Means, influencing metabolic processes.
Thioctic (a-lipoic) acid is involved in the mitochondrial metabolism of the cell, performs the function of coenzyme in the complex of transformation of substances with a pronounced antitoxic effect. They protect the cell from reactive radicals arising from the intermediate metabolism or the decomposition of exogenous foreign substances, and from heavy metals. The synergistic effect of α-lipoic acid with respect to insulin is known with regard to increasing glucose utilization. In diabetic patients, thioctic acid leads to a change in the concentration of pyruvic acid in the blood.

Indications and usage

Treatment of symptoms of peripheral (sensory-motor) diabetic polyneuropathy.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to thioctic (a-lipoic) acid or other components of the drug.

Use of the drug during pregnancy is possible only when the expected benefit to the mother exceeds the risk to the fetus and under the strict supervision of a physician. Since it is not known whether thioctic (a-lipoic) acid passes into mother's milk, the drug should not be used during lactation.

Consistent alcohol use is a risk factor for polyneuropathy and may reduce the therapeutic effect of Thioctacide 600 and Thioctacid 600T Therefore, patients are advised to refrain from taking alcoholic beverages both during drug treatment and during periods outside of treatment.

Drug interactions

With simultaneous appointment with Thioctacid 600, there is a decrease in the effectiveness of Cisplatin.

With simultaneous use, the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and antidiabetic drugs may increase, therefore regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended, especially at the start of therapy with Thioctacid 600T. In order to avoid lowering blood sugar levels, in some cases it may be necessary to reduce the insulin dosage or the dose of oral anti-dibbic agents.

In some cases, allergic reactions may occur: rash, hives, itching. In some cases, due to improved glucose utilization, blood sugar levels may decrease. In such cases, the development of such symptoms of hypoglycemia including, dizziness, increased sweating, headache, visual disturbance.
With rapid intravenous administration, sometimes there is an increase in intracranial pressure and breath holding, which pass on their own.
In some cases, after intravenous administration, convulsions, double vision, punctate hemorrhages and a tendency to bleeding (due to dysfunction of platelets) were observed. As a result of improved glucose uptake in some cases, blood sugar levels may decrease.
