Directions for use and doses
Take the medicine sublingually.
One tablet of the drug is placed under the tongue and left until completely dissolved. It can be used regardless of meals. For VSD, Eltacin is taken one tablet three times a day. The standard dose of the drug for the treatment of chronic deficiency in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age is one tablet three times a day. The average course of treatment is one to three months. If prescribed by a doctor, a repeat course may be given.
As a preventive measure for physical and mental exhaustion in children over 12 years of age during exams and in prolonged stressful situations, one tablet is prescribed in the evening and morning hours. To treat diagnosed exhaustion in the same age category, you need to take one tablet three times a day.
If the drug is prescribed as an additional source of amino acids to improve the psycho-emotional state, normalize sleep, and reduce nervous tension, then you should take one tablet three times a day. For other problems that require correction with Eltacin, the required dosage is prescribed by the attending physician depending on the patient’s condition and the individual characteristics of the disease.
Important: To prevent physical and mental stress, cardiologists prescribe Eltacin, one tablet in the morning and evening for three weeks.
Side effects and contraindications
Clinical studies have shown that the medication is well absorbed and no side effects were observed. Eltacin for VSD in adults has no contraindications, except for individual intolerance or allergy to the composition. If there is an allergic reaction, a rash and itching appears on the skin. You should stop taking it immediately. Use during pregnancy or lactation is not recommended. Although animal tests have not shown a negative effect on fetal development, doctors do not recommend taking risks.
The drug is not prescribed for children under 12 years of age. This is due to the fact that the internal organs are not fully formed. An excess of amino acids that stimulate the delivery of oxygen to cells can negatively affect development.
For vegetative-vascular dystonia, complex treatment is usually prescribed. The medicinal part includes drugs from the groups of diuretics, inhibitors, adrenergic blockers, and beta blockers. During studies, Eltacin showed good compatibility with all types; no negative effects were noticed.
Composition and pharmacological properties
Eltacin is one of the most popular drugs in its group
The drug Eltacin is available in tablets packaged in blisters, 30 tablets in one package. The tablets are small, round, white or almost white. The medicine contains:
- glycine;
- L-glutamic acid;
- L-cystine.
Additional components in the tablets are methylcellulose and magnesium stearate.
One tablet contains 70 mg of each active ingredient. The drug is widely available in large pharmacies and pharmacy chains and is available without a prescription.
The pharmacological effect of the drug is determined by the properties of each component of the composition. The amino acid glycine promotes:
- improving metabolism;
- reducing the effect of stress on the nervous system;
- increasing cognitive functions of the brain;
- relieving psycho-emotional stress;
- normalization of muscle tone.
This remedy is one of the most popular drugs from the group of nootropics, as it has a mild therapeutic effect and has no side effects.
The main property of glutamic acid is the stimulation of metabolic processes occurring in the central nervous system. The product also relieves stress and normalizes the functioning of the endocrine system.
The main direction of action of the three amino acids that make up the medicine is to reduce stress, normalize the functioning of the nervous system, antioxidant protection and stimulate metabolism.
Cystine is responsible for metabolism, improves metabolic processes in tissue cells, and stimulates regeneration processes in the body. The peculiarity of this amino acid is its pronounced antioxidant effect and stimulation of the elimination of toxins and cleansing of the body.
Eltacin for VSD
“Eltacin” is a complex drug for VSD, which contains amino acids important for the body: glycine, glutamine, cystine.
Amino acids are the building blocks of cells, conducting protein synthesis. Full brain function is impossible without amino acids. When the body has a sufficient amount of these elements, all minerals and vitamins perform their functions well. Not all amino acids are produced by the body. There are some that cannot be replaced by anything. It is also not recommended to do without them. What to do in a situation with a lack of the necessary amino acid? "Eltacin" will help solve the problem.
- Glycine in Eltacin acts on the cause of the disorder, emotional overstrain, reducing it. Normalizes the inhibition function of the central nervous system, restores the functioning of brain cells, and reduces muscle tension.
- Glutamine in Eltacin will feed the smallest blood vessels in the brain, which will better supply the brain with oxygen. This is the main restorer of resistance against stress in VSD. It will also force the brain to be active.
- Cystine in Eltacin is a good antioxidant, normalizes metabolic processes, activates the activity of many hormones, including oxytocin, which is called the attachment hormone.
Consequently, all components in Eltacin best help overcome the manifestations of VSD.
