Heart and vascular diseases are gaining momentum. This is due to poor ecology, malnutrition and nervous work. These factors adversely affect the heart of not only the elderly, but also young people. In order to treat or prevent diseases of the heart and blood vessels, you need to take certain medications. A popular but expensive tool was Cardiomagnyl. Is there an analogue cheaper? Why take these medicines and how do they work?
What is Cardiomagnyl?
Cardiomagnyl is prescribed for the prevention of diseases in neurological and cardiological practice. Its action is directed not so much to treatment as to preventing diseases associated with cardiac pathology. The drug is prescribed as an additional aid in the course of treatment. Cardiomagnyl consists of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and magnesium hydroxide. It is prescribed for the prevention of blood clots (thrombosis) in veins and blood vessels.
Indications for use
Just like that, of course, the doctor will not prescribe it for you. In order to take this drug or cheaper analogues of “Cardiomagnyl” and “Aspirin Cardio”, medical indications are needed:
- thrombosis, acute heart failure;
- diabetes;
- obesity;
- arterial hypertension, unstable angina;
- smoking and old age;
- the period after myocardial infarction;
- period after surgery transferred to the heart or blood vessels.
The drug is sold in pharmacies, dispensed freely, without a prescription. But in any case, you can not self-medicate - you need professional advice from a specialist. If he prescribed Cardiomagnyl to you (an analogue is cheaper), then only in this case can you start taking it. If it is not possible to purchase Cardiomagnyl, ask your doctor or pharmacist about the availability of more affordable analogues.
Cardiomagnyl analogue (cheap) in Russia
The composition of "Cardiomagnyl" includes acetylsalicylic acid. It is the main component of this drug. This remedy is an analogue of "Cardiomagnyl" cheap. In Russia, acetylsalicylic acid is known as "Aspirin". It is sold in every pharmacy and is several times cheaper.
In addition, Aspirin is a wonderful pain reliever, antipyretic medicine. The effectiveness of the antiplatelet agent has been proven by medical data when prescribed during the acute phase of ischemic stroke.
What is the difference between Aspirin and Cardiomagnyl?
The only difference between Aspirin and Cardiomagnyl is the absence of magnesium hydroxide in it. Acetylsalicylic acid can destroy the walls in the digestive tract, and magnesium hydroxide prevents this destruction. Only this is what distinguishes Cardiomagnyl. The analogue is cheaper, but not so safe to use. If there are problems on the part of the stomach or intestines, then it is better to refuse "Aspirin" in its pure form. For this reason, or for several other reasons, the doctor can prescribe not only the specified medication, but also the analogue of “Cardiomagnyl” cheap, but not “Aspirin”. It can be:
- Thrombopol.
- "Thrombo ACC".
- "Aspicor".
- Cardi ASK.
The advantage of these drugs is that the tablets are coated with a special membrane that resolves only in the intestine, preventing acid from destroying the walls of the stomach. Acid is absorbed through the intestines, but not as fast as Aspirin acts.
There are many other drugs that are similar in action to Cardiomagnyl but do not contain acetylsalicylic acid at all.

Why are analogues cheaper?
It takes a lot of finance and time to develop a drug formula. When all tests are carried out and a patent for the preparation of the drug is purchased, it goes on sale. Manufacturers want to quickly return all the money spent, so lush advertising is used. The product remains at the hearing of a person, doctors begin to prescribe it as a well-known medication. But there are drugs in composition exactly the same as their expensive counterpart. But their development did not take so much time, manufacturers calmly expect profits and do not remove the packaging from the drug in advertising. Accordingly, the price of such drugs is lower, but few people know about them. Cardiomagnyl is no exception. The analogue is cheaper precisely for the reason indicated above. Therefore, cheap - does not always mean bad.
