What time of day to give injections. Actovegin when to prick in the morning or in the evening. Which is better: Cavinton or Mexidol

Hello. The attending physician prescribed mexidol injections. And she pointed out what must be done in the morning. The nurse has been busy since morning. What to do?

Expert answer

Hello. The instructions do not indicate any specific time of day for the administration of this drug.

I think that the recommendation of the attending physician to give injections in the morning is justified by the fact that patients often feel a surge of vigor after an injection of Mexidol. This can be explained by the fact that due to the antioxidant and antihypoxic action of mexidol, the activity of brain cells increases. Although this is more common in the elderly, it can also occur in young patients who are sensitive to the drug.

Based on this action of Mexidol, the use of Mexidol in the morning is really recommended. However, there are no strict guidelines for the time of day.
So if you can't get shots in the morning, try to take them at lunchtime and at least don't take them in the evening. After all, it will not be entirely comfortable if you feel alert and active at night instead of going to bed.

B vitamins are responsible for the processes of hematopoiesis, the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and the normal functioning of nerve fibers in the human body. In order to make up for their shortage, Milgamma is used: intramuscularly or orally (Milgamma is not administered intravenously). Intramuscular administration of Milgamma allows you to quickly eliminate pain, since with this method of drug administration, the necessary therapeutic concentrations are reached already 10-15 minutes after the manipulation.

Despite the harmlessness of the drug, there are some recommendations on how to inject Milgamma correctly. Therefore, before starting use, it is necessary to contact a qualified specialist of the Yusupov hospital, who will answer all the questions, the most frequent of which are: “How many times a year can you inject Milgamma?”, “What time of day is it better to inject Milgamma - when is it better to inject Milgamma: in the morning or in the evening?”, “Which syringe to inject Milgamma?”, “How often can Milgamma be injected intramuscularly?” etc.

Why inject Milgamma?

described medicinal product used to treat a large number of syndromes and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system:

• plexopathies;
• neuralgia;
• paresis facial nerve;
• ganglionite;
• neuritis;
• shingles;
• neuropathy;
• retrobulbar neuritis;
• diabetic polyneuropathy;
• nocturnal convulsive muscle contraction;
• radiculopathy;
• muscular-tonic syndrome;
• alcoholic polyneuropathy;
• lumboischialgia;
• myalgia;
• herpesvirus infections that affect the joints;
• polyneuropathy.

It must be understood that Milgamma can only be used while taking other, more potent drugs, this must be taken into account before injecting Milgamma intramuscularly. The use of this vitamin solution helps to improve blood microcirculation, activate hematopoietic processes, stabilize the functions and conductive abilities of the nervous system.

In addition, Milgamma is an excellent general tonic, which is prescribed to people with a lack of B vitamins.

Who should not use Milgamma?

The drug Milgamma is contraindicated in persons with high sensitivity to its constituent components, as well as those suffering from decompensated heart failure.

Benefits of Intravenous Milgamma

Both the oral form and the intramuscular solution have the same composition and mode of action. Intramuscular injections of the drug are used, most often, for patients with severe pain syndrome, because due to the introduction of the drug directly into the muscle, a more accelerated effect is achieved.

Conducted pharmacological studies have shown that the maximum level of therapeutic concentration of the active ingredients of the drug Milgamma is observed already 15 minutes after intramuscular injection.

Milgamma, released in the form for oral administration, begins to exert its effect only half an hour after ingestion. In addition, for maintenance therapy, one injection every two to three days is sufficient, while taking tablets should be daily.

Considering the foregoing, we can conclude that the advantages of using Milgamma intramuscularly lie in the faster achievement of the effect, which is especially important when severe pain, since Milgamma injection is prescribed most often in these cases.

Milgamma (injections): how many days to inject Milgamma?

Before starting therapy with this drug, it is imperative to consult with a neuropathologist who will decide how often Milgamma injections can be given, when to inject - in the morning or in the evening and select the required dosage. For qualified advice, you can contact one of the leading centers in Moscow - the Yusupov Hospital.

The duration of the therapeutic course of Milgamma for persons with severe pain can be from five to ten days. Injections are given daily, the daily dosage is 2 ml. After the acute inflammatory process subsides and the intensity of pain decreases, Milgamma Compositum is administered orally. However, in some cases, the doctor may recommend continuing intramuscular administration of the drug, but not more than two to three times a week.

