Ubretid belongs to the group of anticholinesterase agents, the active substance of the drug is distigmine bromide.
When taking ubretide, it is not recommended to control transport or other mechanisms, since the drug is able to influence the reaction rate.
Ubretyd is used no more than once a day, with a prolonged course of treatment, take a break (a day or two) to prevent cumulation of distigmine bromide.
Indications Ubretid
Indications for the use of ubretides are as follows:
- Postoperative weakening of intestinal muscle tone.
- Excessive accumulation of gases in the intestine.
- Paralytic intestinal obstruction (against the background of a decrease in the tone of myocyte intestines).
- Atonic constipation.
- Megacolon.
- Atony of the urinary tract.
- Violation of the sphincter of the bladder, as well as its hypotension.
- Rapid fatigue of cross striated muscles ( myasthenia gravis ).
- Peripheral muscle paralysis.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics ubretid: the effect of the drug comes in an hour and a half after use. Ubretid increases the peristalsis of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, the tone of the organs of the urinary system, skeletal muscle tissue, causes relaxation of smooth muscles in the walls of the blood vessels, slows the heart rate, moderately increases the functioning of the glands of external secretion.

Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics ubretid: after ingestion, it is metabolized by hydrolysis. It does not penetrate the hemato-encephalic barrier. Metabolites are removed with urine.

- Duodenal ulcer.
- Inflammatory processes in the large intestine.
- Inflammatory processes in the small intestine.
- Convulsive illness.
- Idiopathic cider of parkinsonism.
- Postoperative shock.
- Increased secretion of salivary glands.
- Decreased heart rate.
- Low blood pressure (hypotension).
- Chronic heart failure.
- Myocardial infarction.
- Increased thyroid hormone levels.
- Inflammation of the iris of the eyeball.
- Tonic muscle spasms (Thomsen's disease).
- Convulsions caused by impaired calcium metabolism.
- Bronchial asthma.
- Pregnancy.

- Occlusion disorders of peripheral circulation.
Side effects Ubretid
Side effects of ubretid can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal colic. Bronchospasm, increased secretion of salivary glands, increased motor activity of the stomach and intestines, a decrease in the heart rate, increased separation of sweat, muscle spasms, pupillary constriction, tremor, impaired swallowing, muscle twitching, myasthenia gravis, and dysmenorrhea are also side effects of the ubretside drug.
Overdose
An overdose of ubretid can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, spasm of the gastrointestinal tract, increased intestinal peristalsis, increased secretion of salivary glands, bronchospasm, reduced heart rate, narrowing of the pupil, myasthenia gravis, muscle twitching.
To neutralize the symptoms of an overdose subcutaneously or intravenously, 0, 5 - 1 mg of atropine is administered. With the development of the cholinergic crisis, it is necessary to find a patient in the hospital for care.
Shelf life
