Panangin: contraindications, side effects

Panangin is a combined preparation that contains magnesium and potassium salts. This drug actively regulates exchange reactions and electrolyte balance, restores metabolic processes, has antiarrhythmic effect, normalizes metabolism in the myocardium. It is thanks to this property that the drug "Panangin" has found application in the treatment of the cardiovascular system and concomitant diseases.

Mechanism of action of the drug

Complex intake of magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium ions in cells and in the extracellular space ensures normal functioning of the cardiac muscle. If the metabolism is broken in the body and there is a deficiency of magnesium and potassium ions inside the heart muscle cells, this can lead to cardiac rhythm disturbances, increased blood pressure, metabolic disorders in the myocardium, development of IHD, and an increase in cardiac toxicity Preparations - glycosides.

The drug "Panangin" gives an additional opportunity for the body to get magnesium ions to participate in the synthesis of proteins and to obtain additional energy from carbohydrates. The normal content in the cells of the heart muscle magnesium ions allows the heart muscle to contract less often. This leads to a reduction in the need for oxygen, to a reduction in angina attacks. Under the influence of the magnesium ion, small blood vessels expand and increase blood flow. Magnesium and potassium ions are vital for the functionality of the heart muscle, this is the basis for the mechanism of action of the drug "Panangin". Contraindications to taking medications are based on the activity of magnesium and potassium ions. With their large amount of this drug can not be taken.

For the treatment of heart diseases and with insufficient content of magnesium and potassium salts, Panangin is prescribed in food for patients. After all, as the main enzymes, these salts take part in the biochemical reaction for metabolism in the body of the patient.

How to take "Panangin"?

The medication in the form of tablets is made three times a day for two tablets. Preventive therapy is carried out one tablet three times a day. The course of treatment lasts 3-4 weeks. Intravenously, the drug "Panangin" is administered as a solution in droplets, at a rate of 20-25 drops per minute, once or twice daily, 300 ml.

Panangin: contraindications

Contraindications for the use of the drug are:

- Myasthenia gravis,

- severe kidney disease with impaired function,

- increased content of magnesium and potassium in the body,

- cardiac blockade,

- hemolytic anemia,

- Adrenal insufficiency,

- severe course of any disease,

- shock.

Panangin, contraindications to the use of which extend to the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding, women of childbearing age are prescribed with caution.

It is not recommended to use the drug "Panangin" during the period of application of drugs that promote the retention of potassium and magnesium in the body.

Contraindications to its use apply to patients with intolerance to sorbitol, fructose. If there is a violation of amino acid metabolism, exsicosis, hemolysis, dehydration, in the pathology of the renal system, this medication is not recommended.

The drug "Panangin": side effects

Deterioration of the intestinal mucosa, pain in the epigastrium, bleeding from the digestive system, diarrhea, lowering of blood pressure, dry mouth, nausea, pruritus, thrombosis, dizziness, sweating, asthenia - all these diseases can become side effects when using the drug "Panangin ". The appearance of hypermagnesemia and girepkalemia can trigger a rapid infusion of the drug intravenously.

In case of an overdose of the drug, cardiac arrest, paresthesia of the extremities, change of the indications on the electrocardiogram can occur. In this case, urgent use of dextrose or sodium chloride intravenously and immediate medical attention are required. In an emergency, hemodialysis and dialysis are used.
