Pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of medicines

It consists of the main two active ingredients Panangin Forte. The instruction notes that the drug can not be used without prescribing a doctor.

Magnesium and potassium cations play an important role in the preparation. They are involved in the work of many enzymes, they take a direct part in the creation of inter- and intracellular structures, macromolecules of special communication. Affect the muscle contractility. The contraction of the myocardium depends on the proportion of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium ions.

Endogenous asparaginate acts as a conductor of ions, because it is similar to human cells. There is a dissociation of its salts, after which ions in the composition of other compounds penetrate into the cell.

Aspartic acid potassium and magnesium improve the activity of the myocardium, and their deficiency can cause severe degree of arterial hypertension, arrhythmia, coronary atherosclerosis, metabolic processes in the myocardium.

In the composition of "Panangin Forte" the active substances are twice as large as in the usual "Panangin".

Asparticates of potassium and magnesium are actively absorbed in the walls of the intestine, especially in the small intestine. They are excreted through the kidneys.

The medicine "Panangin Forte": application

The drug is used to compensate for the lack of potassium and magnesium together with other drugs for ischemic heart diseases, including acute myocardial infarction. It is often prescribed for chronic heart failure. Indications for use are violations of the heart rhythm, this also applies to arrhythmias, which is caused by an overdose with the use of cardiac glycosides.

Contraindications to use

It is necessary to take into account all contraindications before using tablets "Panangin Forte". The instructions for use contain detailed information about when you can not drink this drug.

As a rule, medicine is not prescribed if there is excessive sensitivity to the active substances of the drug and its secondary components. It is forbidden to apply the drug in case of renal failure in acute or chronic form. Contraindication to use is hypermagnesia and hyperkalemia, impaired metabolism of amino acids, as well as Addison's disease. Do not use "Panangin Forte" in case of atrioventricular blockade of I-III degree, if there is shock, including cardiogenic, and with low arterial pressure. Do not prescribe the drug for myasthenia gravis in a severe stage of development, hemolysis and acidosis. Do not apply the drug to patients in a state of degradation, as well as to persons under 18 years of age, since the safety and efficacy of the drug in this case is not confirmed by clinical trials.

Women during pregnancy can use the medicine in the case when the potential benefit to the mother's health is several times greater than the estimated risk to the fetus.

Potassium and magnesium asparaginate has the ability to penetrate into breast milk, so during treatment with the drug "Panangin Forte" breast-feeding should be interrupted.

Dosing and Administration

Should be taken only after consultation with the doctor tablets "Panangin Forte." Instructions for use notes that the drug is consumed orally. Pills swallow whole, without chewing and washing with water. The medicine should be drunk after eating. This is because the acidic stomach environment reduces its effectiveness.

Side effects and overdose

It is necessary to consider all the side effects when taking the medicine "Panangin Forte". The instruction describes in detail the negative phenomena that can occur with prolonged and improper use of the drug.

When using the drug in patients, there may be a vomiting reflex, nausea, burning and discomfort in the epigastric region. In some cases, there is atrioventricular blockade, as well as paradoxical symptoms, which is expressed in an increase in the number of extrasystoles. The intake of tablets can cause hyperkalemia and hypermagnesemia, which are manifested in paresthesia, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. There is also reddening of the skin of the face, thirst appears, worries about low blood pressure. Sometimes hyporeflexia and respiratory depression are observed. Cramps may be disturbing.

An overdose of a drug is expressed in the manifestation of signs of hyperkalemia, which can be accompanied by excessive fatigue, a violation of the rhythm of the heart, paresthesia, myasthenia gravis, confusion.

Abuse of this medication can provoke hypermagnesemia. This decrease in neuromuscular excitability, gag reflex, lethargy, a significant lowering of blood pressure.

A sharp increase in the number of magnesium ions in the blood causes depression of the tendon reflexes, can provoke someone or paralysis of the whole body.

In all of the above cases, symptomatic treatment is performed. Usually this is the introduction of calcium chloride into the vein at a rate of 100 mg / min. If necessary, hemodialysis is performed.

special instructions

During treatment, patients with hyperkalemia should be monitored continuously and the level of potassium in the blood should be monitored.

With the simultaneous use of potassium-sparing diuretics such as Triamteren or Spironolactone, as well as co-administered treatment with beta-blockers, heparin, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, cyclosporine, nonsteroidal drugs, whose action is directed to the removal of the inflammatory process, the likelihood of hyperkalemia increases.

Complex therapy with potassium in combination with glucocorticosteroids removes hypokalemia caused by the effects of the last drugs.

Potassium reduces side effects from the use of cardiac glycosides. Increases the negative dromo- and butmotropic effects of antiarrhythmic medications.

Magnesium in the composition of the drug "Panangin Forte" reduces the effectiveness of the effects of tetracycline, neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B.

Anesthetics increase the oppressive properties of drugs with magnesium on the nervous system. Co-administration with succinyl chloride, Atrakurium, suxamethonium and decamethonium increases musculoskeletal blockade. Calcitriol increases the amount of magnesium in the blood, and drugs with calcium reduce the result from the use of drugs with magnesium.

Medications that have astringent and enveloping properties, reduce the absorption of magnesium and potassium aspartate in the gastrointestinal environment. When they are used together in therapy, you need to observe a certain interval of intake (3 hours) between the use of "Panangin Forte" with the above medicines.

Analogues

If necessary, you can always replace "Panangin Forte". The analogs are

• «Aspagin».
• Asparks.
• Potassium and magnesium asparaginate.
• "Pamaton".
• "Panangin".

To avoid negative consequences, you should not replace one medicine with another yourself, as such decisions should only be made by a doctor.
