Pharmacodynamics

The drug is a potassium salt of orotic acid.

Orotic acid is one of the precursors of pyrimidine nucleotides, which are part of nucleic acids, which are involved in the synthesis of protein molecules, and therefore salts of orotic acid are considered as substances of anabolic action and are used for disorders of protein metabolism to stimulate them.

Potassium orotate stimulates the synthesis of nucleic acids, the production of albumin in the liver, especially in conditions of prolonged hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), increases appetite, has diuretic (diuretic) and regenerative properties.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, 10% of the dose taken orally is absorbed (absorbed) in the gastrointestinal tract.
