Indications for use:
It is used for functional hyperbilirubinemia (increased bilirubin content in the blood), for patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases, for jaundice caused by enzymopathies (diseases associated with the absence or impaired activity of liver enzymes) and benign intrahepatic cholestasis (bile stasis), with food allergies accompanied by jaundice, as well as for the prevention and treatment of jaundice in newborns. There is evidence of the effectiveness of zixorin in the complex therapy of skin diseases (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis) and in chemotherapy of patients with tuberculosis.
Pharmacological action:
Hepatoprotective (protecting liver tissue) agent. Induces oxidase enzymatic activity of liver microsomes; enhances the formation of glucuronides, promotes the excretion of endogenous and exogenous metabolites (metabolic products), increases the secretion of bile. The drug acts relatively selectively on microsomal enzymes, it does not have other pronounced pharmacological effects.