Indications for use
Eltacin tablets are recommended to be taken in the following cases:
- Chronic heart failure.
- Vegetative-vascular dystonia.
- Prevention of chronic forms of physical overstrain.
It is also used for recovery after active physical activity.
It is possible to use the medication for other pathological processes if the doctor considers it appropriate. For example, they can use tablets for problems with blood pressure or atherosclerotic disease.
Eltacin tablets have a wide range of uses, including hypertension
Experts' opinions
There is no consensus among professionals regarding the medicine. Some do not consider Eltacin a drug, classifying it as a dietary supplement. Others do not doubt its properties as a cure for many problems, including VSD.
There is also a middle point of view between the two described above. It lies in the recognition of “Eltacin” as a medicine that has a more psychosomatic effect on a person, working as a kind of placebo. The fight against VSD is a set of measures aimed at radically changing the patient’s thinking. "Eltacin" can be an excellent assistant in this matter.
Instructions for use of tablets
Eltacin is a combination drug, so it is prescribed for various diseases associated with nervous system disorders and general malaise.
Indications and contraindications
The drug is most often used in neurology and cardiology. It has the following indications for use:
- Second and third degree heart failure.
- Mental and physical exhaustion in adults and children.
- Supporting the body during mental and emotional stress.
- Vegetovascular dystonia.
- Deviant behavior in childhood.
- Hyperexcitability.
- Ischemic stroke.
- Supporting the body after serious illnesses.
Since Eltacin contains substances that are produced in the body, the drug has a minimal number of contraindications. The first is individual intolerance to the components, and the second is children under 11 years of age, due to the insufficient number of studies conducted.
Methods of therapy
The tablets should be kept under the tongue until they are completely dissolved. Reception does not depend on food intake, but for best effectiveness the medicine should be taken at certain hours.
The dosage is prescribed by the attending physician depending on the disease and age. For preventive purposes, it is recommended for both adults and children to dissolve 1 tablet twice a day.
Treatment regimens:
- For vegetative disorders, children and adults over 12 years of age are prescribed a therapeutic course for a period of 1 to 3 months. Dissolve one tablet daily three times a day.
- Chronic heart failure in adult patients also requires a long course of up to 3 months, one tablet three times a day. A similar treatment regimen is recommended for children over 12 years of age.
- To prevent chronic physical and mental fatigue, children 11-15 years old are prescribed 1 tablet twice a day for a period of 1 to 3 weeks.
- For children involved in sports, to restore strength, take a tablet three times a day for 14 days.
After starting therapy, improvement occurs very quickly and the effect lasts for the entire course and for some time after it. If necessary, the attending physician prescribes repeated courses if the patient's condition requires such a need.
During pregnancy
Eltacin has not undergone clinical trials regarding the safety of use in women carrying a child or breastfeeding, therefore the drug cannot be taken during these periods, since there is insufficient data on the effect of the drug on the child.
If there is a need to take Eltacin during lactation, then during treatment you need to stop feeding the child, and it is possible to resume 1-2 days after the end of the course of treatment.
Treatment of children
Eltacin is not prescribed to young children, so the medication can only be taken from 11 years of age. But, even despite the safe composition of the drug, it must be prescribed by the attending physician.
Recently, children have been experiencing very heavy stress. The school curriculum is changing, and not all children are able to adapt to the large flow of information and increased demands. In addition, after school, children go to extracurricular activities or sports clubs, which leads to physical and mental fatigue. Therefore, children need support and it is best if it is a mild drug like Eltacin.
Children need the drug in the following cases:
- Increased intellectual and physical activity.
- Enduring severe stress.
- Neurological disorders.
- Hyperexcitability.
- Heart failure.
- Sleep disorders.
- Vegetovascular dystonia.
- Psycho-emotional disorders.
The therapeutic course is prescribed by the attending physician, most often a neurologist. The doctor assesses the child’s condition and prescribes a tablet under the tongue up to three times every morning. The average duration of treatment is 3 weeks.
Regimen and dosage regimen
Dosage depends on age and diagnosis
In the instructions for use, Eltacin is recommended to be dissolved by placing the tablet under the tongue and leaving it until completely dissolved. At the same time, food intake does not have a significant effect on the absorption of the drug, so Eltacin can be taken both before and after meals.
The drug dosage regimen depends on the indications and age of the patient. The instructions provide standard recommendations, however, the dosage and duration of treatment can be adjusted by the attending physician.
