Kratal - a drug, which contains extracts of hawthorn fruits and motherwort, as well as the amino acid taurine. Kratal positive effect on the cardiovascular system, so it can be used in diseases. The drug comes in tablet form.

How does Kratal

Kratal mechanism of action associated with the basic properties of the components. Hawthorn fruit extract has a tonic effect on the myocardium (heart muscle), reduces the excitability of the central nervous system and improves blood circulation in the vessels of the heart and brain. Motherwort extract has a calming effect, lowers blood pressure, reduces heart rate. Taurine improves energy processes in the tissues and reduces symptoms of cardiac glycoside intoxication.

Kratal increases the force of contraction of cardiac muscle, resulting in improved perfusion of organs and tissues. It expands the coronary arteries (the vessels that feed the heart), resulting in angina attacks against its reception occur less frequently. Also, the drug helps to normalize heart rate and blood pressure stabilizes.

Kratal has antioxidant effect, that is, protects cells from free radical damage. The drug prevents platelets from sticking together and form blood clots. If it is used in conjunction with cardiac glycosides, it reduces symptoms of intoxication by these means.

Kratal improves mood and eliminates his swing and irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper It increases the ability to work. It has a calming effect, which is why patients during treatment is not recommended to drive a car and other mechanisms that could be potentially dangerous.

The components of this drug is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and from there enter the bloodstream. Then, with a current Kratal evenly distributed to all tissues, which exerts its effects. The drug is excreted from the body mainly in the urine.

Indications and contraindications for use

Kratal administered in a combination treatment of conditions such as:

• Cardiopsychoneurosis (NDC) - a set of disorders of the cardiovascular system, which arise due to violation of the neuroendocrine regulation. NCD is shown a variety of symptoms, the most common of which are pain in the heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet , Headache, palpitations, decreased performance, lethargy. While taking Kratal these symptoms are significantly better or disappear.
• Coronary artery disease, the main manifestation of which is angina (oppressive attacks, burning, compressive chest pain). The reason for this condition is the lack of blood flow to the heart muscle of coronary vessels. Because of the myocardium does not receive the necessary amount of oxygen, resulting in the disturbed metabolic processes it and accumulate toxic substances (lactic acid, pyruvic acid and the like) in an excess amount. In most coronary vasoconstriction occurs due to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in them. Kratal expanding lumen of blood vessels that nourish the heart, so it gets the right amount of blood even when the physical and emotional stress, when the demand for oxygen increases.
• Hypertensive heart disease - a disease which is characterized by a persistent increase in blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing? . The constant emotional stress - one of the main reasons that lead both to the development of this disease, and to the emergence of hypertensive crisis (one of its complications). Kratal due to its calming effect reduces the effect of this factor. The drug is also to some extent reduces vascular tone, normalizing blood pressure.
• Postradiation syndrome - a condition that occurs when human exposure to ionizing radiation.

Hypersensitivity of the components Kratal is the only contraindication to its acceptance. No information about the possibility of the appointment of the drug to pregnant women, nursing mothers and children as clinical studies involving these groups of patients have not been conducted.

How to receive

Kratal increases the effects of drugs that are used for these diseases in the first place. These medications include nitrates, which are intended for the treatment of coronary heart disease, calcium antagonists and β-blockers (agents that reduce blood pressure), antihypoxants and neuroprotective agents (agents that limit damage to the brain tissue, resulting from lack of oxygen). This should be considered when selecting the dosage of drugs.

Kratal appointed course, the duration of which is three to four weeks. It should be taken before a meal, one or two tablets three times a day.

Side effects and symptoms of overdose

Some patients because of increased sensitivity to the drug can develop allergic reactions. In rare cases, there diarrheal disorders: abdominal pain Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms , Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (loose stools).

In overdose Kratal above symptoms increase, somnolence. In such a situation it is necessary to wash out the stomach and in the future to stop taking the drug. If signs of overdose are saved, you should seek medical attention.

Kratal - a drug that will be effective in many diseases of the heart and blood vessels. When neurocirculatory dystonia it can be used independently, but with hypertension and coronary heart disease is administered together with essential drugs.

Mildronat - a drug that is able to restore the metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in cells of human tissues, including regain their energy balance. These properties allow the use mildronat a variety of diseases and conditions, including under high loads, for example in sport.

How does the human body mildronat

Mildronat (INN - meldonium) is a tool that improves metabolism and energy supply of tissues. Mildronat produced in various dosage forms, as it is used in a variety of diseases and simple to maintain disability. Formulations mildronata - capsule and syrup for oral administration and a 10% solution for injection in ampoules.

Action mildronata is that it blocks the passage through the cell membranes of long chain fatty acids, preventing thereby the accumulation of cells in the toxic metabolites of these acids. If impaired blood flow and tissue cells loses its oxygen mildronat restores balance between delivery of the cells and its oxygen consumption, eliminates disturbances transport and energy substances stimulate glucose decomposition Glucose: The energy source   to produce energy (glycolysis), which does not require supplemental oxygen.

When applying any dosage form mildronata it enters first into the blood, and then the cells of tissues, which decomposes in the field of hepatic metabolic products (metabolites), and after 3 - 6 hours excreted in urine.

Which diseases appoint mildronat

Mildronat able to protect the heart muscle cells from oxygen deficiency. This occurs by increasing the blood flow in the ischemic focus and slowing down the process of necrosis (dying off) of heart muscle cells. Under the influence of mildronata shortened recovery period after myocardial infarction. With cardiovascular disease it causes the heart muscle to contract more strongly and rarely, increasing the portability of the heart muscle, physical activity, and reducing the frequency of angina attacks.

Also mildronat protects against various impacts and brain cells. For example, in acute cerebral circulatory disorders, circulatory disorders in the brain cells against atherosclerosis when administered mildronata suffer much less, because it promotes blood flow to the site of circulatory disorders.

The positive impact mildronat has on the retina and blood vessels of the fundus, thereby preventing severe visual impairment. If any violations of metabolism in cells (which are all accompanied by acute and chronic diseases) mildronat reduces the accumulation of toxic products of metabolism in the cells of the tissues of various organs, protecting them from damage.

At high physical and neuropsychiatric loads mildronat restores the balance between the delivery of oxygen to tissues and cells of the need for it, thereby increasing the body's resistance to stress and thus removing the feeling of fatigue. After surgery, it contributes to a more rapid recovery of the tissues.

Mildronat positive effect on immune cells - the basis of cellular immunity in them as well as in cells of other tissue normalization of metabolic processes that enhances the body's defenses. In chronic obstructive lung disease (chronic bronchitis, asthma, etc.). Mildronata use as part of comprehensive treatment helps to improve the local cellular immunity (in the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract).

In chronic alcoholism, drug addiction and substance abuse Substance abuse - as a child back to life?   detachment from material which evolved addictive and addiction accompanied by severe disorders of the various organ systems, but the most affected brain cells and liver. Mildronat restores the state of the cells of these organs and contributes to the rapid relief of withdrawal symptoms.

This should not be used mildronat

Mildronat generally well tolerated, but in some cases during the treatment may occur heartbeat, low blood pressure, agitation, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and allergic reactions. Adverse reactions are rare, nevertheless, they are.

Contraindications for use mildronata are any central nervous system diseases, which are accompanied by increased intracranial pressure, pregnancy, breast-feeding Breastfeeding - a personal choice   feeding, child up to 18 years (capsules and solution for injection) and hypersensitivity to the drug. Teenagers from 12 to 18 years mildronat administered in syrup.

Mildronat - a drug that has a positive effect on metabolism in the cells of the tissues of various organs.
