Methyluracil is a drug that improves tissue trophism and stimulates the regeneration process.

This drug promotes the formation of leukocytes, the growth of tissues and epithelium, stimulates cellular and humoral recovery. Methyluracil has an anti-inflammatory and photoprojector effect on the affected areas.

Methyluracil is a stimulant of immunity and tissue regeneration. In various dosage forms (tablets, ointments, suppositories), it is produced by a number of domestic enterprises: Biochemist, Nizhpharm, Obnovlenie, Rosbio, Valenta Pharmaceuticals, Altayvitamins, Dalkhimpharm, Synthesis, etc. Stimulates the growth and reproduction of cells, acting as a repair agent and accelerating the recovery of damaged tissues. Promotes the fastest healing of wounds, erosive and ulcerative lesions, burns. Increases the body's resistance to the invasion of bacterial and viral agents. Normalizes protein metabolism, activates cell regeneration in the damaged area, accelerates tissue epithelization, strengthens cellular and humoral immunity. Shows anabolic activity. External forms have a photoprotective effect. A distinctive feature of the drug is its ability to stimulate hematopoiesis (to activate the formation of white and red blood cells in the bone marrow). In addition to this, methyluracil exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect, increases the body's tolerance to blood loss and hypoxia, and normalizes gastric secretion and acid-base balance gastric juice.

Methyluracil tablets contain the only active ingredient - dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimidine (methyluracil). In addition to regenerative properties, this substance has an anti-inflammatory effect and has a positive effect on the formation of leukocytes in the tissues of the bone marrow.

When taking Methyluracil tablets, an accelerated process of tissue regeneration is noted, caused by the normalization of nuclein metabolism, as well as the activation of the process of granulation and epithelialization in wounds. With such injuries to the skin, such as bedsores or diaper rash, healing occurs in a fairly short time. When used on postoperative sutures, it does not cause irritation and stimulates the formation of thinner and more accurate scars. A small number of side effects of Methyluracil and an average price make this drug the best choice for stimulating the immune system of the skin and mucous membranes.
