Pharmacodynamics
Vaginorm C is an antiseptic drug. The active substance is vitamin C, which promotes active tissue restoration, the establishment of metabolic processes between carbohydrates, oxidation and reduction reactions, and effectively thins the blood. Vitamin C increases the resistance of organs and systems to the effects of pathogenic microbes and viral strains, reduces the permeability of vascular walls, and reduces a person's need for certain vitamins.
Vitamin C is involved in the metabolism of substances such as tyrosine, folic acid, phenylalanine, histamine, iron, and is involved in the production of collagen, fats and proteins, carnitine, and the utilization of carbohydrates.
Vitamin C ensures the passage of immune reactions, hydroxylation of the hormone serotonin, and also enhances the absorption of iron.
The antioxidant and antiaggregatory properties of the drug are known. The active substance accelerates the production of interferon and antibodies, the activity of phagocytes, suppresses the formation of prostaglandins and other mediators of the inflammatory process.
Thanks to the drug, the vaginal environment changes, the development of pathogenic microbes is suppressed, and normal vaginal microflora is maintained.
