ASD for psoriasis

The veterinary drug ASD – in the form of a thick brownish liquid – has been used since the late 1940s for infections and suppuration of various external injuries (wounds, fistulas, ulcers).

Indications ASD for psoriasis

Also, indications for the use of this drug include lesions of zoonotic infections of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory and genitourinary systems of farm and domestic animals.

Attempts of sick people to use ASD for psoriasis can be explained by the desire to improve their condition and achieve remission of this chronic incurable autoimmune disease. Moreover, over the past few years, with the development of private pharmaceutical business and successful Internet promotion of its products, a number of human pathologies (including diseases of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, tuberculosis and even oncology) have been included in the indications for the use of Dorogov's antiseptic stimulator (ASD) (in the absence of clinical randomized placebo-controlled studies).

Pharmacodynamics

The principle of action and consequences of using ASD for psoriasis and other dermatological and internal human diseases have not been thoroughly studied, so we will focus on what is included in the composition of this product, and how its manufacturers explain the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of the antiseptic stimulant.

The raw material for obtaining ASD is ordinary meat and bone meal (MBM), produced from what remains during the processing of cattle at meat processing plants. MBM is subjected to high-temperature decomposition (sublimation), and then the sublimate is condensed and separated into fractions - ASD 2 and ASD 3.

All studies of this veterinary drug were conducted on animals in the 50-60s of the last century; as a result, the ability of ASD to influence metabolism (increasing the rate of development of young animals in poultry and pig farming), stimulate the central nervous system and the defenses of sick animals was discovered. The drug became an officially recognized means of veterinary medicine as a biogenic stimulant with an antiseptic effect, as well as a means of tissue therapy.

According to the instructions, ASD for psoriasis has an immunobiological effect on the body, accelerating regenerative processes due to the complex effect of the substances included in its composition, which activate general and tissue metabolism.

By the way, it was possible to obtain a more reliable idea of the composition of the drug relatively recently thanks to the latest spectroscopy methods. The action of ASD 2 in psoriasis and other diseases, as well as ASD 3 in psoriasis, is ensured by bactericidal and other properties of the sublimation products of MCM proteins: quaternary ammonium salts; low-molecular amides; sulfur-containing lower aliphatic thiols (mercaptans, which give the product a disgusting odor); methylene compounds; phenol derivatives; choline esters of dicarboxylic acids; pyridine bases; substituted urea and other compounds. And although the pharmacodynamics of most of these substances has not been studied (and is not reflected in the instructions for the drug), researchers suggest that the alkaline nature of this drug (pH 9.5) plays an important role, due to which the metabolism in tissues is optimized.

It is reported that ASD has a Russian patent for use in the treatment of the consequences of chemotherapy, as well as a patent for the "human version" of ASD, registered in 2000 as an "activation therapy agent". It is indicated that ASD has a regulating effect on the production of amino acids, which are necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and thus the drug has a cholinomimetic effect (excites and inhibits acetylcholine receptors). These conclusions were made back in the 1950s by researchers at the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine (VIEV) during experiments conducted on animals.

Dosing and administration

For dermatological diseases, as well as ASD-2 for psoriasis, it is recommended to take it internally. The dosage varies in different sources.

First version: dissolve 1-40 drops of ASD liquid in 100 ml of regular water; can be taken every day or every other day.

According to the second version, ASD should be taken 15-30 drops twice a day - half an hour before or 45 minutes after meals.

The third option involves taking 1-5 ml of the product once a day – in the morning, half an hour before the first meal.

The third fraction of this product is toxic, and ASD 3 for psoriasis is used only locally - in the form of a 25% oil solution, which is applied to the affected areas of the skin.

Use ASD for psoriasis during pregnancy

According to the instructions for the veterinary drug, there are no contraindications for its use in animals. There is no information on the side effects of ASD-2 for psoriasis, nor is there information on whether it can be used during pregnancy. The instructions for ASD 3 note the possibility of both local irritation of the skin and the development of general intoxication.

Contraindications

The manufacturers of the drug indicate the consumption of alcoholic beverages and drugs containing ethanol as the only contraindication to the use of ASD 2 (although this, in principle, characterizes its interactions with other drugs).

Reviews of ASD for psoriasis

There are no reviews of ASD for psoriasis from dermatologists, and all other (quite numerous) comments about the use of this product in the treatment of various diseases that are distributed online (on non-medical sites) can be regarded as advertising. Especially considering the fact that ASD for animals can be found in veterinary pharmacies, and ASD for people has recently been produced at a small enterprise and is sold via the Internet, including through online stores of individual private medical centers.
