Aktovegin prepared from bovine blood, therefore it consists only of physiological components which are normally present in the body. It activates cellular metabolism by increasing the transport and accumulation of glucose and oxygen, strengthening their intracellular digestion. These processes lead to an increase in energy cells. In conditions of oxygen deficiency (eg, stroke) or when excessive energy consumption when there are active processes of healing and tissue repair, aktovegin stimulates energy processes and improves blood flow. Aktovegina effect begins to emerge after 10-30 minutes after administration and reaches a peak in the middle after 3 hours.