Milgamma (shots): how to inject the drug?

Milgamma injections are quite painful, so there are special rules for the procedure, the observance of which will significantly reduce the discomfort of the patient:

• for intramuscular injection of Milgamma, the thinnest needles should be used, since the oily consistency of the solution makes manipulation difficult;
• to reduce the risk of needle injury to the nerve bundles and blood vessels, it should be injected into the muscle as deeply as possible. Therefore, the choice must be stopped on the longest needle;
• Slow and smooth pressure must be applied to the syringe plunger. The drug should be administered for about one and a half minutes, which will significantly reduce pain;
• after the injection, the patient is recommended to do a light massage at the injection site, so that the solution is more quickly distributed into muscle tissue and the likelihood of hematoma formation will decrease;
• in the event of a lump in the injection area, you can make a warm compress or lotions based on magnesia.

Is it possible to inject Milgamma with oncology?

The opinion that Milgamma injections can be given for cancer is deeply wrong. This drug can only worsen the patient's condition. This is due to the fact that the main components of Milgamma are B vitamins, which can help accelerate the growth of malignant cells and significantly aggravate the problem.

In order to eliminate the pain caused by the development malignant neoplasm, the use of completely different drugs is prescribed.

The benefits of Milgamma for cancer patients are minimal, while the harm caused by the drug in this situation can be quite significant.

Is it possible to inject Milgamma during menstruation and pregnancy?

Milgamma can be used on any day of a woman's menstrual cycle without any effect on it.

Due to the fact that there is currently no sufficient information on the effect of Milgamma components on intrauterine development of the fetus, the drug is not prescribed to pregnant women.

Is it possible to inject Milgamma with endometriosis?

The drug Milgamma is often part of the treatment of endometriosis and is often used in gynecological practice. How much Milgamma can be injected with endometriosis and in what dosages - the gynecologist decides, in accordance with the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient.

Is it possible to inject Milgamma in the evening?

Many patients wonder what time of day it is better to inject Milgamma - morning or evening? Since the drug is inherently a vitamin complex, from a therapeutic point of view, it is more logical to give an injection in the morning, when the intensity of metabolic processes is higher. However, in cases where Milgamma is part of complex treatment along with other drugs for intramuscular injection, the sequence of their administration is established by the attending physician.

special instructions

If Milgamma was accidentally administered intravenously, the patient should be under the supervision of a physician who will prescribe symptomatic therapy for adverse symptoms.

Data on how the intake of Milgamma affects the ability to drive Vehicle and work with precise mechanisms are absent.

Reception of Milgamma should be prescribed only by a qualified specialist who is familiar with the characteristics of the patient's body, his diagnosis, and a history of diseases. He selects the required dosage and decides how much to inject Milgamma.

In the Yusupov hospital, you can get advice from a competent specialist who will tell you how often to inject Milgamma, and also prescribe a comprehensive examination to identify contraindications to the drug. Diagnostic studies are performed on modern high-precision equipment, which is equipped with the Yusupov hospital.

All these conditions are successfully stopped by the drug Mexidol. The question of when to inject Mexidol in the morning or in the evening worries many.

Brief description of the drug

Mexidol is prescribed by a neuropathologist or cardiologist to treat diseases of the brain, heart and nervous system.

It perfectly helps, both with mild vegetovascular disorders, and with serious pathologies:

• asthenic syndrome on the background of alcohol dependence;
• acute cerebrovascular accident;
• ischemic heart disease;
• stroke and heart attack;
• severe intoxication with neuroleptics;
• neurosis-like and psychosomatic disorders;
• oxygen starvation of tissues of different etiologies (hypoxia).

It is actively used during the recovery period after traumatic brain injuries and purulent inflammation bodies abdominal cavity. Approved for use by almost everyone, except for children (under 12 years old) and pregnant women. It is well tolerated, with the rare exception of individual intolerance to the components.

Mexidol is produced in tablets and injections, which allows the use different ways- orally, intramuscularly, intravenously. At the same time, it can be administered by jet and drip, depending on the severity of the condition. Doctors are inclined to believe that it is better to inject Mexidol, for a more systemic and faster effect.

