Description
Cardiomagnyl (Acetylsalicylic acid) Coated Tablets 75 mg. №100 Vial
Composition
The active ingredient in Cardiomagnyl is Acetylsalicylic acid, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Mechanism of Action
Acetylsalicylic acid inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins. This inhibition results in anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, and antiplatelet effects.
Pharmacological Properties
Cardiomagnyl exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, and antiplatelet properties. It acts by irreversibly inhibiting cyclooxygenase, thereby preventing the formation of prostaglandins involved in inflammation, pain, and fever. Additionally, its antiplatelet effect is due to the inhibition of thromboxane A2 synthesis.
Indications for Use
Cardiomagnyl is indicated for the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and stroke. It is also used in the treatment of unstable angina to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity: Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to acetylsalicylic acid or any other component of Cardiomagnyl should not use this medication.
- Asthma: Individuals with asthma induced by salicylates or NSAIDs should avoid Cardiomagnyl.
- Peptic Ulcer: Patients with active peptic ulcer disease or a history of peptic ulcer should not take Cardiomagnyl.
- Severe Impairment: Cardiomagnyl is contraindicated in individuals with severe hepatic or renal impairment.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Cardiomagnyl may include gastrointestinal irritation, ulceration, and bleeding. Other adverse reactions can include hypersensitivity reactions, bronchospasm, and prolonged bleeding time.
Usage Instructions
The recommended dosage of Cardiomagnyl for adults is one tablet (75 mg) per day. The tablet should be taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably at the same time each day. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Cardiomagnyl offers the advantage of combining acetylsalicylic acid with magnesium hydroxide, providing gastrointestinal protection while maintaining the antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin. This combination reduces the risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional aspirin formulations.
Suitable Patient Groups
Cardiomagnyl is suitable for adult patients requiring antiplatelet therapy for cardiovascular protection. It is not recommended for use in children, unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider. Elderly patients should use Cardiomagnyl with caution due to an increased risk of bleeding complications.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store Cardiomagnyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the vial tightly closed to protect from moisture. Check the expiration date on the packaging and do not use the tablets after the specified date.
Packaging Description
