Powdered white mass is a means for inhalation from the category of the crococorticoids - Tafen novolayzer.

Pharmacodynamics

Inhalation drug Tafen novolayzer belongs to the category of synthetic glucocorticoid medicines with a powerful external anti-inflammatory property and insignificant systemic penetration. With inhalation through the mouth of the Tafen, the novolaser demonstrates an anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous tissues of the bronchi.

The active ingredient Tafen novolayzer - budesonide, - deactivates various cellular structures involved in the development of the inflammation reaction. Such structures include eosinophils, lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, etc. Among the additional actions of the medication, the inhibition of the release of mediators of the inflammatory process should be especially emphasized: this property allows us to restore the function of respiration and lower the excessive reactivity of the bronchi.

The use of the drug Tafen novolayzer in standard dosages is almost not accompanied by a resorptive effect. Tafen novolayzer does not differ in mineralocorticoid activity and is well perceived by patients (even with prolonged therapy).

Pharmacokinetics

The basic substance of Tafen novolayzer - budesonide, is a kind of epimeric mixing (epimer 22R and epimer 22S - 1: 1).

With the inhalation administration of the Tafen novolaser, about a quarter of the injected volume is found in the lungs. The rest of the drug settles in the tissues of the oral cavity, trachea and larynx, and also enters the digestive system.

The indicators of the total bioavailability of budesonide are small, since about 90% of the component found in the bloodstream is inactivated in the liver. The maximum possible serum amount can be achieved about half an hour after inhalation.

Tafen novolayzer easily subjected to distribution in the body and forms links with plasma albumin by 85%. The activity of glucocorticosteroids in the form of metabolites is less than 1% of the basic substance of Tafen novolayzer.

Metabolic products are excreted mainly through the system of renal filtration and intestines. The half-life can be from 2 to 3 hours, and in childhood - up to an hour and a half.

Interactions with other drugs

It is not advisable to conduct simultaneous treatment with Tafen novolaser and glucocorticoids of systemic value, as this increases the risk of developing undesirable side effects.

Preliminary inhalation of β ₂ -adrenomimetic drugs promotes the expansion of the bronchial lumen, facilitates the entry of the Tafen novolayzer into the respiratory system and enhances its effect.

Since the metabolic processes involving the active ingredient budesonide occur with the participation of cytochrome P ₄₅₀ -3A, it is recommended to guard against the simultaneous use of such drugs as ketoconazole, oleandomycin, cyclosporine or ethinyl estradiol: the combination of Tafen novolayzer with the listed medicines may lead to an increase in serum content of budesonide.
