[Classification of radiation protective agents as a basis of modern radiation pharmacology].

The consistency of the classification of prophylactic antiradiation drugs have been given consideration as history of their discovery, theory of the radioprotection mechanisms and their use in applied medicine. To prophylactic antiradiation drugs can be related to the drugs of having capable of decreasing radiation injuries burden while administrated before or immediately after radiation. The ones consists of radioprotectors with short-term of long-term action, drugs stimulating radioresistance, the ones suppressing symptoms of primary radiation reaction, the ones of early detoxication, the ones for absorbtion and elimination of radionuclides from an organism.