When is it better to inject Mexidol

The injection form of the drug is available as a concentrated solution in ampoules. 1 ml of the drug contains 50 mg of the active substance (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate). Universal instructions application does not exist. In each individual clinical case, an individual treatment regimen and course duration are selected:

• with mild vegetative disorders, an injection of Mexidol is given intramuscularly at a dosage of kg per day for 2-4 weeks;
• severe conditions associated with dysfunction cerebral circulation, require drip or jet administration of the drug in the amount of mg 2-4 times a day

Most experts agree that Mexidol should be injected in the morning, that is, in the morning. There are good reasons for this recommendation. The drug has a tonic effect, it invigorates and activates the work of cardio-vascular system. If you inject before bed, it will be difficult to fall asleep. Therefore, with a single use, it is advisable to inject in the morning. If the treatment regimen involves dividing into several doses, then the evening procedure should be carried out a few hours before bedtime.

Mexidol is used exclusively as directed by a doctor, so the nuances over the time of injection are discussed individually.

Description of the tablet form of Mexidol

biconvex tablets, round shape, covered with a shell, the color of which can vary from white to white with a slightly creamy tint.

pharmachologic effect

The medicine Mexidol belongs to pharmacological group drugs that affect the nervous system.

In addition, it has a pronounced stress-protective effect (that is, it increases the body's resistance to stress), improves memory, has the ability to prevent or stop seizures, and also reduces the concentration of certain lipid fractions (in particular, low-density lipoprotein) in various tissues. and body fluids.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacological properties of Mexidol are due to the activity of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, which is part of it.

According to Wikipedia, this substance belongs to the category of drugs that prevent or slow down the processes of peroxidation of membrane lipids in cells.

Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate belongs to the class of 3-hydroxypyridines and is a pyridine derivative of the general formula C5H4_nN(OH)n.

The substance has the form of colorless crystals, which are characterized by the ability to easily dissolve in ethanol and acetone, moderately soluble in water and limitedly in diethyl ether, benzene and naphtha.

The mechanism of action of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate is determined by its antioxidant and membrane-protective properties.

Acting as an antioxidant, it slows down and suppresses oxidative chain reactions involving active free radicals represented by peroxide (RO2*), alkoxy (RO*) and alkyl (R*) forms of oxygen.

Due to this, against the background of the use of Mexidol:

• the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) increases;
• indicators of the ratio of proteins and lipids increase;
• the viscosity of cell membranes decreases and, accordingly, their fluidity increases.

The drug regulates and normalizes the activity of membrane-bound enzymes (in particular, the main enzyme of the cholinergic system of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme of the lyase class of adenylate cyclase and calcium-independent PDE (phosphodiesterase)), as well as the activity of receptor complexes (for example, the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex).

• membrane-binding enzymes and receptor complexes have an increased ability to bind with sligands;
• supported normal performance structural and functional organization of biological membranes;
• the processes of transport of neurotransmitters are normalized;
• indicators of synaptic transmission of neurotransmitters improve.

Tablets and injections of Mexidol can increase the body's resistance to the influence of various aggressive factors and pathological conditions associated with oxygen deficiency.

The drug effectively eliminates the symptoms caused by oxygen starvation, state of shock, ischemia, circulatory disorders of the brain, as well as symptoms of general poisoning of the body with drugs (in particular, antipsychotics) or alcohol.

After a course of treatment with Mexidol (intravenously, intramuscularly or orally):

• the content of dopamine in the brain increases;
• the course of metabolic processes in the brain is normalized;
• cerebral blood supply is normalized;
• improves blood microcirculation;
• rheological parameters of blood improve;
• reduced platelet aggregation;
• the membranes of post-cellular blood structures (erythrocytes and platelets) are stabilized during hemolysis;
• indicators of the content of total cholesterol are reduced;
• indicators of LDL content are reduced;
• the severity of symptoms of pancreatogenic toxemia (general blood poisoning) decreases;
• the severity of the syndrome of endogenous intoxication due to acute pancreatitis decreases;
• the compensatory activity of aerobic glycolysis is enhanced;
• under conditions of oxygen starvation, the degree of inhibition of oxidative processes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle) decreases;
• the content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphoric acid (creatine phosphate) increases;
• synthesis of energy by cellular mitochondria is activated;
• cell membranes are stabilized;
• the course of metabolic processes in the areas of the myocardium affected by ischemia is normalized;
• the area of ​​the necrosis zone decreases;
• the electrical activity of the heart and its contractility are restored and improved (in patients with reversible type of cardiac dysfunction);
• blood flow increases in ischemic areas of the myocardium;
• the severity of the consequences of the reperfusion syndrome caused by acute coronary insufficiency decreases.

