Mechanism of action

Carsil Forte belongs to the group of hepatoprotective drugs. Contains dry extract of the fruits of milk thistle (equivalent of silymarin), which is a mixture of 4 isomers of flavonolignan: silibinin, iso-silibinin, silidianin and silicristin.

The mechanism of action of the drug is still insufficiently clarified. It has been established that the hepatoprotective effect of silymarin is due to competitive interaction with toxins on the corresponding receptors in the hepatocyte membrane, thus manifesting membrane stabilizing action.

Silymarin has metabolic and cell-regulating effects, regulating cell membrane permeability, inhibiting the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, especially LT.₄, as well as binding to free oxygen reactive radicals. Stimulates the synthesis of proteins (structural and functional) and phospholipids in affected hepatocytes, accelerating regenerative processes. The action of flavonoids, to which silymarin belongs, is also due to their antioxidant and microcirculation-improving effects.Clinically, these effects are expressed in the improvement of subjective and objective symptoms and in the normalization of indicators of the functional state of the liver (transaminases, γ-globulin, bilirubin). This leads to an improvement in the general condition, a decrease in complaints related to digestion, and in patients with reduced digestion due to liver disease, an increase in appetite and an increase in body weight.

Indications and usage

Others: it is rare to observe an increase in existing vestibular disorders.

Side effects are transient in nature and disappear after stopping the drug.

Drug Interactions

When combined use of silymarin with oral contraceptives and drugs that are used in hormone replacement therapy, it is possible to reduce the effects of the latter.

Silymarin can enhance the effects of drugs such as diazepam, alprazolam, Ketoconazole, lovastatin, vinblastine, due to its overwhelming effect on the cytochrome P 450 system.
