The modern rhythm of life and environmental conditions increase the load on the heart. Panangin Forte helps maintain the activity of the main organ at an optimal level. This affects not only health, but also on life expectancy.
Material Content:
The composition of the drug
Panangin Forte contains magnesium aspartate (280 mg) and potassium (316 mg). They are responsible for the therapeutic effect of the drug. In 1 box of cardboard are 60 tablets and a printed instruction for the use of the medicine.
Panangin Forte tablets are potassium and magnesium preparations. The ions of these substances regulate the process of contraction of muscle fibers. These elements are especially important for the myocardium. Asparaginate helps them get into the cell, which is separated from the compound during metabolism.
In what cases is Panangin Forte prescribed
Since the drug contains magnesium and potassium ions in the role of the active components, the following are considered indications for use:
- laboratory deficiency of these compounds in the body;
- IHD, including the acute phase of myocardial infarction;
- arrhythmias, including those that occur due to excess doses of cardiac glycosides;
- heart failure of a chronic nature.
In the presence of one of the indications, Panangin Forte may become the drug of choice for the treatment of the disease. Most often, it is part of complex therapy. This is due to the severity of the condition of such patients and the need to correct cardiac abnormalities.
Instructions for use and dosage of tablets
The medicine should not be started on its own.Before starting treatment, you must visit a doctor to establish an accurate diagnosis. The drug is administered orally, the tablet is swallowed whole, along with water.
Attention! The optimal time for assimilation of Panangin Forte is after eating to prevent it from oxidizing in the stomach.
The therapeutic regimen usually corresponds to the use of 1 pc. 3 times a day. The maximum dosage is as recommended. Exceeding it is not recommended, as side effects may occur. The duration of the course of treatment is determined by a specialist based on laboratory data, complaints and a doctor’s examination.
During pregnancy and lactation
During the bearing of the child, the drug can be prescribed with great benefit for the mother, whose value is higher than the risks for the child. And if you need treatment with Panangin Forte during breastfeeding, you should transfer the baby to artificial feeding. This will ensure him safety, since the active components of the drug are able to pass into milk.
Contraindications, side effects and overdose
Since the drug acts on the heart muscle, its use has several limitations. Panangin Forte is not prescribed for the following:
- Addison's disease;
- Patient age less than 18 years;
- the presence of allergies to the components of the drug;
- dehydration;
- failure of the kidneys of a chronic and acute nature;
- erythrocyte hemolysis;
- hyperkalemia
- acute acidosis of metabolic origin;
- severe myasthenia gravis;
- shock, including cardiogenic in nature;
- hypermagnesemia;
- 1-3 degrees of atrioventricular block;
- pathology of amino acid metabolism.
If the patient has one of these conditions, he is selected for treatment with other drugs. But even with all the rules of appointment, side effects can occur. Among them are:
- the urge to vomit;
- pain at the site of the projection of the stomach (especially pronounced in patients with gallbladder inflammation and anacid gastritis);
- bouts of nausea;
- increase in the amount of magnesium ions in the blood (fading of reflexes, convulsive syndrome, drop in blood pressure, pathological breathing, thirst, unhealthy bright glow);
- atrioventricular block;
- excess blood potassium (paresthesia, diarrhea);
- pathological heart rhythm, including extrasystole.
After detecting signs of side effects, you should consult a specialist. These conditions can be life-threatening, so a visit to a medical institution should not be postponed. Overdose symptoms are also dangerous:
- excess amounts of potassium in the blood (myasthenia gravis, decreased heart rate, drowsiness, paresthesia, arrhythmia, impaired consciousness, atrioventricular block, cardiac arrest);
- an increase in magnesium concentration (decreased excitability of the neuromuscular fiber, vomiting, nausea, a drop in blood pressure, turning off deep tendon reflexes, respiratory arrest, coma).
To prevent the serious consequences of an overdose, an antidote and hemodialysis are used. This can only be done in a hospital setting. Therefore, the delay in seeking medical help can lead to irreversible pathologies of the myocardium and brain.
Analogues of the drug
Panangin Forte is used to treat heart dysfunctions. There are no drugs with equally high concentrations of active substances. But for the prevention of pathological changes in the myocardium, several drugs are suitable:
- Asparkam - is available in the form of tablets, in each of which 175 mg of potassium and magnesium aspartate, and in a box are 10, 50 or 56 pcs.;
- Panangin - tablets in a shell, inside of which are 140 mg of magnesium aspartate and 158 mg of potassium, and 50 pcs are in the package;
- Asparkam-L is a drug in the form of a liquid for intravenous injection, in 1 ml of which 10.33 mg of potassium ions and 3.37 mg of magnesium, and in a box - 10 bottles of 5 ml each.
Analogs contain fewer active components, so it is not recommended to replace the original drug with them. This requires a dose adjustment, otherwise the therapeutic effect will not be noticeable. Therefore, it is not worth making a decision on an independent change of drugs.
Panangin Forte is one of the most effective and concentrated drugs that help fill the lack of potassium and magnesium ions in the body. Due to the strength of the effect, it can provoke side effects and has a large list of contraindications. But with some pathologies of the cardiovascular system, it allows patients to feel much better, while consuming the minimum amount of drugs due to the high content of active components in Panangin Fort.
