Ascorutinum - a drug, which is composed of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and rutin (vitamin P). The main effect of this drug - reducing the permeability and capillary fragility. He also has other properties, such as Ascorutinum possesses excellent antioxidant properties - inhibits toxic effects of free radicals on the cells.

Ascorutin infectious diseases in children

Ascorbic acid enhances immunity Strengthening the immune system - help the immune system And rutin help it to penetrate the cells without additional energy expenditure. Immunity is very important for children because it helps to cope with infections. And since today is often infectious diseases caused by viruses, against which there is no more qualitative and effective medications own child's immune system is very important.

There are also a number of infections, the pathogens which cause violation of the permeability of the capillary walls, which significantly complicates the course of disease. These infections include influenza, scarlet fever and measles. Application in this case Ascorutinum contributes improvement of vascular walls decrease their fragility and permeability. As a result, children with influenza and measles Measles in children - may cause serious complications   reduced catarrhal phenomena, measles and scarlet fever will pass rash. Faster to treat a sore throat and scarlet.

Ascorutin acute and chronic glomerulonephritis in children

Glomerulonephritis - an infectious-allergic disease of the kidneys that starts with an infection, which is attached to the first allergy to an infectious agent, and then to the kidney tissue. This kidney tissue loses its function due to inflammation and swelling of her fabric consisting of glomeruli and tubules in which there is first the formation of primary urine and then the reabsorption of blood in her body needs substances. Glomerulonephritis process of urine is disturbed, leading to urinary excretion of large amounts of protein.

Ascorutin helps restore the function of the glomeruli and tubules of the kidney and reduce the loss of body protein. Therefore, in acute and chronic glomerulonephritis in children after three years in the comprehensive treatment usually includes Ascorutinum.

Ascorutin haemorrhagic diathesis in children

Haemorrhagic diathesis - these are diseases that are accompanied by increased bleeding. Children hemorrhagic diathesis may be either congenital or acquired.

For hemorrhagic diathesis include, for example, or kapillyarotoksikoz Henoch's disease. This disease usually occurs in children of preschool and primary school age as a result of an allergy to the infection, which then becomes allergic to its own tissue blood vessels. As a result of increased capillary permeability and the main feature of the disease is the appearance of the skin purpura.

For hemorrhagic diathesis relates thrombocytopenic purpura, or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. In this disease, hemorrhage and bleeding under the skin arise from the reduction in the number of platelets responsible for blood clotting.

When hemorrhagic diathesis in the complex treatment is always administered Ascorutinum which strengthens the walls of blood vessels, reduces the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase (which breaks down hyaluronic acid - the main extracellular matrix), is involved in the synthesis of connective tissue elements.

How to take

Ascorutin comes in tablet form for oral administration, taking pills after a meal, drinking water (mineral water and juice drink Ascorutinum Ascorutin - strengthen capillary walls and warn toxic effects svob   It can not be - it reduces its absorption in the gut). Children from three to 12 years with a view to preventing diseases administered at half or a whole tablet per day, for the treatment of - the same dose - from two to three times per day.

Children older than 12 years Ascorutinum appoint: for prevention - 1-2 tablets a day for treatment - 1-2 tablets up to three times a day.

Ascorutin acts slowly, so it is used long courses, at least three weeks in a row. On prescription treatment may be extended.

Side effects and contraindications

Because of side effects with Ascorutinum children may be nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, feeling hot, insomnia, kidney stones and urinary tract.

Ascorutin contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to it the body of the child, under the age of three years, diabetes Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease , Kidney stones, increased blood clotting.

Despite the availability of today is much more effective drugs, Ascorutinum often used in pediatrics.

Aktovegin - a natural medicine that helps to improve the metabolism of the cells. These drugs act prophylactically and more gently, to children in most cases do not require prophylaxis and treatment of various diseases.

In some cases, the child may need drugs that improve cellular metabolism

Children are often found perinatal brain lesions that occur during the period from 22 completed weeks (154 days) of intrauterine life of the fetus and ends one week after birth. During this period of pregnancy to the child affect a variety of hazards, which depend on his life and health.

The most important danger for the child during this period is the lack of blood flow, which is caused by placental insufficiency Placental insufficiency - deviation from the norm   (FPN). Particularly affected with brain cells. They do not get enough oxygen and nutrients, especially glucose, necessary for all biochemical reactions. As a result, the child may form perinatal damage of the nervous system (USC) - is diffuse (spread) microfocal degenerative brain damage (due to an eating disorder of brain tissue) character. This may be affected by the cerebral cortex and subcortical tissues of the child that the severe forms of the disease can lead to paralysis of the limbs and a significant backlog in the neuropsychological development.

Such diseases are manifested in various ways, depending on their severity. In mild USC child may be sluggish at first, and then excited, he may appear trembling chin, persistent vomiting, sleep disorders Dreams: how to understand our dreams . In more severe forms of child constantly lethargic, he had reduced muscle tone, sluggish breastfeeding, burp. Severe forms can manifest palsy and hydrocephalus - an increase in the head due to increased intracranial pressure. It was during these diseases of the central nervous system of children prescribed drugs that improve cellular metabolism, including aktovegin Aktovegin - without fear of negative consequences .

As aktovegin operates at USC in children - does it make sense to take it at all?

Actovegin - a drug that improves cell metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting . It is prepared using modern technology of drawing calf brain, thus leaving only the drug in the compound of low molecular weight, allowing to pass the blood-brain and the placental barrier, that is to penetrate from the blood into the central nervous system and the placenta of the mother's blood to the fetus.

Getting to the cells of the brain, improves aktovegin transport them and assimilation of glucose - the main source of energy, which allows cells to carry out all of its biochemical processes. In addition, it helps the cell to absorb oxygen and exist in the conditions of its deficiency.

If FPN occurring during fetal development of the child, aktovegin actually taken in order to prevent lesions of the central nervous system of the fetus, then at USC, when a child is already more or less damage brain tissue, he was appointed for the purpose of treatment. That is why such a difference in the effectiveness of aktovegina in pregnant women and in children.

When small, functional (without disturbing the structure of the brain) USC aktovegin can quickly lead to the restoration of cellular metabolism and the relief of symptoms of lung disease. Most often in such cases, it is assigned to an outpatient pediatric neurologist in the pills as part of comprehensive treatment. Of course, the appointment of an independent aktovegina in this case will not be too effective.

In more severe USC aktovegin prescribed as part of a treatment is usually in the form of intramuscular injections and intravenous infusions. Aktovegin nontoxic drug and gives no side effects, except for allergies. But allergies are possible and may occur very hard, up to anaphylactic shock as a drug of natural (animal) origin. Therefore, this treatment can be carried out only in a hospital. The degree of effectiveness when applied aktovegina children do not have reliable information confirmed by clinical studies. However, pediatric neurologists use it at USC, lagging children in psychological development, lagging academically in school.

Aktovegin - a quality drug of natural origin, it acts gently and slowly enough, so do not hope that it will some immediate effect, but improve the overall condition of the child in the complex therapy he can.
