Effectiveness

How Videx Affects PatientsAlcohol damages cells by drying them out and breaking down their inner structure. This is why it works as an antibacterial and antifungal. If injected close to nerves, it can cause inflammation and nerve damage (neurolysis). Around 90-98% of the alcohol that enters the body is broken down. It can also be used to make drugs dissolve better and act as a sedative in medicine. Alcohol affects various brain receptors, such as GABA and NMDA, and is broken down by the liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.

How Videx works in the bodyEthanol affects the brain in several ways. It binds to receptors for acetylcholine, serotonin, GABA and glutamate, which changes their activity. It also binds to GABA and glycine receptors, giving it a sedative effect. Ethanol works as an anti-infective by disrupting the balance of water across cell membranes.
