Epiphamin – endocrine system bioregulator


Epiphamin is produced from the cattle and pig pineal gland. It is a nucleoprotein complex, which acts selectively on pineal cells promoting hormonal metabolism, immunity correction and blood coagulability system.

Clinical trials were conducted on 227 patients with chronic hormonal myocardiodystrophy, physiogenic asthenia, pronounced manifestations of female climacteric period, as well as cancer patients undergoing chemo- and radiotherapy. Control groups consisted of 156 similar patients who underwent standard treatment.

Epiphamin effectiveness was estimated on the basis of standard methods of investigation. There was evaluated the dynamics of patients complaints, as well as clinical blood and urine tests, blood biochemistry and ECG. With the aid of immunological methods there was estimated the amount and functional activity of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. The contents of hormones (FSG and LG) in the blood serum was registered by radioimmunological method. Correction test and that of Luescher were used for estimation of psychophysiological indices.

In the process of epiphamin treatment, the patients with hormonal myocardiodystrophy noted the improvement of subjective indices of the disease, i.e. less frequency of heart attacks, increased working capacity and normalization of psycho-emotional state. Positive ECG dynamics was marked, as well. The study of hormone level in the blood serum revealed the the decrease of FCG content as compared to the initial level in the absence of significant changes in LG and prolactin concentrations.

The conducted trials evidenced regulatory influence of epiphamin on disturbed hormonal balance permitting to normalize myocardial metabolism.

The results of physiogenic asthenia treatment showed high effectiveness of epiphamin in elimination of subjective neurological symptoms. Most pronounced therapeutic effect was traced in patients with cephalgic syndrome, signs of non-systemic dizziness, emotional lability, as well as in those complaining pronounced weakness, increased weariness and sleep disturbances. Stable after-effect was very vivid. Thus, in one month, such symptoms as dizziness, ear noises, general weakness, increased weariness, pelvic dysfunctions, sleep disturbances and cephalgies practically disappeared.

Less pronounced but distinct dynamics was registered with respect to the number of objective neurological indices closely connected with central regulation of vegetative functions. Epiphamin produced smoothing effect on pseudobulbary symptoms. In the process of epiphamin administration, white stable dermographism became weaker. Focal symptoms became more even, as well, in the period of treatment accompanied by long-term after-effects.

Thus, epiphamin application seems to be prospective in treatment of physiogenic asthenias, including those, accompanied by psycho-vegetative disturbances.

Epiphamin was given to a number of cancer patients, largely with hormone-dependant tumors (breast and cervical cancers, as well as other sites).

All patients revealed steady leukopenia and lymphocytopenia (during 6 months – 1,5 year) after chemo- and/or radiotherapy. Epiphamin was applied for stimulation of immuno- and hemopoiesis in order to prepare patients for subsequent complex of treatment.

The majority of patients were examined prior to, immediately after and in 20-30 days after epithalamin application for the amount of leukocytes in the peripheral blood and T- and B- immunity systems indices.

The patients with initially steady decreased blood level of leukocytes revealed significant increase of the total amount of lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes following epiphamin treatment, as well as the improvement of T-cell functional activity. The patients marked muscular tension increase and appetite improvement.

Epithalamin intake by cancer patients subject to radio- and chemotherapy permits to improve general state of the organism, hematological and immunological blood indices preventing development of infectious and other complications.

Epiphamin is recommended for normalization of hormone metabolism, regulation of immunity and blood coagulability system in different forms of their disturbances, including states caused by radio- and chemotherapy. It is also recommended to the elderly for maintaining endocrine system functions.

No side effects have been registered.

It should be stored in a dry cool light protected place.