Standard dosage regimen, depending on indications:
- heart failure: 1 tablet three times a day for 2-3 months;
- VSD: 1 tablet 2 times a day for children (12-18 years old), and 1 tablet 3 times a day for adults for 3 months;
- prevention of mental and physical exhaustion: 1 tablet twice a day for children and 1 tablet three times a day for adults for 14 days;
- treatment of physical and mental exhaustion: 1 tablet three times a day for a month, regardless of age.
The remedy for VSD Eltacin can be prescribed in other cases not specified in the instructions for use. In this case, the dosage and duration of drug therapy are determined by the doctor individually for each patient.
Pharmacological group
Eltacin belongs to the group of combined antioxidant medications. The product contains three non-essential amino acids, represented by L-glutamic acid and L-cystine, which are direct regulators of metabolic processes. Under the influence of the active elements of the drug, the concentration of glutathione inside the cells increases and, accordingly, the degree of activity of enzymes dependent on this tripeptide increases. This leads to the normalization of natural redox processes. The main effects of Eltacin are:
- improving physical endurance;
- increasing cognitive abilities;
- acceleration of recovery processes after overwork or injuries (especially in children over 11 years old);
- improvement of metabolic processes in the brain during head injuries and/or strokes;
- increased contractility of the heart;
- normalization of sleep;
- improvement of psycho-emotional and social adaptation;
- suppression of the tendency to conflicts and attacks of aggression;
- increasing the body's resistance to various ischemic lesions;
- reducing the concentration of free radicals, malondialdehyde and peroxide compounds (antioxidant property).
Features of "Eltatsin"
The drug "Eltacin" is an antihypoxic and antioxidant agent.
It is used to stabilize redox reactions and restore blood supply to internal organs and tissues. While taking the medicine, heart function improves and tolerance to physical activity increases. The medicine is produced in the form of tablets. There are 30 of them in one blister. The color of the tablets can be white, yellow and gray. Typically, the price of the medicine for VSD “Eltatsina” varies from 150 to 200 rubles. You can buy it without a prescription at virtually any major pharmacy. The drug can be stored in a dark place at a temperature not exceeding 25°. After the expiration date (2 years from the date of release), the medication must be disposed of.
“Eltacin” consists of several essential amino acids:
- Glycine is a universal and most common amino acid. It helps improve cognitive functions (thinking, memory, concentration), stabilizes the psycho-emotional background and relieves irritability. After taking this substance, people better tolerate stressful situations and physical activity. The amino acid is no less effective in treating poisoning, which makes it popular for hangover syndrome. To prevent diseases of the cardiovascular system, glycine is used due to its ability to dilate blood vessels.
- L-cystine plays an important role in the synthesis of immunoglobulin, somatostatin and insulin. It is prescribed to protect against toxic substances, reduce inflammation and pain, accelerate wound healing and increase tolerance to irritants.
- L-glutamic acid is prescribed to remove harmful substances from the body, synthesize other amino acids, prevent hypoxia and stimulate neuromuscular impulse transmission. With long-term use, metabolic and oxidative processes improve.
The combination of active substances makes Eltacin an indispensable means of treatment and prevention of many diseases and conditions:
- heart failure;
- disruptions of the autonomic nervous system;
- atherosclerosis;
- decreased visual acuity;
- alcoholism;
- consequences of head injury;
- anemia;
- pathologies of the nervous and respiratory systems;
- the harmful effects of stress;
- physical and mental overload;
- Alzheimer's disease;
- stroke.
The spectrum of action of Eltacin is mostly focused on the central nervous system. It is especially effective in helping against vegetative-vascular dystonia, which is typical for children in adolescence and adults due to disruptions of the hormonal system and non-compliance with the rules of a healthy lifestyle.
It is not recommended to take Eltacin during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), for children under 11 years of age, and if there is an individual intolerance to the composition. Contraindications are associated with the possible manifestation of allergic reactions (itching, rash, signs of a cold, swelling).
If side effects are detected, you should consult a doctor. He will change the dosage or recommend an analogue:
- "Tavilux Plus";
- "Mexiprim";
- "Antioxidant NSP."
The mentioned medications are similar in their mechanism of action, but differ in their composition. If the problem is intolerance to the components of Eltacin, then its analogues can help cope with vegetative failures without harming the body.
Properties of the drug and composition
The drug has a complex effect on the body, increasing performance and well-being.
