Pharmacodynamics

Ultraproject is a complex preparation. It has a local anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, it acts as an antipruritic and analgesic. Thus, the pharmacodynamics of Ultraproject consists of two main components: fluocortolone and cinchocaine.

The composition of Ultraproject includes esters of fluocortolone. Their main feature is a different molecular mass. In addition, the degree of dissolution in fats is also different. This allows you to reach the source of inflammation at different rates. This effect determines the rapid onset of relief, as well as its long-term therapeutic effect.

Fluocortolone is a topical glucocorticosteroid. Its action is directed to the removal of inflammation, itching and pain. In addition, the component performs anti-allergic action. These effects are characteristic of all glucocorticosteroids with local action. All this is achieved due to a number of changes that occur in the body under the influence of these hormones. 

Pharmacokinetics

The anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is achieved due to a significant decrease in enzyme activity. After all, they lead to the destruction of cells and tissues. So, pharmacokinetics is the action of the drug itself. Thanks to fluocortolone, the rate of synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and kinins decreases. In the body they play the role of mediators of inflammation.

Glucocorticosteroids lead to inhibition of lipid peroxidation, as well as the formation of free radicals in the heart of inflammation. This is how the anticosidant action manifests itself. There is a significant decrease in the permeability of the vascular wall, the amount of protein and water decreases. 

Antipruritic and antiallergic action is achieved due to glucocorticosteroids. They stabilize the walls of mast cells and reduce the release of histamine into the blood. With local use of the drug, microcirculation of tissues is significantly improved, and their puffiness decreases. Itching is reduced, regeneration is accelerated, healing is faster.

Another active ingredient Ultraproct is zincchocaine. He is classified as a local anesthetic. It leads to inhibition of generation, as well as conduction of nerve impulses. This is due to the normalization of the cellular membranes of the existing nerve fibers. This helps to block sensitive endings, as well as the inability to develop pain syndrome. Penetration into the blood from the remedy is low. When you get into the blood plasma, metabolism occurs in the liver, and is excreted by the kidneys.

Dosing and administration

Before applying suppositories, you need to take care of the hygiene of the anus. This will achieve maximum therapeutic effect. It is advisable to use the product immediately after defecation. Using Ultraprotect even in small doses leads to complete relief and even the disappearance of unpleasant symptoms. Despite this reception must continue.

Before use, you should thoroughly wash your hands, then squeeze out a small amount of ointment and rub your finger into the anus. If there is an urgent need, the product is applied directly to the anus. For these purposes, there is a special tip, which goes in combination with the tool itself. It is believed that the application of a finger is the most effective. If a person suffers from the presence of hemorrhoids, first you need to treat them with ointment, and then press them back.

Suppositories. In the form of suppositories Ultraproect is used once a day, preferably at night. On the first day, 2-3 suppositories can be used, for quick relief. You need to insert them as deep as possible. If the suppositories accidentally softened, they should be placed for a short time in cold water, to harden them.

Interactions with other drugs

This tool, has passed more than one clinical trial, as a result of which it was revealed that it can be used absolutely with any medications. The medication is not capable of oppressing the action of others. Despite this, it is better to interact with other drugs under the supervision of a doctor.

So, the simultaneous use of funds with the same composition and action can lead to increased influence on the body. This does not always affect favorably. So, such an effect can quickly alleviate a person's condition, but at the same time translate to side effects caused by an overdose.

Interaction refers to the use of a drug with other drugs that do not belong to this group. But if it is a question of means with similar actions, development of unpleasant by-effects is possible. Therefore, self-medication does not carry security. Moreover, self-administration of drugs in the wrong dosage can worsen a person's condition.