Treatment with Mexidol intravenously or intramuscularly allows preserving ganglion cells, as well as nerve fibers sensitive cells of the retina in patients with progressive forms of neuropathy caused by ischemic disease and hypoxia.

At the same time, patients have a significant increase in the functional activity of the retina and optic nerve, and visual acuity increases.

The anti-stress effect of treatment with Mexidol tablets is expressed as:

• normalization of behavior after stress;
• disappearance of symptoms of somatovegetative disorders;
• normalization of sleep and wake cycles;
• restoration (partial or complete) of impaired learning abilities;
• memory recovery;
• reducing the severity of dystrophic and morphological changes in different parts of the brain.

Mexidol is also a remedy that effectively eliminates the symptoms that occur during withdrawal conditions.

It removes the manifestations of intoxication caused by alcohol withdrawal (both neurological and neurotoxic), restores behavioral disorders, normalizes vegetative functions, removes or reduces the severity of cognitive impairments provoked by prolonged alcohol use or a sharp rejection of it.

Pharmacokinetics

After intramuscular injection, the active substance of Mexidol is determined in the blood plasma for another four hours. The time during which the maximum plasma concentration is reached is from 0.45 to 0.5 hours.

Mexidol is quickly absorbed from the bloodstream into various tissues and organs and is also quickly excreted from the body: the average retention time of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate varies from 0.7 to 1.3 hours.

Biotransformation of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate occurs in the liver. As a result, phosphate-3-hydroxypyridine, glucuron conjugates and other metabolic products are formed. Moreover, some of them are characterized by pharmacological activity.

The drug is excreted mainly in the urine and mainly in the glucuron-conjugated form. A small amount of it is displayed unchanged.

According to the annotation to Mexidol, there are no significant differences in the pharmacokinetic profiles of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate when taking a single dose and undergoing course treatment.

After oral administration of the tablet, Mexidol ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate is rapidly absorbed, rapidly distributed in various tissues and organs, and rapidly excreted from the body.

4.9 to 5.2 hours after taking the pill active substance is no longer found in the patient's plasma.

After biotransformation in the liver, five metabolites are formed by conjugation with glucuronic acid. In particular, phosphate-3-hydroxypyridine, which then decomposes under the influence of alkaline phosphatase into 3-hydroxypyridine and phosphoric acid.

In addition, a pharmacologically active substance is formed in large quantities, which is determined in the patient's urine even hours after taking the drug, two glucuron conjugates and a substance that is excreted from the body in large quantities with urine.

The half-life of Mexidol after oral administration varies from 2 to 2.6 hours.

The substance is excreted mainly in the urine in the form of metabolites (this process is especially intense in the first four hours after ingestion), and only a small part of it is excreted unchanged.

Indicators of urinary excretion of the drug in unchanged form and in the form of metabolic products are characterized by individual variability.

Indications for the use of Mexidol

Indications for the use of Mexidol injections (intravenously or intramuscularly):

• acute circulatory disorders in the brain;
• traumatic brain injury (also injections of the drug are prescribed to relieve or reduce the severity of the effects of traumatic brain injury);
• slowly progressive insufficiency cerebral blood supply(encephalopathy);
• syndrome of neurocirculatory (vegetovascular) dystonia;
• mild forms of disorders of cognitive function of an atherosclerotic nature of origin;
• anxiety disorders that accompany neurotic and neurosis-like (pseudo-neurotic) states;
• acute myocardial infarction (the drug is prescribed from the first days in the form of droppers or intramuscular injections as part of a complex of therapeutic measures);

• alcohol withdrawal syndrome, characterized by a predominance of pseudoneurotic and vegetative-vascular disorders;
• symptoms of intoxication of the body with antipsychotic agents;
• flowing into acute form purulent inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity (including necrotizing pancreatitis or peritonitis; the drug is prescribed as part of a complex of therapeutic measures).

Indications for the use of Mexidol tablets:

• effects acute disorders blood circulation in the brain, including the consequences of TIA (transient ischemic attack), as well as a prophylactic agent at the stage of decompensation of diseases caused by impaired cerebral circulation;
• minor craniocerebral injuries and their consequences;

• ischemic disease(as part of a complex of therapeutic measures);
• alcohol withdrawal syndrome, manifested mainly in the form of pseudoneurotic, vegetative-vascular and post-withdrawal disorders;
• symptoms of poisoning with antipsychotic drugs;
• asthenic syndrome.

