The Russian pharmaceutical company that produces Zilt - "CRKA".The drug, found on the Russian pharmaceutical market, is also found in Slovenian production.
Pharmacological action of
- The active substance of Zilt interferes with the aggregation properties of platelets by inhibiting the binding of their receptor apparatus to adenosidiphosphate.
- The opposite, activating effect, is made on the formation of a glycoprotein complex. The duration of suppression of platelet aggregation under the influence of Zilt is lifelong for cells. Due to the short life cycle of platelets( 7-10 days), drug action ends with their deaths, the new dosage is only required during the formation of new platelets, when increasing the aggregation properties of platelets.
- The aggregation effect when taking the drug is different in patients due to the different individual enzymatic composition of the CYP 450 isoenzyme. The induced aggregation of blood platelets increases after admission to 5-7 days. Aggregation degree after taking 1 tablet reaches 50%( + - 10%).The initial parameters of bleeding and aggregation of blood platelets are returned 5 days after the drug is used.
The therapeutic effect of the drug is based on reducing the likelihood of complications after severe atherosclerotic vessels. The terminal, coronary and cerebral arteries affected by atherosclerosis are the most dangerous. Primary Pharmacodynamics
time at which the therapeutic effect is found when using 4 Zilta tablets is 120 minutes. The degree of aggregation reaches 40% at this time. Increasing the degree of aggregation to 60% is detected after a daily intake of 1 tablet of Zilt. For 10 days, the maximum degree of aggregation, corresponding to the life span of platelets, is found.
for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease are advised our readers drug "NORMALIFE".This is a natural remedy that affects the cause of the disease, completely preventing the risk of getting a heart attack or stroke.

The effectiveness and safety of the drug has been repeatedly proven by clinical studies and long-term therapeutic experience.
The opinion of doctors. .. & gt; & gt;
Zilt has the ability to have a low concentration in the free state, which confirms its high degree of bioavailability with high absorption capacity. Binding in the protein complex is 95-98%.
Pharmacokinetics
Metabolic disintegration of Zilt is done in the liver. Excretion of the intermediate compound of the half-life - the derivative of carbolic acid - is produced by the kidneys and intestines( approximately in equal parts).The metabolic product is found in the intestine after 5 hours after a single and multiple doses.
The half-life is 8 hours. The level of the derivative of carbolic acid during clearance in patients in the period of severe renal diseases is lower than during the course of diseases of moderate severity.
Indications
Zilt is indicated for use during prophylactic measures to reduce thrombus formation in individuals with occlusive pathology of terminal arteries, as well as after infarction and stroke crises.
Indications for the use of the drug are also atrial fibrillation in adult contingent patients and acute coronary syndrome. Therapeutic actions are combined with the intake of acetylsalicylic acid.

After ischemic strokes, the drug is taken by the "waiting method" after 7 days.
Reviews
