Myocardial infarction, strokes, thrombosis are pathological conditions that claim millions of lives every year. Therefore, doctors pay great attention to preventing the development of cardiovascular diseases and preventing the formation of blood clots.

One of the well-known drugs that copes with the assigned tasks perfectly is Cardiomagnyl. However, like most pharmacological products, this drug has not only advantages, but also its disadvantages. The active component of the drug is acetylsalicylic acid, which, when taken for a long time, negatively affects the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

In this regard, the question of what can replace cardiomagnyl for blood thinning becomes relevant for many.

What can cause blood to thicken?

Scientists have found that blood viscosity occurs due to lack of fluid or indigestion. That is why it is worth drawing your own conclusions. That is, try to drink up to 2.5 liters of water daily. You also need to be able to choose it. If you choose the wrong water, absorption may not occur. Many people like to drink carbonated drinks or tap water, but this should never be done. What other reasons could there be for blood viscosity? These include:

• increased functionality of the spleen, which leads to the destruction of various organs and systems;
• acidification and slagging of the body;
• complete dehydration, which is a consequence of diarrhea and prolonged exposure to the sun;
• eating a lot of sweets;
• small amounts of vitamins and minerals consumed;
• incorrectly composed diet;
• There is no salt in the food.

Blood may thicken due to the region of residence. It has long been proven that an unfavorable environment has an impact on the condition of the body. It is very important to know which drugs have a thinning effect. But before you know it, you need to find out the signs of blood viscosity so that you can properly diagnose yourself and take action.

Cheap analogues

Having studied the table, it becomes clear that the product has quite a lot of analogues that have an acceptable cost. In particular, this table contains the names of several drugs that are slightly cheaper. But they also included those medications that have a high price. Let's take a closer look at the analogues of the drug Cardiomagnyl, sold in Russia, so that you have an idea about these drugs.

ASK-Cardio

The production of this medication is carried out by a Russian pharmaceutical company. It is usually prescribed to people who are at risk as a prevention of heart attack and stroke. In addition, this medication is prescribed to people to prevent blood clots.

The product has certain contraindications. It is not prescribed to people who suffer from diseases such as:

• asthma;
• stomach ulcer;
• duodenal ulcer.

The product is also prohibited for pregnant and nursing mothers. It is also never prescribed to children or patients who have been diagnosed with kidney or liver disease. Such restrictions are caused by a fairly long list of adverse effects. These actions can negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys. That is why the medicine is prohibited for people with diseases of these organs.

Cost: 68-70 rub.

Asparkam

Starting to consider analogues of Cardiomagnyl, it is necessary to mention Asparkam. The active ingredients are magnesium aspartate and potassium aspartate. This drug is able to regulate metabolic processes. It is customary to include it as part of complementary therapy. Such therapy is required for people with chronic heart disease. It is prescribed to patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmias.

Contraindications to the use of the product are diseases such as:

• renal failure;
• anuria;
• oliguria;
• hyperpotassium or hypermagnesemia;
• blockade of varying degrees.

Pregnant women, as well as children under 18 years of age, should take the medicine with great caution and only on the recommendation of a doctor.

Price: 40-60 rub.

Acecardole

The third analogue of Cardiomagnyl is Acecardol, which contains acetylsalicylic acid. It is popular among patients because it belongs to the category of cheap products. Please note that this is also a Russian analogue, not a foreign one.

The medicine is used to prevent recurrent heart attacks, as well as for hypertension and to prevent disruption of blood supply to the brain. Quite often, doctors prescribe the drug to people who have recently undergone serious vascular surgery. There is also a practice of prescribing the drug to people suffering from different degrees of obesity.

Price: 20-30 rub.

Cardiask

The main active ingredient is acetylsalicylic acid. It has a wider spectrum of action and therefore can be used as an antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory agent. Consequently, it may well become a replacement for classical medications that are designed to reduce body temperature. It can also be used as a pain reliever.

