Diseases of the cardiovascular system occupy a leading place among common pathologies. These statistics are distributed everywhere, as a result of which the problem is global for physicians all over the world. Elderly people are most affected by heart disease, but the problem tends to rejuvenate. The most common vascular pathologies are: myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertension, rhythm disturbances. All of these diseases can lead to death if medical attention is not provided on time. One of the drugs that are effective in most cardiovascular disorders is beta-blocker - anaprilin. It belongs to the group of non-selective medications and acts on both beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. In addition, the analog of anaprilin, bisoprolol, is widely used.
The mechanism of action of the drug
Anaprilin medication has several effects: it relieves pain (antianginal effect), lowers blood pressure (antihypertensive drug) and
normalizes heart rate (antiarrhythmic agent). All this is explained by the blockade of beta-adrenergic receptors, which lead to the excitation of the nervous system. When using the drug, cardiomyocytes become less excitable, therefore it is contraindicated in people who have hypotension, since collapse may occur. The effect of the medication on the respiratory system is to increase the tone of the bronchi, which is extremely dangerous for diseases such as rhinitis, COPD, bronchial asthma. In order to avoid the side effects of non-selective beta-blockers, an anaprilin analog is used.
The drug "Anaprilin": indications for use. Analogs and their use
The drug is used for diseases of the heart, thyroid gland, nervous system. Pathologies in which the drug is used: stable and
unstable angina, hypertension, various
types of arrhythmias. Also, the medication is used for such nervous disorders as fear syndrome, tremor of unknown origin. In endocrinology, the drug is indicated for patients with hyperthyroidism, in which arterial hypertension is observed. The analog of anaprilin “Bisoprolol” is used for the same diseases, but has several advantages.
Forms of the release of the drug "Anaprilin"
The active substance of the drug is propranolol. It can be used both orally and as an injection. The tablets contain 10 or 40 mg of propranolol and are used 2-3 times a day. The solution for injection is available in the form of ampoules of 1 ml. Each consists of 2.5 mg of propranolol hydrochloride. The drug has several names, the most commonly used name is "Anaprilin." Synonyms-analogues of the drug: "Propranolol", "Obzadan", "Inderal", "Angilol", "Antralol", "Indikardin" and "Stobetin". All these drugs have the same active substance and international name, the only difference is the "commercial name" of the drug.
The benefits of the drug "Bisoprolol"
The difference possessed by the analog of anaprilin - the drug “Bisoprolol”, is its selectivity, that is, the selective effect on receptors. For this reason, the medication has more advantages, since it does not have the side effects that are observed when taking the drug Anaprilin. The effect of the analog is longer, therefore it can be used only 1 time per day. Unlike non-selective drugs, the medication can be used for diabetes, people who have metabolic disorders (high cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar). Due to the many diseases that accompany the elderly, the use of this analogue is recommended, since it has fewer side effects and contraindications. Also, the medication does not affect potency, therefore it is the preferred drug for men.
The drug "Anaprilin": instructions for use. Analogs
The drug must be taken on an empty stomach, half an hour before a meal. The dosage of the Anaprilin preparation is selected individually for each patient, depending on the type of pathology, stage of the disease and the patient’s body. Therefore, it is extremely important to seek medical help for diseases such as arterial hypertension, angina pectoris, hyperthyroidism. It is impossible to independently start the use of the drug without knowing the correct dosage regimen, as this can lead to a worsening of the condition. Most often, the appointment of a medication begins with 40 mg 3-4 times a day. Drugs that have different names, but the same basic substance, may have a different dosage, so when buying such an analogue, it is necessary to clarify the method of its use. If Bisoprolol is used as an analogue, then it is used once a day due to the greater effectiveness of the active substance.
