👸🏽 🕊️ 🥈 "Cardiomagnyl": reviews of doctors, instructions for use 🏏 👩🏼‍💻 📄

Recently, cases of the development of a heart attack or stroke due to the formation of blood clots in the vessels have become more frequent. Special drugs can help prevent the risk of premature death due to such a problem. Everyone knows that Aspirin has the properties of diluting blood. There is even a special form of release of this drug - Aspirin Cardio. But acetylsalicylic acid negatively affects the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, a drug was created in which this property is neutralized - Cardiomagnyl. In reviews of this tool, it is noted that it combines the effectiveness of acetylsalicylic acid and good tolerability. Therefore, for the prevention of complications of cardiovascular disease, this drug is the best suited.

Properties of acetylsalicylic acid

This substance has long been used in medicine. But basically its anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect is known. The drug "Aspirin" for many years is the most popular remedy for colds and headaches. But recently it became known that acetylsalicylic acid has the property of thinning the blood. It has been clinically proven that this substance can be used to prevent blood clots. Moreover, among other similar agents, acetylsalicylic acid is considered the most effective in this regard. This is explained by the fact that this substance is able to block the production of thromboxane - the enzyme responsible for the adhesion of platelets. For a healthy person, this substance is necessary, as it regulates the process of blood coagulation. But in patients with cardiovascular pathologies, this leads to the formation of blood clots.

But the peculiarity of the main drug with this active ingredient - “Aspirin” - is that it can not be used for a long time. Acetylsalicylic acid irritates the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract and can cause inflammation. In addition, in some conditions, it provokes bleeding. And with the constant use of Aspirin for the prevention of blood clots, various side effects often develop. But scientists have found a way out. They combined acetylsalicylic acid with magnesium hydroxide in one preparation. This substance neutralizes the negative effect of acid on the digestive tract and protects against mucosal damage.

General characteristics of the drug “Cardiomagnyl”

This tool was created specifically for the prevention of complications of cardiovascular pathologies. A special composition, including acetylsalicylic acid and magnesium hydroxide, ensures the high efficiency and safety of the Cardiomagnyl preparation. Reviews of cardiologists and people undergoing such a course of treatment confirm this. The drug is very effective for the prevention of thrombosis, thromboembolism and myocardial infarction.

Acetylsalicylic acid is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, has a high bioavailability, so its effect occurs after taking the first tablet. And the result remains for some time after the end of the course of treatment. The drug is often used because of the special properties that acetylsalicylic acid possesses. It refers to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, reduces fever and pain.

Composition and form of release

Doctors' comments on Cardiomagnyl indicate that this drug effectively prevents blood clots, but unlike Aspirin, it almost does not cause side effects. This is due to the special composition. The main active ingredient of the drug is acetylsalicylic acid. It inhibits the production of thromboxanes and prostaglandins, providing anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. And the absence of side effects from the gastrointestinal tract is explained by the presence of the second active substance - magnesium hydroxide. This is an antacid that reduces the acidity of gastric juice. It protects the mucosa of the digestive tract from the harmful effects of acetylsalicylic acid, while not reducing its effectiveness. In addition, the preparation contains auxiliary substances that do not affect its action: talc, magnesium stearate, starch, propylene glycol.

Cardiomagnyl is available in tablets. There are two options that differ in the dosage of the active substance - 75 mg and 150 mg. Pills are packaged in dark glass bottles. Reviews on "Cardiomagnyl" 75 mg indicate that its effect is weak, so it is better to use it for the prevention of thrombosis in mild cases. In a more serious condition, the patient is prescribed as part of the complex treatment “Cardiomagnyl” in a dosage of 150 mg of the active substance.

Indications for the use of the drug “Cardiomagnyl”

Judging by the name of the drug, it must be used in the treatment of heart pathologies. But this assumption is refuted by doctors and instructions for use. Reviews of cardiologists about "Cardiomagnyl" note that it is effective for the prevention of complications of such pathologies. It is prescribed mainly for those patients who have a high risk of blood clots. If the patient has no predisposition to this process, the use of "Cardiomagnyl" is inappropriate. Reviews of doctors note that it is best to prescribe it in such cases:

after heart surgery, for example, coronary bypass surgery;
patients with diabetes or obesity;
To old people;
with the complex treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, acute heart failure;
with coronary heart disease;
after myocardial infarction;
people with bad habits.

Application features

This drug is dispensed from pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription. Sometimes patients acquire it on the advice of friends, but before taking it, carefully study the instructions for use. Reviews of "Cardiomagnyl" show that some people are mistaken about its properties. Therefore, they leave negative feedback, calling it ineffective. This happens because such patients consider it a drug for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It is used for angina pectoris, hypertension, arrhythmias and does not receive the expected effect. In fact, Cardiomagnyl is a remedy that only prevents complications from such pathologies. It cannot replace cardioprotectors, diuretics, or vasodilators. In addition, it is not a source of magnesium, although this substance is in its composition.

Contraindications to its use

Even when prescribing the drug by a doctor, it is advisable to study its instructions well. Reviews on "Cardiomagnyl" note that it is well tolerated, but not all patients can take it. There are certain contraindications, in the presence of which the drug does not help, but rather worsens the patient's condition. First of all, it is a violation of blood coagulability and a tendency to bleeding. The cause of this condition can be hemorrhagic diathesis, a lack of vitamin K or potassium, the presence of a stomach ulcer. This is due to the ability of acetylsalicylic acid to thin the blood. In addition, this substance can provoke bronchospasm, therefore, patients with bronchial asthma should also not take "Cardiomagnyl."

Reviews of doctors note that there are several more categories of patients to whom this drug is not prescribed:

children under 18 years old;
pregnant women, especially in the 1st and 3rd trimester;
women during lactation;
people with kidney failure;
patients with intolerance to acetylsalicylic acid;
people with gout;
patients with cerebral hemorrhage.

Drug interaction

Due to the characteristics of the main active ingredients of the drug, care must be taken to select funds for complex treatment. It is advisable that the doctor do this, since Cardiomagnyl is not combined with all means. Most importantly, do not take it together with other thrombolytics and anticoagulants. At the same time, the effect of blood thinning increases, which can lead to bleeding. Cardiomagnyl is also incompatible with Methotrexate, this must be taken into account when choosing a treatment.

For patients with diabetes mellitus, a dosage adjustment of sugar-lowering drugs and insulin is necessary, since acetylsalicylic acid has a slight hypoglycemic effect. There are also drugs that reduce the effectiveness of Cardiomagnyl. This is Ibuprofen, which is incompatible with acetylsalicylic acid, and glucocorticoids. In addition, the absorption of the drug is slowed when taking antacids.

special instructions

Despite the fact that this drug is considered non-toxic and is taken to prevent complications of cardiovascular disease, you should not use it without a doctor’s recommendation. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as this increases the risk of bleeding and lesions of the digestive tract. It should also be borne in mind that during the course of treatment with Cardiomagnyl it is forbidden to take alcoholic beverages and some medicines.
