Composition, active substance Panangin
Inadequate intake of magnesium and potassium in the body leads to various disorders: arrhythmia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, impaired myocardial metabolism. To replenish the beneficial elements, Panangin is recommended. It includes potassium and magnesium asparaginate, as well as auxiliary excipients that do not have a therapeutic effect.
These compounds improve metabolic processes in the myocardium, regulate heart muscle contractions. And also reduce the incidence of numbness of the extremities and seizures associated with a lack of trace elements.

Another substitute is potassium orotate. It is prescribed after a heart attack, with chronic heart failure, impaired heart rhythm. Unlike Panangin, the drug helps with increased physical exertion, intoxication with diseases of the liver and gall bladder, muscle dystrophy.After use, allergic manifestations, disorders of the stool, nausea, vomiting are possible.
