excipients: lactose monohydrate - 15.7 mg, potato starch - 51.3 mg, calcium stearate - 2.3 mg, povidone K17 - 10.7 mg.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration of xanthinol, nicotinate is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In the body it dissociates to form xanthinol and nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid is less than 20% bound to blood proteins. Preclinical studies on mice showed that nicotinic acid combined with a radioactive isotope accumulates in the liver, kidneys and adipose tissue.
Metabolism of nicotinic acid occurs in the liver. There are two pathways for the metabolism of nicotinic acid: the first pathway is the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) followed by conversion to N-methylnicotinamide and M-methyl-2-pyridone-5 - carboxamide (the main metabolic pathway when taking nicotinic acid in low doses) and the second Pathway: conjugation with glycine to form nicotinic uric acid. Nicotinic acid is excreted in the urine, mainly in the form of metabolites; with repeated administration, up to 12% of the dose of nicotinic acid is excreted in the urine unchanged.
Indications for use
As part of complex therapy: obliterating atherosclerosis of the vessels of the extremities, Raynaud's disease, obliterating endarteritis, diabetic angiopathy, acute thrombophlebitis (superficial and deep veins), trophic ulcers of the legs, cerebrovascular insufficiency, Meniere's syndrome, cerebral atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular accident, atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries , hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity, acute heart failure or decompensated chronic heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, stenosis of the left atrioventricular orifice, arterial hypotension, granzitory arterial hypertension, bleeding, pregnancy (I trimester), acute stage of gastric and duodenal ulcers, acute renal failure, glaucoma.
Lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
Children under 18 years of age.
Directions for use and doses
Prescribed orally for adults, starting with 150 mg 3 times a day; if necessary, the dose is increased to 300-600 mg 3 times a day. The tablets are taken after meals without chewing. As the patient's condition improves, the dose is reduced to 150 mg 2-3 times a day. The course of treatment usually lasts at least 2 months.
In case of acute disorders of the blood supply to tissues, the drug is administered parenterally with simultaneous administration of 300 mg (2 tablets) 3 times a day orally.
Storage conditions
Store in a dry place, protected from light, at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C. Keep out of the reach of children.
Best before date
3 years. Do not use after the expiration date.
special instructions
Use xanthinol nicotinate with caution in labile blood pressure.
Xanthinol nicotinate causes a “nicotine-like” syndrome, accompanied by hyperesthesia of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and mouth (exacerbates the sensitivity of the olfactory and taste receptors). In this regard, the smell and taste of alcoholic beverages taken during therapy is perceived as more pungent and perverted.
In patients with diabetes mellitus, glycemia should be carefully monitored.
Avoid contact of xanthinol nicotinate with eyes or mucous membranes.
Description
Vasodilating agent.
Use in children
The use of xanthinol nicotinate in children is contraindicated (no experience of use).
Pharmacodynamics
Combines the properties of substances from the theophylline and nicotinic acid groups: dilates peripheral blood vessels, improves collateral circulation, enhances oxidative phosphorylation and the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate. By reducing peripheral resistance and increasing myocardial contraction, the drug helps to increase minute blood volume. Xanthinol nicotinate increases cerebral circulation and reduces the severity of the effects of cerebral hypoxia.
Side effects
From the cardiovascular system: possible decrease in blood pressure, transient sensation of warmth, redness of the skin.
From the digestive system: rarely - nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, gastralgia; with long-term use in high doses, an increase in the level of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase is possible.
From the nervous system: headache.
Allergic reactions: skin itching, urticaria, angioedema, anaphylactic shock.
Other: weakness, chills, tingling of the skin, especially in the head and neck area (these symptoms usually disappear after 10-20 minutes and do not require special treatment and refusal to use this drug); with long-term use in high doses, changes in glucose tolerance and an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood serum are possible.
When using nicotinic acid preparations, a false increase in the concentration of catecholamines in the blood plasma and urine may be observed, and a false positive result for determining glucose in urine using the Benedict test may also be observed.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Contraindicated for use in the first trimester of pregnancy. In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the use of xanthinol nicotinate is permissible only if there are absolute indications, if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Xanthinol nicotinate in this case is used under close medical supervision.
If it is necessary to use xanthinol nicotinate during lactation, breastfeeding must be interrupted, because nicotinic acid is excreted in breast milk.
Interaction
To avoid a sharp decrease in blood pressure, xanthinol nicotinate should not be used simultaneously with antihypertensive drugs (including beta-blockers, alpha-blockers, ganglion blockers). Do not use simultaneously with MAO inhibitors and strophanthin.
The simultaneous use of nicotinic acid preparations in combination with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) may increase the risk of developing myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
Simultaneous use of alcohol may increase the severity of the side effects of xanthinol nicotinate (feeling of heat, redness of the skin).
Overdose
Acute overdose can manifest as arterial hypotension, abdominal pain and vomiting. In case of drug overdose, symptomatic therapy is prescribed.
Release form
Tablets, 150 mg.

Publications in the media
(Xantinoli nicotinas) INN
Synonyms. Complamin, Teonicol.
Composition and release form. Tablets and dragees of xanthinol nicotinate 0.15 g; 15% solution of xanthinol nicotinate in ampoules of 2 ml and 10 ml (for drip administration).
Indications. Obliterating arteriosclerosis; intermittent claudication; Raynaud's disease; diabetic angiopathy - retinopathy; trophic ulcers; cerebral circulation disorders, migraine, Meniere's syndrome; ischemic stroke.
Pharmachologic effect. Xanthinol nicotinate combines the properties of theophylline and nicotinic acid. Its vasodilatory effect is associated with inhibition of phosphodiesterase, accumulation of intracellular c-AMP, which leads to inhibition of the connection of myosin with actin and a decrease in the contraction of vascular smooth muscle. Theophylline's ability to block "slow" calcium channels in cell membranes also leads to relaxation of smooth muscles. The nicotine part of the xanthinol nicotinate molecule is a prosthetic group of the enzymes NAD and NADP, which are hydrogen carriers and participate in redox reactions. In addition, it also causes a vasodilator effect.
Pharmacokinetics. See theophylline.
Side effects. Feeling of heat, flushing, tingling and redness of the skin (head and neck); dizziness; hypotension; nausea, diarrhea, gastralgia.
Contraindications. First trimester of pregnancy; acute myocardial infarction, heart failure of II and III degrees; acute hemorrhages; gastric ulcer in the acute stage.
Adverse reactions when interacting with other drugs. When taking xanthinol nicotinate simultaneously with antihypertensive drugs or strophanthin, a sharp decrease in blood pressure is possible.
Information for the patient. The drug is usually started with a dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day; if necessary, the dose is increased to 2-3 tablets 3 times a day. The tablets are swallowed whole without chewing. When taking the drug on an empty stomach, absorption is more complete and rapid. Due to the nicotine part of the drug molecule, its tolerability varies. So, some patients, when taken on an empty stomach, may experience a feeling of warmth, redness of the scalp and neck, general weakness, and hypotension. They are advised to take the drug with or after meals to reduce the above side effects. Take the missed dose as soon as possible, but do not take it at all if there is almost no time left before the next dose: do not take double doses. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the vasodilatory effect of the drug, so they need to adjust the dose.
