Pharmacological action of Altana tablets
Altan is a complex preparation consisting of substances of polyphenol origin - derivatives of elagotannins, which include gallic and ellagic acids, alnitannins, ethyl gallate and others.

Hydrolyzed tannins (ellagic and gallic acids) in the composition of the drug provide antimicrobial activity against Salmonella enteridis, Staphylococcus aureus, Citrobacter diversus, Enterobacter aerogenes.

The reparative effect of the drug is provided by quercetin, rutin, catechin, leucoanthencian and other flavonoids, which stimulate protein synthesis and improve local blood supply.