The drug is used as a preventive measure not only for heart attack, but also for stroke. Moreover, the medicine is indicated for people with diseases such as angina and thrombosis. Since the product contains many additional components, it cannot be used for peptic ulcers, as well as for kidney and liver diseases. Contraindicated for pregnant women.

Cost: 70-90 rub.

Clopidogrel

This is another substitute for Cardiomagnyl. Several domestic companies are involved in the production of this drug. The drug belongs to the category of antiplatelet drugs. But it is also used to inhibit platelet aggregation and is prescribed for thrombotic complications.

The product has no special contraindications. But, nevertheless, it is not prescribed to patients with liver damage or bleeding. Avoid use if a person is sensitive to certain components of the product. The drug is never prescribed to pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as children, due to the risk of a large number of negative effects.

Price: 250-400 rub.

Lopirel

The main active ingredient is clopidogrel. This component can prevent the appearance of atherothrombosis. Doctors believe that this remedy is very effective and efficient, since it has a powerful, prolonged effect. It is usually prescribed for any changes in the arteries.

This medication should not be prescribed to people who have been diagnosed with liver disease, lactose intolerance or deficiency. Sensitivity to the components of the drug is also a contraindication.

Price: 350-600 rub.

Magnicor

In addition to acetylsalicylic acid, this preparation contains magnesium salts. This drug is usually classified as a category that includes broad-spectrum drugs. Because it reduces pain, stops the inflammatory process, and reduces temperature. Moreover, it also has an antiplatelet effect.

Side effects from taking the medicine are extremely rare and most often they are expressed by malfunctions of the digestive system. After discontinuing the drug or reducing the dosage, all side effects cease to appear.

Cost: 70-80 rub.

Pradaxa

This is a high-quality German analogue, which has a fairly high cost. The main active ingredient is dabigatran etexilate. It can significantly reduce the activity of those blood clots that have already formed. And therefore, the indication for using the drug is precisely the presence of blood clots. It can also be used as a preventive measure.

It is strictly forbidden to use the product if you have liver and kidney diseases, if there is a risk of severe bleeding. The side effects of the drug are extremely dangerous (anemia, bleeding from the digestive tract). And therefore it is used with caution.

Cost: 1800-2700 rub.

Thrombo ACC

This is a non-steroidal drug. It is used to reduce platelet aggregation. With its help, it is possible to relieve severe pain and stop the inflammatory process. The main component is acetylsalicylic acid.

Its indications and contraindications are similar to most of the drugs described above. It is worth mentioning separately that it can cause such a side effect as abdominal pain. If such a symptom occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

Price: 110-170 rub.

Thrombopol

Polish analogue, which is usually included in preventive therapy because it has a high preventive ability. It is indicated for people who are prone to developing diseases such as stroke and heart attack. Quite often it is prescribed for people who have problems with the vascular system and blood circulation.

This remedy is never prescribed to children. Since there is a high risk of developing side effects, among which the most common are:

• nausea;
• vomit;
• heartburn;
• hives;
• edema.

Rarely, but still occurs, such a negative effect as a disorder of hematopoiesis.

Price tag: 40-50 rub.

How can you tell if your body has viscous blood?

It is possible to determine whether your blood is thick or not only in special laboratories. But for this you have to pass certain tests. But even without this, a person can determine the viscosity of blood by certain signs.

These include:

• fatigue;
• irritability;
• drowsiness;
• bad memory.

Many people do not take these symptoms seriously, thinking that it is just fatigue. To make a conclusion and make a correct diagnosis, it is still worth undergoing an examination. This will help you find out about the level of blood viscosity. Many people would like to know which blood thinner? But all of the above symptoms cannot fully become a signal for the use of blood thinning medications. You should definitely consult your doctor.

Cardiomagnyl analogues are cheaper

Cardiomagnyl, of course, is not the only drug that thins the blood. It has analogues. Moreover, both imported and Russian.

