The invention relates to medicine and can be used for developing agents and methods to be used in toxicological practice and by population at home for preventing and reducing risks of dangerous diseases such as intoxication by alcohol substitutes and toxic components of alcoholic beverages. The invention is based on the use of known chemical compounds in the form of vicinal dithioglycoles. They are used for new purposes, namely for developing medicinal agents, the properties of which make it possible to prevent, treat or reduce speed of pathological processes generated by alcohol substitute intoxication. The inventive agents reduce or block the pharmacological effects of alcohols and the derivatives thereof, i.e. produce a direct effect on pathogenetic mechanisms of intoxication development. Said agents are most efficient when perorally administered. Experimental data items proving that the inventive agents and the preventing method, which consists in taking the agents before and after drinking low-quality alcohol-containing beverages and alcohol substitutes, can be widely used in future are also disclosed. The use of the invention makes it possible to reduce the number of intoxication cases produced by substitutes, to decrease the severity of intoxication and the toxic effect of alcoholic beverages consumed at home. |
