Deacura is a complex drug that fights biotin deficiency in the human body. Many girls want to look good, because natural data alone is not always enough for this. Therefore, various masks, lotions and other wisdom come into play. But in fact, it is enough to simply consult a doctor and find out the cause of brittle nails, dull and thin hair and skin diseases. After all, all this often lies in the lack of biotin, which Deacura can fully replenish.
Indications Deacuras
Indications for the use of Deacura are simple, the drug is used to improve appearance. So, the human body contains such a component as biotin. If it is in sufficient quantity, then this is immediately visible in a person. Strong nails, beautiful hair and no skin problems. As soon as the component is not enough, all these pleasant bonuses disappear.
Rashes and other skin problems may appear. Hair begins to fade, break and become lifeless. Nails break, grow poorly and constantly flake. All this directly depends on the biotin content. Therefore, this remedy is prescribed for its deficiency.
The drug is also used to eliminate genetically determined enzymopathies associated with biotin. In this case, we mean multiple carboxylase deficiency. Despite such simple indications, it is better to consult a doctor and only then start using Deacura, because it contains active components that can negatively affect the human body.
Release form
The release form of this medicine, like many others with a similar effect, is presented in tablets. In this form, it is much more convenient to take the drug. Thus, one tablet contains 5 mg of the active substance. There are several types of packaging of the drug.
Much depends on the content of the active substance. The product is also available in bottles. This is the best option for home use. If a person is constantly on the move, then it is best to give preference to tablets. They will always be at hand, and you can take them at any time.
Each person decides for themselves which form of release to choose. There are no special differences. The only difference is the number of tablets in the blister and the content of the active component in them. Naturally, this plays a big role. Therefore, to begin with, it is worth determining what kind of biotin deficiency we are talking about and only then choose a certain type of Deacur. This issue is handled by the attending physician, who draws conclusions based on the tests performed.

Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics of the drug - the active substance is biotin. It is one of the soluble vitamins of group B. Biotin plays an important role in the human body. It is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is considered vital for the development of cells and their normal growth.
Once biotin enters the body, it begins to act as a coenzyme of carboxylases. It has an insulin-like effect and takes part in the process of gluconeogenesis. All this happens due to participation in the synthesis of glucokinase. As a result of this process, the blood sugar level is stabilized.
The functions of the nervous system are actively improved. Biotin is a synergist of other B vitamins, pantothenic acid and cyanocobalamin. There is evidence of the participation of this component in the synthesis of purine nucleotides. Biotin is a source of sulfur. It takes part in the synthesis of collagen protein. Thus, it is possible to positively influence the structure of the skin and its appendages. In this case, we mean hair and nails. Therefore, it is necessary to take Deacura.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics shows that the substance biotin, when entering the human body with food, is synthesized by the intestinal microflora. In the upper part of the intestine, the absorption of free biotin begins. At this point, the substance is able to penetrate the intestinal wall unchanged.
This process occurs due to diffusion. Biotin is 80% bound to blood plasma. The concentration of the substance in free or only weakly bound form is about 200-1200 mcg per liter.
After a while, biotin is freely excreted in the urine. This process occurs gradually. Approximately 6 to 50 mg is excreted in the urine and feces. Biotin leaves the body unchanged by 50%. The rest is made up of biologically inactive metabolites.
The half-life period directly depends on the amount of the dose administered. Basically, it is 26 hours after it is administered orally. In patients with biotinidase deficiency, the half-life period can be reduced to 10-14 hours. Much depends on what dose of Deacur was taken.
[ 2 ]
Dosing and administration
The recommended method of use and dosage of Deacur is one tablet per day. This is quite enough to bring nails, hair and skin in order. One tablet contains approximately 2.5 mg of biotin. Replenishment of this medication should be gradual. The fact that a person begins to exceed the dose will not improve faster. On the contrary, this can lead to a worsening of the situation. In some cases, the dose can be increased. But this effect does not always give a quick effect. The maximum daily dose of biotin should not exceed 5 mg.
If we are talking about the treatment of genetically determined enzymopathies that are associated with biotin, then it is worth taking 4-8 tablets per day. The maximum dose in this case is up to 20 mg. This amount is divided into 1-2 doses. In this case, everything is individual.
The duration of treatment is one month. But much depends on the specific situation and the nature of the disease. But in any case, Deacura can be taken in increased doses only with the permission of a doctor.

