CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN HEPATOPROTECTORS (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Report deals with the characteristics of hepatoprotectors that are currently available at pharmaceutical market. Pharmacologic analysis of classic hepatoprotector agents such as essentiale, LIV-52 and comparative new native preparations (antral, thiotriazolin and other), which have, in fact, practically no negative effect on the organism, is represented. Hepatoprotector drugs registered in Ukraine are also represented. Alongside with the main hepatoprotector action some preparations have other pharmacologic effects due to which they may be used in other branches of medical practice (cardiology, nephrology, stomatology and others). In spite of the appearance of new hepatoprotectors the problem of innumerous preparation of this group is existing. It is a base for searching of new hepatoprotector agents of synthetic and plant origin.