A drug similar to cardiomagnyl, but ThromboAss has broader indications for use. In particular, among the indications is the prevention of stroke, which cardiomagnyl does not have. ThromboAss is convenient to take due to the optimal dosage - 50 mg and 100 mg of acetylsalicylic acid, which is calculated based on the average dose of 100 mg. A significant advantage of the drug ThromboAss is the presence of an enteric coating, which reliably protects the stomach from the direct irritating effect of acetylsalicylic acid, which means that there will be no side effects such as heartburn, heaviness in the stomach, nausea and vomiting, not to mention stomach ulcers. Another important point is the European quality of TromboAss. The drug is produced in Austria, unlike Cardiomagnyl, which is produced in Yaroslavl. At the same time, TromboAss has an affordable price, which is half the price of its domestic analogue. ThromboAss has been on the shelves of Russian pharmacies for a long time and has won the well-deserved trust of doctors and patients. Over the long history of the use of TromboAss in Russia, there has not been a single case of defect detection, in contrast to Cardiomagnyl, in which only last year 32 series of the drug were recalled from the market as poor quality due to manufacturing defects.

Thrombo ACC:

Price: 137 rub. for 100 tablets

Analogue of cardiomagnetic. The active ingredient is also acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Acecardol is prescribed to thin the blood and has the same indications as cardiomagnyl. One tablet contains either 50 mg, 100 mg, or 300 mg of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Acecardol is a Russian drug.

Acecardole:

Price: 58 rub. for 30 tablets

It can also replace cardiomagnyl. This analogue contains 75 mg or 150 mg of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) in 1 tablet. Polocard has indications for use similar to those of cardiomagnyl. Polocard is produced in Russia.

Polocard:

Price: 104 rub. for 50 tablets

An analogue of cardiomagnyl, it contains acetylsalicylic acid. 1 tablet contains 100 mg of aspirin. Aspirin Cardio can reduce platelet aggregation and thin the blood. Just like TromboAss, the tablets are enteric-coated.

Aspirin Cardio:

Price: 131 rub. for 28 tablets

Clopidogrel. This drug reduces platelet aggregation, but does not contain aspirin. Its active ingredient is clopidogrel hydrosulfite. Therefore, take this drug for the purpose of thinning the blood, i.e. to prevent thrombosis, it is necessary only with acetylsalicylic acid.

It cannot be said in full that this is an analogue of cardiomagnyl. The drug lopirel is identical to clopidogrel, the active substance of which is also clopidogrel hydrosulfite. When taking lopirel, a combination with aspirin is possible. Lopirel and clopidogrel are prescribed to prevent vascular complications in unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. They will not be able to replace cardiomagnyl, but they can cause harm if self-prescribed, without consulting a doctor.

Xarelto. Cannot be considered an analogue of cardiomagnyl. Its active substance is rivaroxaban. Xarelto is used to prevent thromboembolism and stroke. Moreover, Xarelto is not recommended to be taken together with NSAIDs, which include acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

Warfarin. The active ingredient is warfarin sodium. Despite the fact that warfarin is used to treat thrombosis and thromboembolism, it cannot replace cardiomagnyl. It is possible to use warfarin with aspirin, but under strict supervision and only as prescribed by a doctor, because simultaneous use of cardiomagnyl and warfarin may increase bleeding.

Chimes. This is a drug that dilates and protects blood vessels, is indicated for angina pectoris, and has an antithrombotic effect. Its active ingredient is dipyridamole. Curantil is prescribed for the treatment of coronary artery disease, stable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, widespread atherosclerosis, etc. The drug Curantil can be prescribed for intolerance to acetylsalicylic acid, but for it to be of benefit, this should only be done by a doctor.

The drugs Panangin and Asparkam can in no way replace cardiomagnyl and its analogues. Both asparkam and panangin contain only potassium and magnesium. The task of these drugs is to regulate metabolic processes. Neither panangin nor asparkam have an antiplatelet effect and cannot be used to thin the blood. If you try to take them yourself with an increased platelet count, you can cause irreparable harm to your health.

Cardiomagnyl: briefly about the drug.