Eltacin for VSD is used not as a treatment, but as a preventive and supportive agent. The medicine is available in tablets, 30 pieces per package. One tablet contains:
- 70 mg glycine;
- 70 mg L-glutamic acid;
- 70 mg L-cystine;
- cellulose;
- magnesium stearate.
The tablets are white and small in size. They are taken sublingually, that is, the medicine must dissolve on its own in the oral cavity.
The drug consists of three non-essential amino acids that take part in the regulation of metabolic processes occurring in the central nervous system and heart.
The medicine improves intracellular metabolism, restores redox processes in organ tissues, and improves oxygen utilization in tissues.
Properties of the drug:
- antioxidant and antihypoxic effects;
- improvement of heart contractility;
- helps fight stress;
- restores the nervous system after strong psycho-emotional stress;
- increases performance.
The drug also speeds up the body’s recovery process after intense physical exertion, which is why it is prescribed to children and adults who actively engage in sports.
Eltacin for VSD is prescribed as a means of maintaining the functioning of the heart and nervous system, as well as to improve performance.
The drug is also indicated for patients with heart failure as a means of improving quality of life.
Indications for use
The medicine is recommended for use during increased physical, mental and emotional stress
VSD is not the only indication for prescribing the drug. Eltacin tablets are used to treat the following disorders and conditions, including those associated with VSD:
- chronic heart failure in adolescents and adults;
- autonomic dysfunction in adolescents;
- stress;
- deterioration of performance due to VSD;
- prevention of attacks and exacerbation of VSD symptoms;
- physical overstrain, emotional burnout associated with increased stress for a long time.
At the same time, the drug Eltacin for VSD is not used as an independent remedy to combat stress or insomnia, despite the fact that glycine is present in the composition. This is explained by the fact that there is not enough glycine in the drug to fully restore the nervous system. In case of VSD, Eltacin is considered as an auxiliary medicine that can be combined with other drugs to restore the nervous system.
Important! Eltacin is not a panacea; it cannot cope with VSD alone.
Tablets can be recommended to people who want to change their lifestyle and engage in physical activity, but because of VSD they do not find the strength. In this case, Eltacin will improve the sensitivity to physical activity, support the nervous system and improve performance and overall well-being.
It should be noted that the drug can be taken by adolescents over 12 years of age, therefore Eltacin is approved for use upon the initial detection of VSD during puberty.
Contraindications
The remedy for VSD Eltacin is generally safe and has virtually no contraindications, except for individual intolerance to the components included in the combination medicine. Also, the drug is not prescribed to children under 11 years of age, which is due to a lack of data on the safety of its use in younger age groups.
It is not recommended to take the medicine during pregnancy and lactation, since there is insufficient data on its effect on the fetus to make a conclusion about the safety of the drug.
Side effects and overdose
If you are individually intolerant to the components of Eltacin, stomach problems may occur.
Eltacin for vegetative-vascular dystonia is well tolerated by the body, so no side effects are observed if you take tablets for VSD according to the instructions. In case of intolerance to the drug for VSD, an allergic reaction may develop, so it is recommended to carefully study the composition of Eltacin tablets before starting use.
Allergies are manifested by the following symptoms:
- hives;
- skin rash;
- redness and itching of the epidermis;
- rhinitis and conjunctivitis;
- sore throat;
- discomfort in the stomach.
Allergic rashes most often occur on the face, around the mouth, or on the cheeks. If an allergy occurs, you should stop taking the medication and consult a doctor.
There were no cases of overdose. Taking it according to instructions prevents the development of an overdose and a condition that is potentially life-threatening.
Use for VSD in adults
Vegetative-vascular dystonia, or autonomic dysfunction, is a set of symptoms indicating a general malfunction of the autonomic nervous system of the body. This disorder is expressed by various signs, and most often these are dizziness, weakness, pressure changes, palpitations, digestive problems and others.
Effect of the drug and methods of administration
Many people do not pay attention to the symptoms of VSD, believing that these signs indicate fatigue, overexertion or lack of sleep. But in the absence of supportive treatment, the symptoms continue to increase, others join in, and the patient gets worse and worse. Against the background of VSD, other diseases can develop, for example, coronary heart disease, ulcers, diabetes mellitus.
The action of Eltacin stabilizes the balance between parts of the nervous system, affecting the cause of the disorder. The drug has the following properties:
- Stimulates the work of the heart muscle.