Also, an indication for the use of the drug in tablet form is the presence of a symptom complex in the patient, due to the impact of stress factors on the body.

In addition, as a preventive measure, Mexidol is indicated for patients who have a high risk of developing somatic diseases due to exposure to extreme factors and stress.

The mechanism of action of Mexidol is determined by its antihypoxic, antioxidant and membrane-protective properties. Therefore, to the questions “What Mexidol tablets are from?” and “When is Mexidol solution effective?”, experts answer that the most appropriate and successful is the appointment of the drug for:

Contraindications for Mexidol

Contraindications to the appointment of the drug are:

Side effects, which in some cases may occur after taking Mexidol in the form of a solution:

Side effects that are potentially possible after taking Mexidol tablets include:

Also, the drug sometimes increases or decreases arterial pressure, provokes emotional reactivity, distal hyperhidrosis, impaired coordination and the process of falling asleep.

Instructions for use Mexidol: method and dosage

Mexidol injections, instructions for use. How to administer intramuscularly and intravenously

The drug in the form of a solution for injection is intended for intramuscular or intravenous administration (by jet or drip infusion). If Mexidol is prescribed for intravenous administration, the contents of the ampoule should be diluted in isotonic solution sodium chloride.

Jet infusion involves the introduction of a solution for five to seven minutes, the drip method is administered at a rate of forty to sixty drops per minute. At the same time, the maximum allowable dose should not exceed 1200 mg per day.

Before injecting intramuscularly or injecting the drug intravenously, you should read the instructions. The optimal dosage of Mexidol in ampoules is selected individually in each case, depending on the patient's diagnosis and the nature of the course of his disease.

Dosing of Mexidol in the form of a solution

Elimination of the consequences of traumatic brain injury: the drug is administered by drip at a dose of 200 to 500 mg. The frequency of injections is from 2 to 4, the duration of the course of treatment is from 10 to 15 days.

Slowly progressive insufficiency of cerebral blood supply at the stage of decompensation: the drug is administered by drip or jet method once or twice a day for two weeks.

The dose is selected individually and varies from 200 to 500 mg. Further treatment involves the appointment of intramuscular injections: over the next 14 days, the patient is administered from 100 to 250 mg of Mexidol per day.

As a prophylactic against dyscirculatory encephalopathy: the drug is prescribed for injection into the muscle, daily dose ranges from 400 to 500 mg, the frequency of injections is 2, the duration of the therapeutic course is two weeks.

Mild Cognitive Impairment in Patients old age and anxiety disorders: the solution is injected into the muscle, the daily dose varies from 100 to 300 mg, the duration of the therapeutic course is from two weeks to one month.

Acute myocardial infarction (in combination with other therapeutic measures): the drug is injected into a muscle or vein for two weeks in combination with traditional measures that are taken to treat patients with myocardial infarction.

In the first five days of the therapeutic course, the drug is recommended to be administered intravenously by drip infusion, then you can switch to intramuscular injections (injections continue to be given for nine days).

With the infusion method of administration, Mexidol is diluted in an isotonic sodium chloride solution or in a 5% glucose solution. The recommended volume is from 100 to 150 ml, the infusion time can vary from half an hour to an hour and a half.

In cases where this is necessary, the introduction of a solution by drip is allowed (in this case, the duration of the infusion should be at least five minutes).

Both intravenously and intramuscularly, the drug should be administered three times a day with an interval of eight hours. The optimal dose is from 6 to 9 mg per day for every kilogram of the patient's body weight. Respectively, single dose is 2 or 3 mg per kilogram of body weight.

In this case, the maximum allowable daily dose should not exceed 800 mg, and a single dose.

Open-angle glaucoma (for various stages of the disease in combination with other therapeutic measures): the drug is administered intramuscularly for two weeks, the daily dose varies from 100 to 300 mg, the frequency of injections is from 1 to 3 during the day.

Alcohol withdrawal: method of administration - drip infusion or intramuscular injection, the daily dose varies from 200 to 500 mg, the frequency of injections is 2 or 3 per day. The duration of the therapeutic course is from 5 to 7 days.