Cardiovascular diseases are not uncommon in our age. To prevent and treat myocardial infarction, hypertension, blood clots and other dangerous diseases, the doctor will prescribe a drug that will thin the blood. Cardiomagnyl will be such a medicine.

Cardiomagnyl are tablets that have found successful application in cardiology and neurology. They contain two healing components: magnesium hydroxide and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

Magnesium hydroxide is perfectly absorbed in the wall of our intestines and protects it from the influence of aspirin. Hydroxide also has an antacid effect (reduces the acidity of gastric juice).

Cardiomagnyl is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The drug has antiplatelet properties and is used to prevent the occurrence of thrombosis and heart attacks in patients suffering from diseases of the heart and vascular system.

The main substance of the drug Cardiomagnyl is acetylsalicylic acid. This component has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Small dosages of acetylsalicylic acid prevent the development of blood clots. Magnesium hydroxide, which is part of the drug, protects the mucous membranes of the digestive tract from the effects of the main active ingredient.

In the article we will look at the instructions and analogues of Cardiomagnyl.

It is a drug prescribed for the treatment and prevention of pathologies of the cardiovascular system. While taking the drug, the risk of blockage of blood vessels by glued platelets, which can lead to serious complications, is reduced.

The main active ingredients of Cardiomagnyl are:

1. Magnesium hydroxide.
2. Molecules of acetylsalicylic acid.

In addition, the composition of the drug is supplemented with auxiliary components, namely talc, hypromellose, potato starch, propylene glycol, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose fibers.

Release form

The drug is produced in the form of tablets in a white shell, which protects the active substances from the harmful effects of the aggressive gastric environment.

The tablets are produced in the shape of a heart, which helps not to confuse them with other medications. Tablets are packaged in packs of 30 and 100 pieces. Cardiomagnyl is available with a doctor's prescription.

This is indicated in the instructions for Cardiomagnyl. Reviews and analogues are presented below.

"Cardiomagnyl" is prescribed for the following indications:

1. Unstable severity of angina. In this case, the tablets allow you to restore normal functioning of the heart muscle.
2. Prevention of thromboembolism. "Cardiomagnyl" is often prescribed to patients in the postoperative period. As a rule, we are talking about surgical intervention in the walls of blood vessels. The drug reduces the risk of blood clots after coronary artery bypass surgery and angioplasty.
3. Prevention of recurrence of myocardial infarction. You will need to take pills regularly to prevent vascular thrombosis and the development of myocardial infarction.
4. Primary prevention of heart disease. Taking the pills on a regular basis will significantly reduce the risk of developing acute heart failure, as well as blood clots. This prescription is especially relevant for elderly patients, as well as people with excess body weight, smokers and hypertensive patients.

Another area of ​​application for Cardiomagnyl and analogues is diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.

Contraindications

1. Hemorrhage in the central nervous system, namely in the brain.

2. Bleeding in the stomach or intestines.

3. Predisposition to bleeding caused by vitamin K deficiency, thrombocytopenia or hemorrhagic diathesis.

4. Erosion and ulcers in the digestive tract, which are characterized by the likelihood of bleeding.

5. Lack of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

6. Simultaneous use with methotrexate.

7. The patient’s age is under 18 years.

8. First and third trimester of pregnancy and lactation period.

9. Severe kidney failure.

10. Bronchial asthma.

11. Susceptibility to acetylsalicylic acid, leading to an allergic reaction.

1. Digestive system: heartburn, nausea and vomiting, pain in the stomach, ulcers and erosion of the digestive tract, bleeding. Rarely, rupture of the stomach or intestines, colitis, etc. occurs.

2. Nervous system: headache, drowsiness, dizziness, tinnitus.

3. Respiratory system: bronchospasm.

4. Hematopoiesis: anemia, bleeding, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.

5. Allergies: Quincke's edema, anaphylactic shock.

The appearance of such signs is a reason to stop taking the drug.

Content

What danger does blood viscosity bring?

