What features does it have? Let's talk today about the price, analogues of the drug Cardiomagnola, its instructions for use, reviews of cardiologists and indications for use.
Features of the drug
Medication belongs to the category of non-narcotic anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs.
Composition Cardiomagnet
One tablet contains
- acetylsalicylic acid( 74 mg) and magnesium hydroxide( 15.2 mg), or
- 150 mg aspirin and magnesium 30.39 mg.
Dosage forms
The cardiomagnet has a tablet form, is available in glass vials of 30 and 100 tablets. The price of the drug is in the range of 100 to 300 rubles.
Pharmacological action and pharmacodynamics
- The drug has antiaggregation effect.
- Acetylsalicylic acid reduces thromboxane A and prostaglandin, as well as inhibits cyclooxygenase.
- In a large dosage it has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect, and in small amounts has antiplatelet effect.
Magnesium hydroxide is intended to protect the gastric membrane from the effects of the main component of the Cardiomagnet. It is absorbed in small amounts in the intestine. In its walls it is modified into salicylate, which is an active metabolite.
Pharmacokinetics
After consumption in the gastrointestinal tract, acetylsalicylic acid is absorbed by 70%, but the bioavailability is variable and in each case it is determined individually. Hydrolysis in the intestine, blood plasma and liver to salicylic acid occurs very quickly( up to 15 minutes).The bioavailability of acetylsalicylic acid when it is changed by enzymes to salicylate is 100%.
At high dosages, the suction speed is somewhat reduced. The magnesium contained in the preparation does not affect bioavailability in any way.
For prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, our readers advise the drug "NORMALIFE".This is a natural remedy that affects the cause of the disease, completely preventing the risk of getting a heart attack or stroke. NORMALIFE has no contraindications and begins to act within a few hours after its use. The effectiveness and safety of the drug has been repeatedly proven by clinical studies and long-term therapeutic experience.

- The blood system: eosinophilia, anemia, lowering of platelet aggregation, thrombocytopenia, high risk of nasal bleeding, neutropenia, agranulocytosis. Especially large is the risk of such complications when using large doses.
- Sensory organs : dose-dependent reversible hearing loss, ringing in the ears.
- Digestive system .On this side, a particularly large list of side effects. The most common: problems with stool, stomatitis, reflux, perforation, nausea, ulcerative colitis, esophagitis, vomiting, dyspeptic phenomena, erosive phenomena, irritable bowel syndrome.
