Pharmacodynamics
Thioctic (α-lipoic) acid participates in mitochondrial metabolism in the cell and functions as a coenzyme in the complex for the transformation of substances that have a pronounced antitoxic effect. They protect the cell from free radicals that arise during intermediate metabolism or during the breakdown of exogenous foreign substances and from heavy metals. The synergistic effect of α-lipoic acid in relation to insulin is known to increase glucose utilization. In patients with diabetes mellitus, thioctic acid leads to a change in the concentration of pyruvic acid in the blood.
Pharmacokinetics
Thioctacid® BV
When taken orally, it is quickly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Concomitant food intake may reduce the absorption of the drug. Cmax in blood plasma after taking 1 tablet. Thioctacida® BV is 4 μg/ml; the time to achieve it is 25–30 minutes. Has a “first pass” effect through the liver. The relative bioavailability of Thioctacid® BV is more than 60%. T1/2 - 25 min. The main metabolic pathways are oxidation and conjugation. Thioctic acid and its metabolites are excreted by the kidneys (80–90%).

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before taking this medicine. Pregnant women can be treated with thioctic acid only as prescribed by the attending physician after a thorough assessment of the benefit-risk ratio and under the supervision of the attending physician, since there is no experience with this group of patients. Available data from animal studies have not shown any effects on fertility or teratogenic effects. There is no information on the penetration of thioctic acid or its metabolites into breast milk. The attending physician must decide either to stop breastfeeding or to cancel therapy with the drug Thioctacid® 600 T, taking into account the benefits of breastfeeding for the child and the benefits of therapy for the mother.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and other mechanisms
Thioctacid® 600 T may adversely affect the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery. If side effects such as dizziness/vertigo or other central nervous system disturbances occur, activities requiring increased alertness such as driving and using machinery or dangerous tools should be avoided.
Precautionary measures
With parenteral administration of the drug Thioctacid® 600 T, hypersensitivity reactions were observed, including anaphylactic shock (see section “Side effects”). Therefore, constant monitoring of the patient is necessary during treatment. If early symptoms appear (for example, itching, nausea, malaise, etc.), treatment with the drug should be stopped immediately; If necessary, additional therapeutic measures are carried out. After using the drug Thioctacid® 600 T, there may be a change in the smell of urine, which has no clinical significance. Cases of autoimmune insulin syndrome (AIS) have been reported during treatment with thioctic (alpha-lipoic) acid. Patients with certain alleles, such as HLA-DRJB 1*04:06 and HLA-DRB 1*04:03, are more susceptible to developing AIS when treated with thioctic acid. The HLA-DRB 1*04:03 allele (susceptibility to AIS, odds ratio: 1.6) is more common in Caucasians (more often in Southern Europe than in Northern Europe). The HLA-DRB 1*04:06 allele (susceptibility to AIS, odds ratio: 56.6) is mainly found in individuals from Japan and Korea. Autoimmune insulin syndrome should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of spontaneous hypoglycemia in patients receiving thioctic acid (see section "Side effects").
Interaction with other drugs
When administered simultaneously with the drug Thioctacid® 600 T, a decrease in the effect of cisplatin is observed. When used simultaneously with the drug Thioctacid® 600 T, the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and/or antidiabetic drugs for oral administration may be enhanced. Therefore, regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is recommended, especially at the beginning of therapy with Thioctacid® 600 T. In some cases, it may be necessary to reduce the dose of hypoglycemic drugs to avoid the development of symptoms of hypoglycemia. Attention: Regular consumption of alcohol is an important risk factor for the onset and progression of polyneuropathy and may affect the results of treatment with Thioctacid® 600 T. Patients with diabetic polyneuropathy should avoid drinking alcohol. This warning also applies to periods between courses of drug treatment.
Contraindications
Thioctacid® 600 T is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to thioctic acid or excipients included in the drug.

Overdose
In case of overdose, nausea, vomiting and headache may occur. After accidental or intentional (suicidal) oral administration of thioctic acid in doses of 10 to 40 g together with alcohol, severe intoxication was observed, sometimes with fatal outcome. Clinical signs of intoxication may initially manifest as psychomotor agitation or confusion; in the future, they are usually accompanied by generalized convulsive seizures and the development of lactic acidosis. In addition, hypoglycemia, shock, rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), bone marrow suppression, and multiple organ failure have been reported as a consequence of intoxication with high doses of thioctic acid. Therapeutic procedures in case of intoxication: Even with the slightest suspicion of intoxication with Thioctacid® (for example, more than 10 tablets containing 600 mg of thioctic acid in adults and more than 50 mg/kg body weight in children), immediate hospitalization with general therapeutic measures for detoxification is indicated ( for example, induction of vomiting, gastric lavage, taking activated charcoal, etc.). Treatment of generalized seizures, lactic acidosis and all other life-threatening consequences of intoxication should be based on the principles of modern intensive care, symptomatic treatment is carried out. To date, the effectiveness of hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, or filtration methods to accelerate the removal of thioctic acid from the body has not been confirmed. Incompatibility In vitro, thioctic acid reacts with ionic metal complexes (for example, with cisplatin). With sugar molecules, thioctic acid forms poorly soluble complex compounds (for example, with levulose solution).