Some people simply cannot live without water, and some do not drink it at all. And none of them realizes that a violation of fluid intake can lead to serious consequences. In some cases, the blood simply thickens. Why is condensation dangerous?

• Firstly, varicose veins.
• Secondly, a steady increase in pressure.
• Thirdly, atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
• And finally, stroke and heart attack.

All this in its advanced form leads to disability and even death.

How to take Cardiomagnyl

It is recommended to take the tablets with clean water and swallow them whole. Sometimes swallowing may be difficult. In such cases, it is allowed to take the drug in powder form. The tablet may be broken lengthwise.

Dosage

The dosage of Cardiomagnyl is determined by the doctor after the examination. A history of chronic pathologies and the presence of regularly taken medications are essential. The prescribed dosage depends on the main indications for use, which are presented in the table.

Attention! The dosage is selected by the attending cardiologist in each individual case. Cardiomagnyl 75 mg is often prescribed.

Recommendations for use

The medicine is used for preventive and therapeutic purposes in pathologies of the heart and blood vessels. The benefit of using tablets in small dosages is to reduce the risk of disease by 25%, which is especially important for elderly patients. Cardiomagnyl is beneficial for atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, and a family history.

We recommend reading: Snoozing: benefits and harm to health

Acetylsalicylic acid is considered as a factor in the occurrence of bronchospasm. The substance may be harmful to people with a history of allergies and asthma. Blood clotting worsens while taking it, which causes bleeding during surgery.

The benefit of Cardiomagnyl is expressed in the absence of an effect on concentration. The medicine can be taken by people working in enterprises and transport managers.

Warning! The use of the drug is undesirable in men and women under 40 and 50 years of age, respectively. The likelihood of heart attacks in people of this age category is at the lower limit. The harm of regular use involves provoking bleeding.

The benefits and harms of Cardiomagnyl tablets depend on the gender of the patients. According to the results of studies, taking the medicine in men prevents heart attack, but not stroke. In women under 65 years of age, the risk of stroke is reduced, but the risk of heart attack is not. After a woman reaches the specified age, the benefit of Cardiomagnyl also lies in the prevention of heart attack.

How to get rid of thick blood?

You can get rid of thick blood using different methods.
Experts even advise combining some methods. It is necessary to thin the blood:

• by adjusting your diet;
• taking medications;
• traditional methods;
• using leeches.

Try not to take any action regarding blood thinning without consulting a specialist. The main thing here is not to overdo it, otherwise the blood will become liquid, which will further worsen the process.

Viscous blood is dangerous for our body

With age, various irreversible changes occur in the body of every person. Internal organs and systems are disrupted due to a large accumulation of harmful toxins and waste. It is by blood that you can understand the state of your health. After some research, it will be possible to make a correct diagnosis.

If the blood in the body becomes less than normal, it will gradually thicken. Such actions lead to a number of problems, for example:

1. to drowsiness;
2. severe fatigue;
3. thrombophlebitis may appear;
4. to the appearance of varicose veins;
5. to disorders in the cardiovascular system.

Almost everyone over 50 experiences health problems. Thick blood is not always the cause. But it could play an important role in the deterioration of the general condition.

You can determine the decrease in blood levels yourself. This can be determined by the following signs:

• memory impairment;
• fatigue;
• irritability.

You may not even need medications. Taking blood thinners is usually sufficient. Try to avoid this situation, so avoid the following:

• slagging;
• consuming large amounts of sugar and foods high in carbohydrates;
• insufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals;
• dehydration of the body.

Blood viscosity is determined in the laboratory according to indications. People usually start taking blood thinners after age 40. Cardiomagnyl is one of the effective medications used to prevent blood clots. This product has a number of contraindications, so read the instructions before using it.

What is Cardiomagnyl used for?

Cardiomagnyl has an apparent anti-inflammatory effect due to the irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 by blocking and acetylating the production of thromboxane A2. Thus, the aggregation of platelet cell elements in the blood is inhibited. This leads to the prevention of blood clots.

