Diakarb - a drug which is often prescribed for intracranial or elevated intraocular pressure. Typically with diakarbom asparkam administered to prevent side effects of this drug.
How does diakarb
Diakarb - is a diuretic (a diuretic), the effect of which is associated with inhibition of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, involved in the metabolic processes of carbonic acid. Diakarba diuretic effect is slight and due to the suppression action karboangibrazy in renal tissue, which leads to lower re-absorption into the blood from emerging urine sodium ions and bicarbonate. Together with sodium and potassium is displayed.
Just as a diuretic diakarb is rarely used, as there are more effective drugs of this series.
But it is often prescribed for pulmonary-cardiac insufficiency, which develops in some lung diseases such as emphysema, when blood accumulates a large amount of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate (due to the stagnation of blood in the lungs, they just do not have time to time to be displayed).
Moreover, when applied Diacarbum increased intracranial pressure, including children up to a year. Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase brain reduces the formation of cerebrospinal fluid, which in turn leads to a decrease in intracranial pressure and related symptoms, such as headache.
Increased intraocular pressure in patients receiving diakarba associated with inhibition of carbonic anhydrase of ciliary body, which reduces the secretion of aqueous humor outflow and improve it. Diakarb especially effective in acute glaucoma
Glaucoma - a perspective possible blindness
Which is accompanied by severe headaches.
What is at the same time appoint asparkam diakarbom
When taken from the body diakarba displayed a large number of sodium ions. Together with sodium and potassium is displayed that is not indifferent to the body. Potassium is vital to the cells of the whole body for proper metabolism. But especially potassium needed heart muscle (myocardium), as is involved in metabolism
Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things
in its cells. Required in this case, and magnesium, which is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and cell supplies the energy required for biochemical reactions.
Myocardium respond to elevated levels of potassium reduce anxiety and conductivity, i.e. restoration of normal cardiac rhythm. Large doses of potassium (hyperkalaemia) depress myocardial contractility, and can lead to heart failure, but side effects such asparkama typically occur when administered intravenously.
When hypokalemia (low potassium in the blood) is disturbed acid-base balance in the body. This is due to the increase in acidity (acidosis) within the cells, which leads to increased re-absorption in the kidneys from the primary urine bicarbonate alkalinity increase and blood - a general form of metabolic alkalosis.
Hypokalemia accompanied by the development of muscle weakness, lethargy, decreased performance, the appearance of cardiac arrhythmias (heart rhythm disturbances).
Asparkam - a drug which consists of potassium aspartate and magnesium aspartate. Aspartate promotes rapid transportation of potassium and magnesium to cells. Potassium is needed for restoring osmotic pressure in the cells, and magnesium, participating in carbohydrate metabolism, cell delivers the energy necessary for its operation. In addition, aksparkam promotes the excretion of sodium and increase the acidity of the blood.
Thus, asparkam compensate diakarba side effects in the form of loss of potassium ions and increase the alkalinity of the blood. It supplies the body potassium, and the energy needed for the proper functioning of the cells and reduces the increased alkalinity of the blood.
Which diseases are appointed with diakarb asparkamom
Today diakarb with asparkamom neurologists often prescribed to reduce intracranial pressure in various diseases and consequences of brain injury. Since Propafenone diakarba its diuretic effect decreases rapidly, this drug is usually prescribed intermittent two or four consecutive days with a break of a few days. Simultaneous with the appointment asparkama allows to reduce side effects to a minimum diakarba.
Ophthalmologists prescribe diakarb asparkamom with glaucoma - persistent increase in intraocular pressure.
In addition, diakarb prescribed for cardiopulmonary diseases
Heart failure - when the heart is unable to cope with the work
to remove excess fluid
How to withdraw excess fluid from the body - all sorts of ways
of light, prevention of pulmonary edema. Asparkam in this case, is indicated for the prevention of hypokalemia.
Diakarb and asparkam - the most effective combination that often helps uneventful excrete excess fluid.
