Section: Pharmacodynamics

The drug Pikovит®, syrup for children, contains a complex of vitamins that are important factors in metabolic processes in the body.
Vitamin A is involved in the synthesis of various substances (proteins, lipids, mucopolysaccharides) and ensures the normal function of the skin, mucous membranes, and the organ of vision.
Vitamin D3 plays an important role in maintaining the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body. Its deficiency leads to a decrease in calcium content in bone tissue (osteoporosis).
Vitamin B1 normalizes heart activity and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Vitamin B2 promotes tissue regeneration processes, including skin cells.
Vitamin B6 helps maintain the structure and function of bones, teeth, and gums, influences erythropoiesis, and supports the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Vitamin B12 is involved in erythropoiesis and supports the normal functioning of the nervous system.
B vitamins are involved in the formation of various enzymes that regulate metabolism in the body.
Vitamin C is involved in the oxidation of a number of biologically active substances, regulation of metabolism in connective tissue, carbohydrate metabolism, blood coagulation, and tissue regeneration, stimulates the formation of steroid hormones, and normalizes capillary permeability. Vitamin C increases the body's resistance to infections and reduces inflammatory reactions.
Vitamin B3 and D-panthenol are coenzymes involved in protein metabolism, fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, energy production, and are necessary for the normal functioning of the central nervous system.
