blood circulation, causes vasodilation at the level of arterioles, precapillary sphincters, muscle arteries. Intracavernous administration relaxes the smooth muscles of cavernous bodies, which helps to increase blood flow and improve microcirculation in them.

Improves the rheological properties of blood, helping to increase the elasticity of red blood cells, has an effect on hemocoagulation, decreasing the adhesion and aggregation of platelets. It has a fibrinolytic effect. It has an anti-atherogenic effect, slowing down the activation of neutrophils, excessive proliferation of vascular wall cells.

Reduces total peripheral vascular resistance, blood pressure, reflexively increases the heart rate, which leads to an increase in cardiac output. Stimulates smooth muscles of the intestines, bladder and uterus, inhibits the secretion of gastric juice.

From the hemopoietic system: leukopenia, leukocytosis.

Allergic reactions: hives.

Other: increased sweating, body hyperthermia, increased titer of C-reactive protein with a long course of treatment (from 4 or more weeks) - hematuria tubular bones hyperostosis.

Local reactions: swelling of the extremity, into the vein of which an infusion is carried out.

In newborns:

From the side of the central nervous system: increased irritability, cramps, drowsiness.

From the digestive system: peritoneal symptoms, hyperbilirubinemia, diarrhea.

From the cardiovascular system: arterial hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, shock, acute heart failure, heart rhythm disturbances, AV block.

From the respiratory system: respiratory depression (up to apnea), decreased respiratory function (bradypnea, tachypnea).

From the hematopoietic system: DIC, bleeding, thrombocytopenia, anemia.

Allergic reactions: skin rash, tachyphylaxis.

Other: hyper- or hypothermia of the skin, hyperemia of the skin, hypo- or hyperglycemia, hypertonicity of the neck muscles, hypercapnia. With prolonged therapy (for several weeks), the appearance of hyperostosis in the bones of the lower extremities is possible.

With the development of side effects, it is recommended to reduce the dose of the drug.
