Keltican: analogues in Russia, instructions for use of the complex.
" Keltican " is available in the form of capsules with a transparent structure, filled with small granules, primarily aimed at stimulating the process of regeneration of nerve tissue.
This has a positive effect on a person’s performance and improves well-being. Failure to follow the rules for taking capsules or using this drug in the presence of contraindications can lead to negative consequences, so you must carefully read the attached instructions.
How does Keltican work?
The active ingredients included in the Keltikan complex help the body quickly restore the activity of the peripheral nervous system by replenishing the lack of natural structural components and saturating the body with them from the outside. Peripheral neuropathy causes a lot of suffering and leads to a deterioration in the quality of life. This is not a disorder of one particular function, but a whole series of interrelated disorders. Neuropathic pain is characterized by a chronic course, usually combined with local loss of sensitivity, accompanied by trophic, vascular, and motor disorders. Treatment of neuralgia and neuropathy is long-term and involves taking numerous medications, which in most cases cause serious side effects. In addition, standard analgesics are often ineffective in relieving this type of pain.
Thanks to the inclusion of the dietary supplement Keltikan in the complex of basic therapeutic measures, the following positive results can be achieved:
- enrichment of blood with phosphate microelements necessary for the connection of simple blood monosaccharides with ceramides - signaling molecules and lipid components of the cell membrane, and the subsequent synthesis of sphingolipids (the basic component of cell membranes);
- regulation (balance of production and utilization) of protein and lipid biosynthesis, supply of necessary enzymes through their transport through the bloodstream directly into the cells of the nervous tissue, which accelerates the repair of affected nerves;
- stimulation of cell division, ensuring the metabolism of nucleic acids, inhibition of the beginning of destruction of nerve fibers, regeneration of membrane elements and the cylindrical process of neurons;
- thickening of the myelin layer covering the axons of neurons and a significant increase in the area of the neurite is observed after 60 days of use of the Keltican complex, an increase in the rate of cell signal transmission is observed 40 days after the start of Keltican administration (according to the results of a placebo-controlled trial);
- Relief of pain and restoration of impaired functions in degenerative joint diseases occurs within 3 weeks of regular use of the supplement. Studies have demonstrated a clear decrease in the intensity of pain, tingling, numbness, and the sensation of current passing through the body after 2 months of using the Keltican complex;
- reducing the need for concomitant medications - opioid analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Paracetamol, antidepressants. Many patients reduce the dose of NSAIDs by half.
Pharmacological properties.
The drug consists of nucleotides that are identical to esters synthesized in the human body and involved in many cellular processes; without them, the process of restoration of many nerve tissues is impossible.
When taking the drug "Keltican" the following complex of pharmacological effects is observed:
- Active substances take part in the formation of the myelin sheaths of neurons.
- Improving the condition of axon endings, which consists of reducing their fragility, as well as regenerating the damaged structure.
- Removing increased sensitivity from axon endings, which allows you to get rid of inflammatory processes affecting soft tissues.
- Enrichment of blood with chemical elements included in the phosphate group. This ensures a connection between blood monosaccharides and ceramines, which triggers the process of formation of new membranes on nerve endings.
The drug completely penetrates and is absorbed into the blood and is well tolerated by most patients, regardless of their age.
Side effects and overdose.
Compliance with the rules for using the medication will help avoid side effects.
But in some cases, even if the rules are followed, allergic reactions appear: urticaria, itching or Quincke's edema.
The components included in the medicine are not toxic, but when taking a large number of tablets, unwanted symptoms may appear:
- dizziness;
- impaired consciousness, fainting;
- bowel dysfunction in the form of diarrhea, most often repeated;
- allergic reactions (urticaria, skin itching, swelling, anaphylactic shock);
- pain in the upper abdomen with nausea and vomiting, which brings relief to the patient;
Indications for use.
A doctor may prescribe Keltican if the following indications exist:
- Shingles.
- Neuralgic lesions of the facial nerve.
- Inflammatory processes affecting the ganglion.
- Pathologies affecting the trigeminal and intercostal nerves.
- Infection of soft tissues, leading to the formation of foci of inflammation.
- Inflammatory processes affecting the plexuses of the anterior spinal nerves.
- Rehabilitation period after surgical operations on intervertebral discs.
- Disturbances in the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, accompanied by muscle pain.
Contraindications.
The Keltican complex can be used to prevent deficiency of B vitamins or in case of insufficiency of uridine monophosphate in the body. In the presence of damage to peripheral nerves, the supplement is used in conjunction with other medications.

Description
The Keltican complex includes phosphates of the nitrogenous pyrimidine bases Uridine and Cytidine, as well as auxiliary components and fillers.
A medicine with the same name is produced by Takeda (Japan). Release form: ampoules with lyophilized powder for the preparation of an injection solution. Each box contains three ampoules along with solvent.
The medicine is also produced at the enterprise of the Spanish company Ferrer Internacional. Contains the auxiliary component Mannitol.
It is not easy to buy this injection drug in Russia. Spanish manufacturers also produce oral capsules with different concentrations of active ingredients. They are approved for use by children over five years of age.
Keltican complex is produced in the form of a dietary supplement intended for parenteral use. The main active ingredients are nucleotide phosphates, which provide energy to damaged tissues.
The body is able to restore damaged nerve sheaths on its own. Rehabilitation is slow, so additional administration of stimulants promotes a speedy recovery. Phosphates of pyrimidine bases are macroenergetic compounds - carriers of energy necessary for the formation of nerve sheaths.
Analogs that replace Keltican complex, in particular Keltican Forte, contain B vitamins. Cyanocobalamin is a component of hemoglobin, and folic acid is necessary for the reproduction of red blood cells.