Use Deacuras during pregnancy
The use of Deacur during pregnancy requires consultation with a doctor. The drug does not contain dangerous components that could harm the body of the mother or baby. Basically, it contains only biotin, which affects natural processes and replenishes its deficiency in the body.
Despite this, it is not recommended to take the drug on your own. No special studies have been conducted, so it is difficult to say for sure how the drug will affect the body. This drug is not considered mandatory.
The same situation is with the period of breastfeeding. If there is a need to take this complex, you should consult a doctor. It is not known whether the active substance penetrates the baby's body through milk or not. Such cases have not been observed and the necessary studies have not been conducted. In any case, there is no need to take risks. Therefore, it is best to think about your own health and the health of the baby and refrain from taking Deacur.
Contraindications
There are contraindications to the use of Deacur, this is increased sensitivity to biotin. If it is necessary to replenish the reserves of this substance, then you will have to find alternative ways. After all, taking the drug, while having an allergy to it, is clearly not worth it. No one knows how the body can react to this. In some cases, a simple effect is possible, when no special negative manifestations are noticed. But we should not exclude the fact that an allergic reaction can be of increased severity.
It is also not recommended to take Deacura for those people who have hypersensitivity to the auxiliary components of the drug. Such an effect can also lead to serious problems. In general, there are no other contraindications.
But, despite the absence of any other "prohibitions", a specialist consultation will not hurt. After all, there may not be a biotin deficiency in the human body, but Deacura will be taken. This will lead to an overdose, an increased dose of Deacura can harm the body.
Side effects Deacuras
Side effects of Deacura manifest themselves only in the form of an allergic reaction. Urticaria on the skin may well occur. When taking the medication, you need to be especially careful, because the drug can affect the body in any way. Especially in cases where a person does not know about the presence of hypersensitivity to some components of the drug.
If adverse reactions occur, you should immediately stop taking Deacur. Side effects may manifest themselves not only in the form of hives. Any previously unseen phenomena can safely be considered side effects. The main thing is to pay attention to everything that happens.
Side effects are sometimes very pronounced. Sometimes, on the contrary, they practically do not manifest themselves. Therefore, a person should be able to distinguish the presence of any problems. Otherwise, it can go to extremes. A large dose of biotin in the body leads to an overdose. Deacura should be taken in a clearly defined dosage.
[ 3 ]
Overdose
Overdose of Deacura is impossible. But, despite such a statement, its occurrence should not be excluded. The fact is that if you take the drug exactly as indicated in the instructions, there can be no negative reactions.
An overdose can occur in one case, if a person has taken too much Deacur. This happens mainly because of the desire to quickly achieve a certain effect. Nothing good comes out of this process and then you have to eliminate the consequences of such influence.
Naturally, many girls can start taking Deacur without consulting a doctor. What are the consequences? The fact is that brittle nails, hair and skin problems are not always caused by a biotin deficiency. Therefore, by deciding to take this remedy on your own, you can increase the content of the substance to the limit. After all, it can be present in the body in sufficient quantities. It is not for nothing that we constantly talk about consulting a doctor.
If overdose symptoms occur, you should do a gastric lavage and seek help from a medical institution. Taking Deacura on your own in high doses is prohibited!
Interactions with other drugs
Interactions of Deacur with other drugs are possible, but not in all cases. Thus, there is information that anticonvulsants can reduce the level of biotin in the blood. This means that the simultaneous use of these drugs is impossible. Nothing bad will come of it, but there will be no sense either. One drug will displace the other and it will turn out that a person simply takes two drugs for no reason, without receiving any positive effect.
Raw eggs can cause a decrease in biotin levels in the body. But this is only possible if a person eats them daily for 2-3 weeks. This process is possible only with raw eggs.
Pantothenic acid in high doses can compete with biotin. Therefore, it is not worth taking these two substances at the same time. This will not give any positive effect. In general, Deacura should be used independently, so that there is no need to deal with negative interactions with other substances.

Storage conditions
Storage conditions for Deakur are quite simple. The room temperature should not exceed 25 degrees. In the cold season, it is quite easy to achieve such a temperature regime. In the summer, you will have to try a little.
It is advisable to store the medicine in a first aid kit. It meets all the necessary conditions. Almost all drugs are afraid of dampness, direct sunlight and cold. In a first aid kit, all this is excluded by itself.
You can't put the product in the refrigerator. There's nothing wrong with that, but you still shouldn't freeze the product. Despite the fact that the product doesn't contain any dangerous substances, it's recommended to keep it away from children. They might try the pills and thereby provoke allergic reactions.
If a person stores the medicine correctly, it will serve him for many years. Naturally, not everyone pays attention to the basic requirements, but this must be observed. Otherwise, Deacura will not be able to serve for a long time.
[ 6 ]
Shelf life
The shelf life of the complex is 3 years. But in order for the drug to serve the specified period, certain rules must be followed. Temperature conditions play a big role. It should not exceed 25 degrees. Some medications require storage in the refrigerator. But in this case, it would be inappropriate.
Some people do not try to follow the storage rules. They leave medications near fires and high heat. This leads to the drug spoiling. Therefore, it is better to immediately free up space for it in the medicine cabinet.
A dark, dry place without direct sunlight will be the best condition. It is also worth monitoring the external characteristics of the drug. The packaging should not be subject to mechanical impact. This can lead to its damage and, as a consequence, the drug cannot be used.
It is desirable that children do not have access to the complex. Without realizing it, they can not only damage the packaging, but also take the tablets, thereby causing an allergic reaction. That is why Deacura must be stored in certain conditions, then it will last the specified 3 years.