- Improves the quality of metabolic processes.
- Normalizes the psycho-emotional state.
- Relieves depression.
- Eliminates attacks of irritability and aggression.
- Normalizes sleep.
- Increases the body's resistance to stress and overexertion.
- Removes toxins and eliminates their harmful effects.
- Improves cognitive functions.
It is especially important to combat the signs of VSD in adolescents, which occurs in a more acute form than in adults. Body growth and hormonal changes lead to the development of several symptoms simultaneously
Tablets are dissolved 1 piece three times a day, regardless of meals. The duration of therapy for VSD should not exceed 3 months. Eltacin has a positive effect on the entire body, and many patients observe significant improvements while taking it. Symptoms of VSD are not only weakened, but also completely disappear with regular use of the drug.
Reviews from doctors about the tablets are mostly positive. Most neurologists and cardiologists prescribe this drug for VSD, heart failure, tachycardia and other disorders associated with the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
Reviews:
General practitioner Makarenko A.V.: “I often recommend Eltacin for VSD. Occasionally I also prescribe the drug to patients with physical fatigue or heart failure. The most important thing is that in case of (heart) failure, complex treatment is necessary, and Eltacin should be taken with other drugs or in between the main courses.”
Cardiologist Bronev G.V.: “Eltacin underwent several clinical studies and showed that a course of treatment of at least 1-2 months is able to restore cardiac activity, increase the overall tone of the body, and also reduce the intensity of symptoms in VSD.”
Pediatric neurologist Zhernovskaya E.O.: “I prescribe Eltacin to schoolchildren when intellectual abilities noticeably decrease, performance suffers and cognitive functions are impaired. Unfortunately, the drug is available only from the age of 11, but I prescribe Elkar for younger children.”
Some experts believe that Eltacin is not a drug, but simply a dietary supplement with an antioxidant effect, which can only be prescribed as a light maintenance agent:
Family doctor Deitch G.R.: “I do not consider Eltacin to be an effective drug in any of the cases listed in the annotation. This is a medicine from the “you need to drink something” series. It is rather a placebo, taken to calm patients, but not for treatment.”
Use of drugs for VSD
Patients with VSD cannot do without the constant use of medications.
The list of drugs for VSD is huge. In each specific case, the medicine must be prescribed individually. After all, VSD itself rarely manifests itself. As a rule, it accompanies some other disease. It should be treated first.
Official medicine says that the prevention of cardiovascular diseases plays an important role. Vitamins for the heart occupy a special place in VSD. Patients are prescribed one of the modern drugs that can prevent the occurrence of VSD and begin treatment of vascular disease.
Precautions and tolerance
Since Eltacin is a drug, it has certain side effects and precautions for use
Side effects
Eltacin is very well tolerated, since the active ingredients of the drug are already present in the body. Therefore, side effects from treatment occur extremely rarely in the form of allergic reactions. Less commonly, a feeling of nausea is observed during the dissolution of the tablets, but it passes in a very short period.
Allergic urticaria
The instructions do not indicate other side effects, but if you look at the instructions for Glycine, you can see that it can cause severe allergic reactions, swelling of the legs or limbs, anaphylactic shock and convulsions. Cysteine is well tolerated, but in case of individual intolerance it can cause allergies.
Glutamic acid is also well tolerated, but in rare cases it causes stool upset, nausea, vomiting, and hyperexcitability. While taking it, there is a decrease in hemoglobin, leukocytes and irritation of the oral mucosa. It follows from this that Eltacin is also capable of causing negative reactions characteristic of glycine and glutamic acid.
How to avoid negative consequences?
Despite its safety, Eltacin should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor, if indicated. Uncontrolled use of any medications can lead to negative consequences on the part of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as to a deterioration in the general condition.
The permissible treatment period of 3 months must not be exceeded - there must be breaks.
Eltacin can be taken with other medications without fear of negative reactions. The only thing that should be taken into account is that the glycine contained in the composition can reduce the effect of antipsychotic drugs. The drug combines well with diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE antagonists and nitrates, which has been proven in clinical studies.
Taking with alcohol
Diseases treated with Eltacin require giving up bad habits - alcohol and smoking. They negatively affect the condition of blood vessels and the general condition of the body. Therefore, it is advisable for patients to give up bad habits, at least for the period of treatment.
