Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) preparations, combinations. ATX code A11G B.

Ascocin is a combination drug that combines two drugs: water-soluble vitamin C – ascorbic acid and a trace element – zinc.

The mechanism of action of ascorbic acid.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as an antioxidant, metabolic agent and regulating redox processes increases the adaptive capacity of the body, increases its resistance to infections. Maintains the colloidal state of the intercellular substance and normal capillary permeability (inhibits hyaluronidase). Participates in the regulation of redox processes, in the metabolism of carbohydrates, aromatic amino acids, pigments and cholesterol, in the synthesis of steroid hormones, catecholamines, in blood coagulation. Enhances collagen synthesis, stimulates regeneration processes, normalizes capillary permeability. Due to the activation of respiratory enzymes in the liver, it enhances its detoxification and protein-forming function, increases the synthesis of collagen and prothrombin. Improves bile secretion restores external function of the pancreas. It inhibits the release and accelerates the degradation of histamine, inhibits the formation of prostaglandins and other mediators of inflammation and anaphylaxis. Regulates immunological reactions (activates the synthesis of antibodies, the C3 component of the complement system, interferon), promotes phagocytosis, increases the body’s resistance to infections. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect.

The mechanism of action of zinc.

Zinc is a structural component of biological membranes, cell receptors, proteins, and is part of more than 200 enzymatic systems. Participates in immune and antioxidant defense reactions, hematopoiesis, amino acid synthesis, in the preservation and transmission of genetic information. As a component of the retinol transport protein, zinc, together with vitamin A and vitamin C, prevents the occurrence of immunodeficiencies by stimulating the synthesis of antibodies and exerting an antiviral effect.

Zinc contributes to the growth and development of cells, the proper functioning of the immune system and the provision of an immunological response, twilight vision, taste and smell. Affects the maintenance of normal levels of vitamin A in the blood, increases the time of action of insulin and facilitates accumulation. In inflammatory conditions of the skin, it has a preventive and therapeutic effect.

Zinc deficiency leads to difficulty in concentration and memory, poor appetite and distorted taste, decreased cellular and humoral immunity, poor wound healing, night blindness, carbohydrate imbalance, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, mental and brain disorders, prostate hypertrophy, pregnancy disorders, growth inhibition and hypogonadism in children and in many ways – dermatological disorders (senile alopecia, alopecia areata, acne). In high doses, zinc inhibits copper absorption. Zinc deficiency also increases the absorption of toxic cadmium.
