Deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood is a preparation of biological origin, which is used in the complex treatment of metabolic disorders in the brain, diabetes and vascular pathologies. The basis of the hemoderivative is an extract from processed tissues and blood of dairy calves. The drug is recommended for use after consulting a doctor.
As a medicine, deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood is used in China, South Korea, as well as in Russia and the CIS countries. In the USA and Canada, dialysate from the blood of calves is included in the list of prohibited drugs, since the product has not been subjected to in-depth scientific research.
What is deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood?
Deproteinized hemoderivate is a highly concentrated extract of tissue and blood of dairy calves. In particular, the blood plasma of young healthy calves is used as the basis for the drug. During production using superfiltration and dialysis, protein is separated from the raw material, resulting in a rich whey containing many useful substances:
- glycoproteins;
- amino acids;
- nucleotides;
- oligopeptides.
The extract is also distinguished by a high concentration of low molecular weight bonds.
The prerequisite for the creation of a drug based on deproteinized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves was once stated that young dairy calves quickly recover after receiving minor wounds. Such rapid healing of the skin after burns and mechanical damage has attracted the interest of scientists from different countries, which has initiated a number of studies. Ultimately, a little-studied element was discovered in the blood plasma of calves that stimulates accelerated tissue regeneration. It is this that is the main active component of the deproteinized hemoderivative.
The effectiveness of medicine from the blood of calves
The effect of deproteinized dialysate from the blood of calves is due to the high content of low molecular weight substances. The chemical composition of the drug helps to activate metabolic processes in the human body, namely:
- stimulates the flow of oxygen into cells;
- accelerates glucose absorption;
- increases blood circulation.
According to official data, deproteinized dialysate from calf blood has the following effects on human health:
- optimizes energy-intensive tissue repair processes;
- normalizes the acid-base balance of the epidermis when applied externally;
- has an antihypoxic effect;
- stimulates the activity of oxidative phosphorylation enzymes;
- accelerates the metabolic processes of saturated phosphates;
- promotes accelerated breakdown of lactate and beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- increases tissue trophism;
- improves the conductivity of nerve endings.
Release forms
Currently, deproteinized hemoderivat of calves' blood is used for the manufacture of such drugs as Solcoseryl and Actovegin. They do not have full-fledged analogues, but are interchangeable with each other. The manufacturers of these drugs are pharmaceutical companies in Germany and Austria, which have been producing them since 1996.
Preparations based on dialysate from the blood of calves are produced in the following forms:
- pills;
- creams and ointments;
- eye gel;
- ampoules with a solution for internal injection (into muscle tissue, vein or artery);
- infusion solution.
Indications for use
Preparations based on calf blood dialysate are prescribed mainly for the healing of burns (solar, steam, acid, thermal), deep scratches, bruises, cuts and abrasions. At the same time, at the first stage of treatment, it is recommended to first use a gel to scar the damage, since it does not contain fat, after which ointment can be applied to the wound when it begins to dry out.
Also, the use of products based on deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood is indicated for:
- complex treatment of metabolic and vascular disorders of the brain (circulatory insufficiency of the brain and peripheral vessels, traumatic brain injury, consequences of damage to brain tissue, ischemic stroke, dementia, extensive cerebral bleeding);
- peripheral arterial and venous diseases and treatment of their consequences - trophic ulcers, angiopathy, weeping eczema;
- inflammation of the mucous membranes;
- diabetic polyneuropathy;
- prevention and treatment of bedsores in bedridden patients;
- pre-treatment of damaged surfaces before organ or tissue transplantation;
- dermatitis;
- dementia;
- damage to the cornea and sclera;
- the first signs of radiation sickness for the prevention and treatment of mucous membranes and skin after intense radiation exposure;
- endarteritis;
- psychosis;
- diabetic gangrene;
- apoplexy;
- vascular insufficiency with complications.
In addition, products based on deproteinized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves have a number of contraindications, namely:
- swelling of the lungs;
- decompensated heart failure;
- individual intolerance to the component;
- oliguria;
- fluid retention in the body;
- anuria.
The dosage of deproteinized calf blood dialysate is calculated individually depending on the severity and symptoms of the disease. Most often, doctors prescribe daily intravenous injections of the drug in a volume of 5 to 10 ml. The course of treatment with hemoderivative in the blood of calves is on average 1-1.5 months. Before administering a dialysate-based product intravenously, you should check for an allergic reaction. To do this, 1-2 ml of the drug is injected into the muscle tissue.
For burns and mechanical damage, an increased dose of the drug is recommended - from 10 to 20 ml intravenously every day until complete healing.
Side effects and contraindications
The scope of application of deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood is quite extensive, due to the fact that the basis of the drug is made up of natural biological components. On the other hand, this does not mean that blood dialysate-based drugs do not cause side effects.
External and internal use of Actovegin or Solcoseryl can cause the following reactions in the body:
- skin rash;
- skin hyperemia;
- hyperthermia up to anaphylactic shock;
- hives;
- slight swelling when applied externally;
- fever;
- intense headache;
- general weakness, lethargy, apathy;
- nausea, vomiting;
- pain in the heart area;
- cardiopalmus;
- stomach upset;
- increased sweating.
Separately, it is worth noting that after external use of calf blood dialysate in the form of gels and ointments, a slight burning and itching is often observed at the site of contact of the drug with the skin. Painful sensations disappear on average after 10-15 minutes and are not a symptom of individual intolerance to the drug. The use of hemoderivative in the blood of calves soon after drinking alcohol can provoke neutralization of the therapeutic effect.
Use in the world
Deproteinized hemoderivat of calves' blood is used for the production of such drugs as Actovegin and Solcoseryl. The majority of manufactured medicines come from the Russian market and CIS countries - about 60-70% of the total. The drug is also purchased in large quantities by China and South Korea.
In the USA, Canada and Western European countries, deproteinized calf blood dialysate is prohibited for sale. The ban was based on insufficient knowledge of the pharmacological properties of the drug.

Conclusion
Deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood is a drug with rather contradictory reviews. It is extremely popular in Russia, Asia and the CIS countries, however, the import of calf blood dialysate into Canada and the USA has been prohibited for many years. The biological nature of this drug makes it difficult to fully study all its properties, however, a number of effects on the human body have been scientifically proven. In particular, the hemoderivative of calf blood really promotes the healing of wounds and burns of various types.
Neither Actovegin nor Solcoseryl are prescribed as the main remedy for the treatment of any disease - these drugs are used as an integral element of therapy in complex treatment.