Intoxication with antipsychotic drugs: route of administration - intravenously, daily dose - from 200 to 500 mg, duration of the therapeutic course - from one to two weeks.

Acute purulent inflammatory processes of the abdominal cavity: the drug is indicated for use as on the first day before surgical intervention and on the first day after the operation. Method of administration - intravenous drip and intramuscularly.

The dose is selected depending on the severity and form of the disease, the extent of the lesion, the features clinical picture. It ranges from 300 mild form necrotizing pancreatitis) up to 800 mg (in case of extremely severe course of the disease) per day.

Cancellation of the drug should be carried out gradually and only upon reaching a stable positive clinical and laboratory effect.

Mexidol tablets, instructions for use

Mexidol tablets are intended for oral administration. The daily dose varies from 375 to 750 mg, the multiplicity of doses is 3 (one or two tablets three times a day). The maximum allowable dose is mg per day, which corresponds to 6 tablets.

The duration of the course of treatment depends on the disease and the patient's response to the prescribed treatment. As a rule, it is from two weeks to one and a half months. In the case when the drug is prescribed to relieve the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, the duration of the course is from five to seven days.

In this case, abrupt withdrawal of the drug is unacceptable: treatment is stopped gradually, reducing the dose within two to three days.

At the beginning of the course, the patient is prescribed to take one or two tablets per dose once or twice a day. The dose is gradually increased until a positive clinical effect(at the same time, it should not exceed 6 tablets per day).

The duration of the therapeutic course in patients diagnosed with coronary disease is from one and a half to two months. If necessary, according to the doctor's prescription, a second course can be prescribed. Optimal time for appointment of a repeated course - autumn and spring.

Overdose

The instruction warns that a medicine such as Mexidol, if the recommended dose is exceeded, can provoke the development of drowsiness.

Interaction

The drug is compatible with all drugs that are used to treat somatic diseases.

When used simultaneously with benzodiazepine derivatives, antidepressants, antipsychotics, tranquilizers, anticonvulsants (for example, carbamazepine) and antiparkinsonian (levodopa) drugs enhances their effect on the body.

This allows you to significantly reduce the doses of the latter, as well as reduce the likelihood of development and severity of unwanted side effects(for which Mexidol is prescribed to certain categories of patients).

The drug reduces the severity of the toxic effects of ethanol.

Mexidol and Piracetam: compatibility

Piracetam as an active ingredient is part of the drug Nootropil, which is used to improve the cognitive (cognitive) processes of the brain.

The joint appointment of Nootropil and Mexidol allows you to achieve best results in increasing mental abilities in children, recovering patients after an ischemic stroke or coma, treating chronic alcoholism, psychoorganic syndrome (including in elderly patients with reduced memory, mood lability, behavioral disorders), etc.

However, it should be noted that, in contrast to nootropic drugs (and, in particular, Nootropil), Mexidol does not have an activating effect on the body, does not provoke sleep disturbances and increase convulsive activity.

In terms of its therapeutic efficacy, it is significantly superior to Piracetam.

Compatibility Mexidol and Actovegin

Mexidol and Actovegin have a similar mechanism of action, so they are often prescribed in combination with each other. However, since Actovegin is made from calf blood, it provokes certain side effects more often than Mexidol.

Actovegin at the molecular level accelerates the processes of utilization of oxygen and glucose, thereby increasing the body's resistance to hypoxia and contributing to an increase in energy metabolism.

Compatibility Cavinton and Mexidol

As an active component of Cavinton, Vinpocetine is used, which is synthesized from vincamine, an alkaloid of the perennial Periwinkle plant. The substance has the ability to dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation in the brain, and has a pronounced antiaggregatory and antihypoxic effect.

In addition, Vinpocetine is able to influence the metabolic processes occurring in the tissues of the brain, and reduces the aggregation (or, in other words, adhesion) of platelets, thereby improving its rheological properties.

Terms of sale

The drug belongs to the category of prescription drugs.

Storage conditions

Mexidol should be stored in a dry, dark place and out of the reach of children at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

Best before date

Mexidol tablets and solution are suitable for use within 3 years. After the period indicated on the package, it is forbidden to use them.

special instructions

Solution for intramuscular and intravenous administration

In patients with a predisposition to allergic reactions, with hypersensitivity to sulfites, as well as in people with bronchial asthma, severe hypersensitivity reactions may develop during treatment.