The benefit of Cardiomagnyl is to prevent severe complications associated with the cardiovascular system. The medicine has been used in cardiology practice for a long time. Harm may occur in exceptional cases, for example, if the recommended dosage is exceeded.

Important! Taking Cardiomagnyl is necessary for groups of patients with a history of pathological conditions of the heart and blood vessels.

What are the best medications for blood thinning?

Some medications can prevent blood clots and improve blood composition. Many of them have a number of contraindications that should be learned before they start working. Cardiomagnyl is often advertised on TV. It is capable of thinning the blood. The product contains acetylsalicylic acid and magnesium hydroxide. The first component allows you to change the level of blood viscosity, and the second reduces the efficiency of the active substance in the stomach. How to take Cardiomagnyl? After all, this remedy is considered the best for thinning the blood. This medicine must be prescribed by a doctor. No preventive measures are allowed.

Cardiomagnyl is usually prescribed:

1. with frequent increases in pressure;
2. for thrombosis and atherosclerosis;
3. for diabetes mellitus;
4. with angina pectoris;
5. increased levels of cholesterol in the blood.

Many have already tried Cardiomagnyl on themselves and were satisfied. This drug is considered an excellent tool for preventive measures against blood clots. Acetyl acid can reduce blood viscosity and the risk of heart disease, and magnesium hydroxide softens the work of the first substance. Cardiomagnyl can be taken in any form.

Effect on pressure

Cardiomagnyl does not reduce, but does not increase blood pressure. The action of the drug is aimed at preventing the formation of blood clots, preventing strokes and heart attacks.

However, the medicine is often prescribed for hypertension. This is due to the fact that with high pressure, the blood becomes viscous, moves poorly through the vessels, the load on the heart muscle increases, and the risk of blood clots increases.

Taking Cardiomagnyl has a beneficial effect on blood composition and low blood pressure, strengthens the heart muscle, and prevents the development of complications. Used as adjunctive therapy.

Indications and contraindications for the use of Cardiomagnyl

• Preventive measures for heart disease. These include thrombosis and heart failure in the presence of diabetes mellitus and blood pressure.
• Preventive measures of the second analysis of infarction.
• Prevention after vascular surgery.

Like any other product, Cardiomagnyl has its contraindications for use. These include:

1. cerebral hemorrhage;
2. bleeding due to lack of vitamin K;
3. bronchial asthma;
4. stomach ulcer in the acute stage;
5. bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract;
6. kidney disease;
7. 1st and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy;
8. lactation period;
9. children under 18 years of age.

Indications

The attending physician prescribes Cardiomagnyl after diagnosing the following pathologies in the patient:

• history of myocardial infarction;
• conditions that precede a heart attack;
• unstable angina;
• for prophylactic purposes during vascular angioplasty;
• cerebrovascular diseases;
• thrombi and emboli in arteries and veins.

Cardiomagnyl, in addition, is used to prevent myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. It is applicable for the prevention of coronary heart disease in patients with a history of the following predisposing factors:

• excess body weight;
• diabetes;
• hypertonic disease;
• persistent craving for alcoholic beverages and nicotine-containing products.

With extreme caution and under the supervision of a cardiologist, the drug is prescribed for malignant hypertension, namely, when blood pressure levels constantly exceed the threshold of 180/120 mm. rt. Art. In such a critical condition, it is very important to avoid bleeding and hemorrhage, because thrombocytosis decreases while taking the drug.

Directions for use and side effects

The medicine is produced in the form of tablets. They will need to be swallowed and washed down with water. If necessary, the tablet can be divided into two halves or crushed. But the use of Cardiomagnyl in some cases can lead to pronounced side effects. This mainly manifests itself in the appearance of allergies.

Most often, urticaria can be observed; sometimes an anaphylactic reaction occurs. Heartburn, nausea and even vomiting also appear. The patient may feel pain in the abdominal area. Side effects include stomach and duodenal ulcers.