If it is not possible to completely give up alcohol, then men can take tablets 2 hours before and 6 hours after drinking a small amount of alcohol. Women should take the medicine 4 hours before and 9 hours after drinking alcohol. But it should be remembered that alcohol abuse is unacceptable - you can drink only a small amount and very rarely.
Pharmacological effects
Since the drug “Eltacin”, the instructions for use confirm this, is a multicomponent medicine, each of its components will contribute to the pharmacological properties of the drug. Thus, Glycine and Glutamic acid, as well as Cystine, are prominent representatives of the subgroup of regulators of metabolic processes in tissues. Therefore, due to their presence in the composition of the medication, there is a significant increase in the concentration of glutathione directly in the cells themselves, activation of glutathione-dependent enzyme proteins. In addition, oxidative as well as reduction processes in organs and tissues are corrected.
All this is expressed by pharmacological effects:
- pronounced antioxidant – a significant reduction in free radicals, as well as peroxide compounds;
- optimal antihypoxic – active increase in tissue resistance to oxygen foci of ischemia;
- increased contractile activity of the myocardium;
- increasing people's physical performance;
- prolongation of the number of active life years of persons suffering from cardiovascular pathologies;
- acceleration of the onset of working capacity after intense exercise;
- improving the quality of life of people with severe cardiovascular insufficiency - their social adaptation, as well as their psycho-emotional state.
In addition, the medication is absolutely non-toxic and does not have local irritating properties for the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Release form, storage conditions
These are small white tablets.
Each contains 70 milligrams of glutamic acid, glycine and cystine. The pharmaceutical drug Eltacin is sold in cardboard packages containing one blister with 30 cells. Instructions for use are included with the medication. The drug is available in blister packs of 30 pieces, in tablets that have a yellowish tint. No overdose was detected. Those who took Eltacin for the treatment of VSD left positive reviews. The shelf life is three years. Temperatures up to 24 degrees Celsius are recommended.
Advantages of the drug
The use of Eltacin has certain advantages over other drugs for autonomic failures:
pros | Description |
Convenience | The tablets are small in size and are administered sublingually (under the tongue), so they can be taken under any circumstances. |
No doctor's prescription required | Vegetative-vascular dystonia manifests itself to a certain extent in 70-80% of the world's population. At the same time, not all people have the opportunity to see a doctor, so not needing a prescription is extremely useful. |
High efficiency | Judging by the reviews, after a week of taking it, the general condition improves and the symptoms of autonomic failure are relieved. |
Safety | Judging by the reviews, after a week of taking it, the general condition improves and the symptoms of autonomic failure are relieved. |
Prevalence | The drug can be purchased at virtually any major pharmacy at a low price. |
Tablets for VSD "Eltacin" are prescribed to achieve the following goals:
- cleansing the body of harmful substances;
- acceleration of metabolic processes;
- stimulation of the heart muscle;
- increasing cognitive abilities;
- stabilization of the psycho-emotional background;
- increased mood;
- acceleration of adaptation in society;
- removal from a state of depression;
- relief of aggressiveness and groundless irritability;
- normalization of the balance between parts of the autonomic nervous system;
- improved sleep;
- stimulation of metabolic processes in the cells of the heart and brain;
- improving blood circulation;
- increasing tolerance to stress and overload;
- reducing the harmful effects of toxic substances.
Glycine helps to relieve the clinical picture of autonomic failure by acting on the causative factor. The patient gradually begins to feel a surge of strength and a general improvement in his condition. Due to L-cystine, it is possible to normalize the synthesis of substances vital to the body. Without them, the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the nervous system may be disrupted, which will lead to the development of VSD. L-glutamic acid plays the role of an antihypoxic agent. Thanks to the effects of this amino acid, it is possible to prevent the consequences of impaired blood circulation and improve the transmission of nerve signals.
Analogs
There are no drugs similar in composition to Eltacin. You can replace the medicine if you purchase each component separately, but this method carries the risk of incorrect dosage of the components. A number of other drugs that can replace Eltacin have similar effects - antioxidant and antihypoxic:
- Glycine.
- Limontar.
- Neurox.
- Cardioxipin.
- Emoxipin.
- Emoxybel.
The company that produces Eltacin also produces Biotredin sublingual tablets.
They are indicated for decreased mental and physical performance, decreased cognitive function and normalization of emotional and mental state. Riboxin is often used in bodybuilding. This drug helps to increase energy potential, improve metabolism and stimulate biochemical processes, including in muscle tissue.
