Why is the cardiomagnum not prescribed for gastritis? Because it contains aspirin! His reception has a large number of contraindications. But they do not stop gastroenterologists from prescribing these pills to their patients. Yes, Cardiomagnum has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect, it almost completely eliminates the ability of platelets to stick together, thereby preventing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. But aspirin has a negative effect on the stomach. Why?- You can answer the question by examining the order of the chemical compound's action.
The action of aspirin is based on the fact that it almost completely blocks the activity of enzymes such as prostaglandins. In the human body, these enzymes perform a dual role:
- Some are capable of provoking the development of the inflammatory process in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Other prostaglandins on the contrary, protect the gastric mucosa.
It is on such properties that all existing contraindications are constructed, which is why Cardiomagnesium is not prescribed for gastritis.
In order to reduce the negative effect of aspirin on the stomach with gastritis, another component, magnesium hydroxide, was included in the formulation. This antacid prevents the destructive effect on the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, which has acetylsalicylic acid( aspirin).By interacting with enzymes and gastric juice, magnesium hydroxide forms a dense film on the gastric mucosa, which protects the body from inflammation.
The two components work in parallel, they do not interfere with each other, each performs its immediate function very effectively. Long-term studies have shown that after ingestion in the stomach, acetylsalicylic acid is assimilated by 70% within the first 15 minutes.
Entering into a chemical reaction, it prevents the adhesion of platelets, dilutes blood, preventing the development of cardiovascular diseases. But at the same time it irritates the walls of the stomach. This circumstance explains the fact that Cardiomagnum is not prescribed for gastritis. Do not drink the drug in the presence of peptic ulcer, in the presence of bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract.
With special care to take a cardiomagnet for the treatment of the heart is necessary and for those with gastritis is in the stage of a long remission.
