The modern standard of living with its enormous speeds rarely allows a person to relax from problems and stressful situations. An endless stream of various urgent matters - simply important and very important - exhausts the human body, provoking the development of mental and neurological diseases.
In order to adequately withstand the realities of today's life, a whole list of medicines has been developed. The most popular at present is Mexiprim. Analogues of the drug are also very in demand.
Mexiprim
The active component of this drug - ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate - is characterized by high antioxidant and membrane-protective activity. Suppresses the development of reactions between free radicals. In addition, Mexiprim prevents hypoxia, inhibits oxidative processes, and has a nootropic effect.
Information about the Mexiprim medication (instructions for use, reviews of specialists and consumers) allows us to talk about it as an effective anticonvulsant, anxiolytic drug.
The result of this drug is an improvement in the rheological parameters of blood, a decrease in the risk of thrombosis. The metabolic processes in the brain come to normal, microcirculation improves. Taking the medication increases the body's resistance to the toxic effects of alcohol, antipsychotic drugs.
The scope of the medication
The Mexiprim preparation is offered to consumers in two dosage forms of release - these are tablets and injections. Depending on the patientâs disease and state of health, either a pill or an injection are prescribed.
Mexiprim tablets (analogues in the same form of release are present on the pharmaceutical market) are mainly used for the following problems:
⢠Anxiety, developed on the basis of neurosis.
⢠Vegetovascular dystonia.
⢠Exposure to stressful situations.
⢠Intellectual insufficiency in the process of human aging (in gerontology).
⢠Cognitive abnormalities (memory impairment, decreased mental performance, etc.).
⢠Alcohol withdrawal syndrome, accompanied by vegetative-vascular reactions.
The second form of the Mexiprim medication - injections - can be prescribed if there are the following problems:
⢠Cardiopsychoneurosis.
⢠Cognitive abnormalities taking place against the background of atherosclerosis.
⢠Anxiety accompanying neurological abnormalities.
⢠Alcohol withdrawal.
⢠Acute cerebrovascular accident.
⢠Drug poisoning with antipsychotic drugs.
⢠Acute purulent-inflammatory processes of the abdominal organs.
⢠Encephalopathy.
Analog medicines
Medication "Mexiprim" instructions for use analogs divides in two directions:
1. Structural analogues of the active component.
2. Analogues for belonging to the pharmacological group (antioxidants and antihypoxants).
The most popular among the population belonging to the first group include drugs such as Medomeksi, Mexicor, Mexidant, Neurox, Cerecard. Of the most popular analogues in the pharmacological group, one can distinguish âActoveginâ, âPreductalâ, âAntistenâ. Although it must be said that the second group includes more than 4 dozens of different medicines.
Medomexi
Medomexi is perhaps the most sought-after analogue of Mexiprim in terms of the current component. Under its influence, the metabolism and blood supply to the brain tissue changes for the better, microcirculation and rheological parameters of blood are normalized, platelet aggregation (gluing) processes decrease. In addition, Medomexi has a lipid-lowering effect, reduces the amount of total cholesterol in the blood.
If you compare this medication with Mexiprim, the indications for use in these drugs are very close to each other. Both drugs have the same contraindications. This is hypersensitivity to the components, deviations in the functioning of the kidneys and liver, children's age of patients, lactation. As for pregnancy, neither one nor the other is recommended for use due to the lack of information about the possible effect on the body of the mother and the developing baby.
The fact that Medomexi is offered to consumers only in the form of tablets with a dosage of 125 mg can be added to the differences.
Mexicor
Another quite popular analogue of Mexiprim is the Mexicor drug. This medicine is offered to consumers in several forms: tablets, gelatin capsules, solution (in ampoules) for intravenous and intramuscular administration. The tablet form, according to the instructions, is used to treat ischemic strokes and coronary heart disease (as part of complex treatment), with discirculatory encephalopathy and with cognitive abnormalities (severity - mild and moderate).
Unlike a fairly wide scope of the solution in the Mexiprim medication, Mexicoor injections are used as part of the complex for ischemic stroke, in the treatment of discirculatory encephalopathy and cognitive impairment. It is also often used from the first day to treat acute myocardial infarction. The instructions for the medicine informs patients that in patients with acute circulatory disorders of the blood vessels of the brain (unlike Mexiprim), the use of Mexico reduces the clinical manifestations of stroke.
