Pharmacological Properties
Pharmacodynamics
Rovatineksa promotes the disintegration and removal of kidney stones and urinary tract stones. Borneol and terpenes are completely modified in the human body, after which they are excreted in the form of glucuronides by the kidneys. As a result, the solubility of calcium salts, which are the main components of kidney stones and urinary tract stones, increases. In experimental conditions, it was found that Rovatineksa also prevents the formation of stones.
The drug has a spasmolytic effect, stimulates the passage of stones through the urinary tract, reduces the intensity of pain during ureteral and renal colic, normalizes renal blood flow, which leads to an improvement in renal function and an increase in diuresis.
Rovatineksa has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial (against many gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms) effect, increases the content of colloids and glucuronic acid in the urine.

Individual components of the drug are well absorbed and metabolized in the liver (glucuronidation reaction) and excreted in bile and urine.