Cardiologists often replace Eltacin with other drugs intended to treat heart diseases. Validol for heart disease is the cheapest and most accessible medicine. It has antiarrhythmic, vasodilator and mild vasodilator effects. Cormentol sublingual capsules have a similar effect.
Valocardin for neuroses and VSD is prescribed to calm the nerves, normalize heart function, calm and normalize sleep. Valocardine is prescribed even to children, if necessary.
Eltacin can be replaced with nootropics and antipsychotics if it is necessary to normalize cerebral circulation, eliminate hypoxia, and normalize the mental and emotional state.
Eltacin can also be prescribed simultaneously with nootropics, as it improves their bioavailability. Can be used:
- Piracetam.
- Phenotropil.
- Etiracetam.
- Cerebrolysin.
But you should not replace Eltacin with other medications without a doctor’s prescription, especially if they are intended to treat heart diseases. Changing the drug, treatment regimen and course duration cannot be prescribed independently, so as not to cause serious complications.
Eltacin is a unique drug that has no complete analogues. This drug has a powerful effect and therefore it is prescribed to both children and adults for mental and physical stress, cardiac pathologies, and VSD.
Eltacin is necessary for athletes to give them strength to cope with heavy loads and to maintain the functioning of the heart, which wears out faster with regular training. A course of the drug allows you to quickly restore strength and eliminate the negative consequences of intellectual and physical overstrain.
general information
Eltacin is a commercially available medicine. It can be purchased by anyone who wants to support the functioning of the body. But since this is a drug, it cannot be taken just like that, so you need to know in what cases the use of Eltacin is indicated, its composition and how the components act on the body.
Drug group and release form
Eltacin belongs to the group of antioxidant drugs, but also has antihypoxic properties. The medicine slows down oxidative processes, improves myocardial metabolism and increases the resistance of body tissues.
The medicine is available only in the form of tablets intended for sublingual, that is, sublingual administration. This method of administration has some advantages:
- The active ingredients of the drug are not destroyed by gastric acids.
- The medicine penetrates directly into the bloodstream, since there are a large number of capillaries under the tongue.
- The tablets bypass the gastrointestinal tract, so the concentration of active substances entering the blood is much higher and the therapeutic effect occurs very quickly.
This method of administration allows you to quickly relieve the symptoms of VSD, normalize the heartbeat and psycho-emotional state of the patient.
Cost of the product
Eltacin is not only effective, but also an inexpensive drug that almost everyone can purchase. Pharmacy chains set their own price for tablets, so on the shelves you can see Eltacin costing from 140 to 260 rubles. The medicine is produced by only one company, Biotiki MNPK LLC, so it makes no difference whether you buy it for cheaper or more expensive, since the medicine will be completely the same.
Composition and pharmaceutical properties
Eltacin contains three active ingredients, 70 mg each in one tablet. The active components - glycine, L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine - when interacting, create a peptide bond, resulting in the formation of a substance called γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine, or glutathione. The preparation contains only two active components - water-soluble methylcellulose and magnesium stearate, which act as stabilizers and binders.
Glutathione, which is formed by the interaction of the three active components of the drug, is one of the most important substances in the body. It is produced in the body and is found in almost every cell, but with age its quantity decreases, and as a result various diseases develop.
Taking the drug ensures a sufficient supply of this substance, which allows it to be used for the prevention and treatment of VSD, heart failure, neuroses and other diseases.
Glutathione has many functions:
- Promotes the supply of oxygen to all organs and tissues.
- Binds and removes free radicals and heavy metal toxins from the body.
- Helps normalize the quantity and quality of enzymes that resist cell destruction.
- Programs cancer cells to die.
- Supports the functioning of T-lymphocytes.
- Improves the bioavailability of certain drugs and also prevents the development of drug resistance.
- Regulates the production of bile in the gallbladder.
Glycine is a regulator of metabolic processes throughout the body, which helps maintain the nervous system, normalize the condition and increase performance.
Cysteine is an amino acid that has antitoxic and antioxidant effects, normalizes digestion and stimulates collagen production in the body. It also stimulates the activity of many proteins and hormones, including oxytocin and vasopressin.
Cysteine
The complex effect of the drug contributes to:
- Fight free radicals.
- Increasing the body's resistance to physical stress.
- Stimulation of blood supply to all organs and tissues.
- Normalization of psycho-emotional state.