Mexidant
Mexidant is also one of the well-known analogues. The scope of the drug is very close to the Mexiprim drug: the indications are associated with the presence of neurotic and neurosis-like conditions, circulatory disorders in the blood vessels of the brain, and cognitive impairment in elderly patients. Also, the medication is widely used for intoxication against the background of antipsychotic drugs, with withdrawal symptoms, purulent-inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity (peritonitis, pancreatic necrosis, etc.)
âMexidantâ is offered to customers in the form of capsules, coated tablets and injection.
Contraindications to the drug are characteristic for this group of drugs: hypersensitivity, childhood, pregnancy and lactation, liver and kidney failure.
Neurox
Neurox is an effective medication similar to Mexiprim. The release form of the drug is an injection (i.e., a tablet form does not exist). As with the Mexiprim preparation, indications for use are associated with intoxication of the body, the presence of vegetovascular dystonia, withdrawal symptoms, neurosis and neurosis-like conditions. This antioxidant drug is also prescribed for cognitive impairment, cerebrovascular accidents, neurocirculatory dystonia, and discirculatory encephalopathy.
In relation to all of the above medicines - "Mexicor", "Medomeksi", "Mexidant", "Mexiprim" - instructions, reviews honey. employees are not recommended in the process of treatment with these drugs to perform work associated with an increased rate of psychomotor reactions and requiring concentration.
Contraindications for Neurox are also identical to all of the above drugs.
"Cerecard"
The next well-known analogue of Mexiprim is Cerecard. The release form of the drug is a solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration. In addition to all the previously described indications for the appointment, characteristic of this group of medicines, Cerecard is used for psychosomatic diseases, for atherosclerosis of the brain, for intoxication with antipsychotics. In general, we can say that âCerecardâ has a whole range of effects on the human body: membrane-stabilizing, adaptogenic, cerebroprotective, antioxidant, nootropic. The honey drug lowers total cholesterol, inhibits platelet aggregation, and initiates the regression of atherosclerotic changes in the arteries.
Contraindications to taking "Cerecard" are similar to those of the medicines "Mexiprim", "Medomexi", "Mexicor", i.e. all of the above.
Actovegin
This drug is the most sought-after representative of the analogues of Mexiprim, belonging to the same pharmacological group. The main active ingredient of this drug is deproteinized calf hemoderivative. Belongs to the "community" of antihypoxants, stimulates the metabolism of oxygen and glucose. It is available in two forms - tablets and a solution for injection and infusion.
Unlike Mexiprim tablets, indications for use (analogues may have some differences in their effect on the human body) of the Actovegin tablet form are mainly concentrated on cerebral metabolic and circulatory disorders.
Injection solutions are prescribed for the healing of wounds and trophic ulcers, with thermal and chemical burns, in the presence of hypoxia and ischemia of various organs and their consequences.
Of the contraindications for taking Actovegin, attention should be paid to problems such as hypersensitivity to the medication. For the use of infusion solutions, the presence of heart failure (decompensation stage), pulmonary edema, fluid retention in the body, and anuria are additionally unacceptable. For patients with diabetes, the concentration of glucose in the solution should be considered.
"Preductal"
The main active ingredient of Preductal is trimetazidine dihydrochloride. The drug is an analogue of Mexiprim in belonging to the pharmacological group. It has anti-ischemic and intanginal effects and is used in cardiology, ophthalmology and otolaryngological practices. In the field of cardiology, its main purpose is the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris, either in combination or as monotherapy over a long period of time. Ophthalmologists use Preductal for the treatment of ischemic chorioretinal disorders. Otolaryngologists prescribe a drug for ischemic vestibular-cochlear abnormalities (decreased hearing acuity, dizziness, tinnitus).
The main form of release is tablets. As contraindications, the instructions for use focuses on hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, periods of gestation and lactation.
Antisten
The medication belongs to the group of antianginal drugs. Unlike the Mexiprim drug, analogues (reviews of experts and consumers confirm the information), like Antisten, have angiohypoxic, antianginal, cytoprotective, metabolic effects on the human body. The main indications for prescribing this drug are IHD, ischemic cardiomyopathy (in the complex), chorioretinal vascular abnormalities.
