"Citramon" for pressure: composition, description, effect of the drug, instructions for use, dosage

Today we will talk about how the drug "Citramon" is taken from pressure. Most people are confident that this drug and “jumping” pressure are absolutely incompatible things. Why? The thing is that Citramon is capable of both sharply increasing and decreasing this indicator.

Immediately draw your attention to the fact that this medication is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It contains a fairly popular substance - caffeine. This fact is the reason for the cautious use of the drug with high blood pressure.

Before the appointment, a mandatory consultation with a doctor is necessary, since Citramon has not only positive qualities (increase or decrease in pressure, elimination of pain), but also negative (side effects, worsening of the patient's condition).

Structure

To understand whether Citramon can be given pressure, you need to get to know the composition of the drug. As mentioned earlier, the drug is able to have a complex effect on the body:

• removes heat;
• relieves the various nature of pain.

Just note that the main effect of the medication is anesthesia. Despite this, "Citramon" knocks down the temperature of the body and stops the inflammatory process.

The release of the drug is made in one form - tablets. The package can contain from one to two blisters; instructions for the use of the drug are mandatory. He is released without a prescription. As for the price, there is no definite answer to this question, since this indicator directly depends on the manufacturer.

“Citramon” helps with pressure or not, you will learn further by examining the table in this section.

Thus, it can be argued that “Citramon” raises the pressure. In addition, it has the following useful properties:

• relieves fatigue;
• eliminates drowsiness;
• stimulates mental activity;
• stimulates physical activity.

The drug is able to raise blood pressure due to the fact that caffeine increases the tone of the walls of blood vessels. You cannot take this medicine on your own; you need to consult a specialist who will familiarize you with the composition, indications, contraindications and side effects.

Low pressure

And so, having understood that “Citramon” raises the pressure, it should be noted that this does not happen in all cases. Another thing is coffee lovers. If the body is accustomed to caffeine, then taking this drug will not lead to the desired result. To explain this phenomenon is quite simple: caffeine in this case is accumulated by the body in a fairly large amount.

Taking the drug by people with low blood pressure is a fairly common case, especially if it is accompanied by a severe headache. It is thanks to the presence of caffeine that the patient’s central nervous system is excited, and performance improves markedly. In addition, there is an increased concentration of attention.

Note that in some cases, taking "Citramon" lowers blood pressure. If we are talking about hypotension, the patient, taking the drug, can achieve an even greater decrease in performance. But, as a rule, this does not happen. Some people who have constantly low blood pressure begin to abuse this drug, which is extremely contraindicated. Low blood pressure on an ongoing basis can talk about other rather serious violations in the body. That is, a comprehensive examination and specialist consultation is necessary.

High blood pressure

Having understood how Citramon acts under reduced pressure, we move on to the next question. What about people with hypertension, because they also often have severe headaches. Is this drug able to get rid of this problem? With high blood pressure, Citramon (or rather, caffeine, which is part of it) can only aggravate the situation.

Here you need to visit a doctor, because with hypertension, drugs are prescribed taking into account individual characteristics, the course of the pathological process. These drugs can lower blood pressure and relieve headaches.

Despite the fact that caffeine is contained in a very small amount, which does not even reach the daily norm of thirty milligrams, only a doctor can prescribe this medication with high blood pressure. It is also worth recalling that when taking Citramon, you must abandon the use of drinks that include caffeine. Otherwise, from its high concentration, the patient will deteriorate.

Indications

Now in more detail about when the drug can be used. What is said in the instructions for use of "Citramon"? At what pressure is it indicated for use?

As mentioned earlier, this drug is used for low blood pressure, but strictly as prescribed by the attending physician. This is necessary in order to avoid negative consequences. Hypotension is not the only indication for taking the drug. This group includes:

• pain of mild or moderate strength;
• increase in body temperature;
• migraine;
• pain in the teeth or head;
• neuralgia;
• astralgia;
• menstrual cramps.

Contraindications

Many people prefer to use Citramon from pressure on their own (without consulting a doctor), without even thinking about the possible harm to their body. In this section, attention will be paid to contraindications for taking this drug, because treatment in this case can cause complications that are quite dangerous for health.

Reception "Citramona" is contraindicated:

• with individual intolerance to any component;
• with blood diseases;
• with an exacerbated ulcer;
• with inflammatory processes in the organs of the gastrointestinal tract;
• with liver failure;
• with renal failure;
• with heart disease;
• with persistent high blood pressure;
• during pregnancy;
• during lactation;
• children under fourteen years old.

I would like to draw attention to the fact that paracetamol, which is part of the drug, can have a toxic effect on the liver. Based on this, during the treatment it is necessary to abandon the use of alcoholic beverages. In addition, we repeat, you can not use caffeine-containing drinks.

Instructions for Citramon

Pressure (elevated) is a fairly common reason for taking this drug, but do not forget about following the instructions and appointments of the attending physician. So, with hypotension, you need to drink only 2-3 tablets per day. This will help not only increase pressure, but also eliminate pain. Take "Citramon" can be no more than five days.

For migraines, it is recommended to drink one tablet every eight hours. The maximum allowable rate is eight pieces per day. If you do not follow these instructions, you may encounter an overdose. This will be described in more detail in the next section.

Overdose

“Citramon” for pressure should be used strictly according to the instructions, otherwise an overdose may occur. List of main symptoms:

• stomach ache;
• nausea;
• vomiting
• severe drowsiness;
• fatigue;
• cramps
• collapse;
• hard breath;
• the presence of shortness of breath.

First aid for overdose - gastric lavage and the introduction of sodium bicarbonate.

Side effects

Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that "Citramon" with pressure can be taken only as directed by a doctor. Abuse and self-medication can lead to side effects that lead to impaired functioning of many organs and systems. More detailed information is presented in the table.

Analogs

In cases where "Citramon" for some reason can not be used, the appointment of analogues is possible. These drugs can have a similar effect on the human body. Most often it is:

• Askofen;
• "Euro Citramon";
• "Copacil";
• Farmadol
• "Citropack";
• Exedrine
• Migralgin.

We draw your attention to the fact that all these drugs should be prescribed by the attending physician, since based on the disease, the individual dosage is calculated.
