Glutargin is a salt of arginine and glutamic acid. In case of alcohol intoxication, it stimulates the utilization of alcohol in the monooxygenase system of the liver, prevents the inhibition of the key enzyme for ethanol utilization – alcohol dehydrogenase; accelerates the inactivation and excretion of toxic products of ethanol metabolism as a result of increased formation and oxidation of succinic acid; reduces the depressing effect of alcohol on the CNS due to the neurotransmitter properties of the excitatory glutamic acid. Due to these properties, Glutargin exhibits antitoxic and sobering effects.
