Wessel Due F - ampoules (analogs may have a different composition) that contain a solution with pronounced anticoagulant properties. The drug belongs to the group of direct anticoagulants and is prescribed to patients who suffer from various diseases accompanied by the formation of blood clots.
The main substance in the medicine also has other properties, which helps to have a complex effect on the body:
- Improves the condition of the vascular wall, stimulates the restoration of the integrity of the internal vascular wall.
- Makes blood vessels more elastic, which helps prevent damage and the development of external and internal bleeding.
- Improves microcirculation by reducing blood viscosity and easing the load on the vascular walls.
- Facilitates the work of the heart by reducing the load on the myocardium. As a result, the patient’s condition significantly improves, and the progression of the condition stops when diagnosing heart failure and some other pathologies.
- Prevents the formation of blood clots in patients with thrombophlebitis, varicose veins and some other peripheral vascular diseases.
Experts note the ability of the drug to reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. As a result, the condition of blood vessels improves and the course of atherosclerosis is somewhat alleviated. With a mild form of the pathology, its progression stops.
After parenteral administration of the drug, rapid distribution of the ingredients of the composition through the systemic circulation is observed. The maximum concentration of the substance in the blood is detected after 30 minutes. The antithrombotic effect persists for 4 hours. The ingredient in the medicine does not accumulate in the blood or tissues; it is processed in the liver.
The elimination period takes no more than 6-8 hours. Pharmacokinetic features may differ in each case.
pharmachologic effect
Direct anticoagulant. The active ingredient is the natural component Sulodexide, isolated and extracted from the mucous membrane of the small intestine of pigs.
The active component consists of two glycosaminoglycans: dermatan sulfate and heparin-like fraction.
The drug has the following effects:
- angioprotective;
- anticoagulant;
- profibrinolytic;
- antithrombotic.
The anticoagulant effect is manifested due to the affinity of heparin for cofactor-2, under the influence of which the blood clot is inactivated.
The antithrombotic effect is ensured by an increase in the secretion and synthesis of prostacyclin, suppression of the active X factor, and a decrease in fibrinogen in the blood.
The profibrinolytic effect is achieved by reducing the level of tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor and increasing the level of the activator itself in the blood.
The angioprotective effect is associated with the restoration of adequate density of the minus electric charge of the pores in the vascular basement membranes. Additionally, the effect is ensured by restoring the integrity of vascular endothelial cells (functional and structural integrity).
Wessel Due F reduces triglyceride , normalizing blood rheological parameters. The active component is able to stimulate lipoprotease (a specific lipolytic enzyme), which hydrolyzes triglycerides, which are part of the “bad” cholesterol .
In diabetic nephropathy, the active substance Sulodexide reduces the production of extracellular matrix by suppressing the proliferation of mesangium cells; reduces the thickness of the basement membrane.
Description and composition
Sulodexide is used as the active component. This substance is extracted from the mucous membrane of the pig's small intestine and is therefore a natural product. It is a mixture of glycosaminoglycans. One of the well-known representatives of this group is heparin. Sulodexide predominantly contains a heparin-like fraction (80%) and dermatan sulfate (20%).
Briefly, the mechanism of blood clotting occurs as follows:
- When tissue is damaged, platelets are activated and transferred to the lesion. At the same time, the protein prothrombin is activated.
- The release of biologically active substances leads to vasoconstriction and functional ischemia. At this time, prothrombin is converted into thrombin.
- Thrombin helps convert a protein found in the blood plasma into an insoluble form (fibrin). It is this that forms the basis of the clot and thrombus, which tightly seals the site of injury and prevents bleeding.
Sulodexide has an affinity for cofactor II of heparin, as a result of which thrombin is inactivated and the subsequent chain of blood clot and thrombus formation is disrupted. In addition, sulodexide affects other coagulation factors and also reduces the concentration of protein in the blood plasma. Wessel DUE F has a positive effect on most stages of coagulation, maximally inhibiting this process. Due to the complex action, the anticoagulant activity of the drug is very high.
An additional advantage of the drug is the ability to restore the structure and function of vascular cells, increasing the density of their membranes.
In addition to the anticoagulant effect, Wessel DUE F improves the rheological properties of blood by reducing triglyceride levels.
Thus, the drug has the following pharmacological effects:
- Anticoagulant.
- Antithrombotic.
- Angioprotective.
- Profibrinolytic.
The high effectiveness of the drug is also due to the fact that 90% of the active substance enters the vascular endothelium. Here the concentration of sulodexide is 20 times higher than in other tissues.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The drug is metabolized in the renal system and liver. The active substance does not undergo desulfation, unlike low molecular weight forms of heparin and unfractionated heparin.
Desulfation suppresses antithrombotic activity and significantly accelerates the process of elimination from the body.
The active component is absorbed in the lumen of the small intestine. 90% of the active substance is absorbed by the vascular endothelium. 4 hours after admission, Sulodexide is excreted from the body through the renal system.
Release forms and composition of the drug
Wessel Due F for oral administration is produced in the form of soft gelatin capsules with a dark red color. The capsule contains a white suspension (a cream shade is possible). Capsules are packaged in transparent cellular plates of 20 and 25 pcs. The package contains 50, 60 and 100 capsules.