Cardiomagnyl is available in the form of tablets coated with a white film coating in the shape of a heart. Acetyl acid, which is part of the drug, has an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. And magnesium hydroxide is able to protect the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract from the direct effects of acetyl acid.

After taking the drug, acetyl acid is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract almost entirely. The bioavailability of acetyl acid is 70%, and salicylic acid is almost 100%.

Using the drug in large quantities during the 1st trimester of pregnancy can lead to an increased incidence of birth defects.

In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, medications are prescribed taking into account the risks and benefits. And in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, the drug causes inhibition of labor. That is, premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus or intracranial bleeding may occur in children and their mothers. Remember that it is prohibited to take the drug during the 1st and 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

We have not yet fully decided whether it is possible or not to use the drug during breastfeeding. You independently assess the situation of drug therapy with respect to a certain risk for infants.

Compound

“Cardiomagnyl” is a combination drug that affects the functioning of the cardiovascular system. The drug is prescribed in cardiology to stop the progression and eliminate the symptoms of acute heart failure and prevent thrombosis.

The composition of the drug is bicomponent, it contains a minimal amount of additional substances. The composition of Cardiomagnyl tablets includes:

• acetylsalicylic acid – 0.75 mg tablet – this is the main substance of the drug “Cardiomagnyl”;
• magnesium hydroxide is an auxiliary component of the drug, characterized by its antacid effect;
• propylene glycol;
• magnesium stearate;
• starch;
• talc;
• cellulose.

“Cardiomagnyl” is part of the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are most often used to prevent thrombosis and the consequences associated with this condition. When asked whether it is possible to drink “Cardiomagnyl” with high blood pressure, doctors give the following answer: “Cardiomagnyl” is effective in organizing complex treatment for hypertension, the drug prevents the development of heart attacks and strokes.

To understand exactly how a drug affects blood pressure—it can increase or decrease it—you need to become familiar with the principle of the pharmacological influence of its active components on the condition of blood vessels and the body as a whole. You need to study the instructions for use and understand at what pressure the drug helps.

Aspirin is a strong NSAID that has a pronounced anticoagulant effect. After acetylsalicylic acid penetrates into the bloodstream, blood fluidity is normalized, it stops putting strong pressure on the walls of blood vessels, and clotting slows down.

Magnesium hydroxide is the second most active component of the drug. It helps reduce the negative effects of aspirin on epithelial tissue in the gastrointestinal tract. Magnesium coats the mucous membranes, preventing aspirin from settling on wound-prone surfaces and relieving discomfort and pain.

Important! It is strongly recommended to use the drug only after meals. This will help further protect the digestive system from the formation of ulcers and the progression of gastritis due to the negative effects of aspirin.

A frequent question from patients is whether Cardiomagnyl increases or decreases blood pressure. In addition to protecting the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, magnesium hydroxide helps reduce the tone of the walls of blood vessels, which allows you to quickly lower high blood pressure and improve a person’s overall well-being.

Useful tips

It is advisable to take Cardiomagnyl after a doctor's prescription.
Acetyl acid can provoke bronchospasm and cause asthma attacks. Risks include asthma, fever, chronic respiratory diseases and allergies. Acetyl acid causes bleeding during and after surgery. A few days before the implementation of surgical intervention, it is necessary to assess the risk of bleeding. If it is significant, taking acetyl acid should be temporarily suspended. Bleeding can be caused by the combined use of drugs with acetyl acid. These medications include thrombolytics and anticoagulants. If you take acetyl acid in small quantities, gout may develop in people predisposed to this disease. The bleeding organs will suffer a number of side effects due to the combined use of acetyl acid with methotrexate. The drug used in large doses has a hypoglycemic effect. This is important to know, especially if a person suffers from diabetes and is forced to receive hypoglycemia for oral administration.

People with cardiovascular disease are prohibited from combining acetyl acid with ibuprofen. If you increase the dose of acid, you will still have to look at the risks of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol with acetyl acid, otherwise the bleeding will not stop soon.

During drug therapy, the patient should be careful when driving a car, which requires increased concentration and speed. An overdose can be easily identified. These symptoms include nausea, vomiting, tinnitus and dizziness. It is urgent to rinse the stomach with activated charcoal. There is a severe overdose, which includes severe symptoms. These include fever, coma, heart failure, and breathing problems. After an overdose, urgent hospitalization is required for emergency treatment. Activated carbon is used and saline solutions are injected.

Side effects

The optimal concentration of acetylsalicylic acid and magnesium in the tablet allows Cardiomagnyl to act on the body as safely as possible and not cause harm to organs. The risk of the drug “Cardiomagnyl” is significantly less, for example, in comparison with regular “Aspirin”. Side effects may develop, especially such reactions are typical for an organism weakened by chronic pathologies or if you independently increase the dose prescribed by the doctor. The most common side effects of the drug “Cardiomagnyl” include:

• internal or external bleeding;
• decrease in platelet concentration – thrombocytopenia;
• decreased level of hemoglobin in the blood;
• low blood sugar concentration – hypoglycemia;
• sleep disorders;
• headache;
• hearing impairment and even temporary loss;
• problems with the functioning of the digestive system - heartburn, nausea, rarely with vomiting, diarrhea, irritation of the intestinal mucosa, esophagitis;
• allergies - runny nose, rash, bronchospasm, swelling, anaphylactic shock.

Interaction of Cardiomagnyl with other drugs

Everyone knows that Cardiomagnyl contains acetylsalicylic acid. And it, in turn, when interacting with other drugs, enhances the effect:

• methotrexate, where the level of liver substance is reduced and replaced due to binding to proteins;
• heparin, where platelet function is impaired and indirect anticoagulants are displaced;
• antiplatelet drugs;
• digokisna due to decreased renal excretion;
• hypoglycemic agents and insulin.

1. Average. Nausea and vomiting, tinnitus, and loss of coordination are observed. Hearing deteriorates, confusion and dizziness occur. Patients are prescribed gastric lavage and an adequate dose of activated charcoal. Treatment depends on the clinical picture of the overdose.
2. Heavy. Fever, coma, respiratory and cardiovascular failure, and severe hypoglycemia are noted. Treatment is carried out in a hospital setting. Patients are prescribed intensive therapy, which includes the administration of special alkaline solutions, formulated diuresis and gastric lavage, and hemodialysis.

Important! To maximize the benefit, treatment may be supplemented with other symptomatic drugs.

Combining proper nutrition with taking medications

Everyone knows that it is easier to prevent a problem than to deal with long-term treatment later. Therefore, try in every possible way to prevent blood viscosity. A properly formulated diet will help with this. Some foods can help your body recover naturally.

1. Few people know, but tomatoes contain natural aspirin, which definitely will not cause side effects.
2. It is also very important to know that mushrooms can thin the blood and lower cholesterol levels.
3. Horseradish and radish help get rid of blood viscosity.
4. Olive oil not only thins the blood, but also lowers cholesterol levels.
5. Lemon cleanses the gastrointestinal tract.
6. Cranberry has a diuretic effect.
7. Fish oil prevents platelets from accumulating in the arteries.

Include sea fish, dairy products, ginger, seeds, beets, walnuts and red bell peppers in your diet. Salicylates have a beneficial effect on the body. They are found in raisins, oranges, berries and greens. It is very important to drink water daily. Each person should drink up to 2 liters of fluid per day.

That is why it is possible to draw an accurate conclusion. That is, with established blood viscosity, it is important to know whether you are drinking enough fluids. Usually this is the problem. This happens very often when a person is busy with work and simply has no time to have a snack. But this condition can be easily prevented.

Try to give up bad habits, that is, smoking and alcohol. Every person should get more rest. Take a walk in the fresh air and play sports. Try to avoid stressful situations.

If you feel unwell, then drop everything and go to the doctor for an examination. He will make the correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment. Only after consulting a doctor can you use medications. Take care of yourself and look after your health, because this is the most important thing.