Mexidol tablets

During the course of treatment with Mexidol tablets, special care should be taken when driving and performing work that is hazardous to health and life. This is due to the fact that the drug has the ability to slow down the speed of psychomotor reactions and reduce concentration.

Mexidol's analogs

For many patients, the question often arises: “How can I replace the drug prescribed by the doctor and are there cheaper analogues?”.

Mexidol's analogs in tablets:

Analogues of the drug in ampoules are:

Quite often, patients have a question: which of the analogues of the prescribed drug is better, cheaper, where there are fewer side effects, etc. Therefore, it is worth considering this topic in detail.

Which is better: Actovegin or Mexidol?

The drugs are used in similar fields of medicine. For this reason, in order to achieve a more pronounced clinical effect, patients are prescribed them in combination.

Which is better: Cavinton or Mexidol?

Both Cavinton and Mexidol are complementary drugs, so they are often prescribed in combination to eliminate the effects of circulatory disorders in the brain.

The main requirement in this case is that the drugs should not be mixed in one dropper or in one syringe.

Which is better: Mexidol or Mexicor?

Mexicor is a generic (synonymous) of Mexidol. Therefore, the drug is used in the same areas of medicine as Mexidol. It is issued in the form gelatin capsules, tablets and solution for injection.

Mexicor effectively relieves anxiety, relieves fears and improves mood, improves memory, attention, increases efficiency and learning abilities, eliminates the symptoms of alcohol intoxication and reduces pathological consequences suffered a stroke.

The drug belongs to the group of metabolic cardiocytoprotectors. The mechanism of its action is due to the fusion in its composition of the antihypoxant succinate and the antioxidant emoxipin, which is characterized by a wide spectrum of action.

In combination with other therapeutic measures, Mexicor is indicated for the treatment of myocardial ischemia and ischemic stroke. It is also recommended to prescribe it in the treatment of mild and moderate cognitive disorders and to reduce the severity of symptoms of discirculatory encephalopathy.

Mexiprim and Mexidol - which is better?

Mexiprim is a German analogue of Mexidol. Its manufacturer is STADA Arzneimittel AG. The main difference between the drugs is the composition of the auxiliary components of the core and shell of the tablets. The mechanism of action and indications for use are similar.

Mexidol or Mildronate - which is better?

Mildronate belongs to a group of drugs that improve metabolism and energy supply of tissues. It is available in the form of gelatin capsules, solution for injection and syrup for oral administration.

The active substance of the drug is meldonium (trimethylhydrazinium propionate), which is similar in structure to gamma-butyrobetaine (a substance present in every cell of a living organism).

Mildronate is used as vasodilator. In addition, the drug improves the supply of organs and tissues with oxygen, improves humoral and tissue immunity, and reduces blood pressure.

Mexidol and Mildronate, at the discretion of the doctor, may be prescribed as part of combination therapy for the treatment of patients with:

Synonyms

• film-coated tablets and solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration Medomexi;
• solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration Meksidant;
• film-coated tablets and solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration of Mexiprim;
• solution for injections and tablets Meksifin;
• solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration Neurox;
• solution for injections and tablets Mexipridor;
• solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration and capsules Mexicor.

Prescribing the drug Mexidol to children

The drug is not prescribed for children and adolescents due to insufficient knowledge of the effect of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate on the children's body.

Mexidol and alcohol

Mexidol is a drug with a powerful antioxidant effect. For this reason, it is widely used in a wide variety of fields of medicine, including surgery, psychiatry, neurology, etc.

To the question "What is the medicine Mexidol for?" an experienced specialist will answer that the latter effectively restores the function of the neurological and psychological spheres and, in addition, contributes to the renewal and maintenance of the functional activity of liver cells.

Due to the ability of the drug to have a hepatoprotective and nootropic effect, the appointment of Mexidol is one of the most common methods of treating alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which develops against the background of intoxication of the body with ethyl alcohol.

It is believed that Mexidol and alcohol are compatible. Some are inclined to believe that the drug partly even neutralizes the effect of the latter. However, this opinion is erroneous, since the active substance of Mexidol, penetrating the tissues of the brain and liver, only relieves the existing symptoms of intoxication and eliminates the pathology, but does not protect the cells.

That is, the drug does not prevent the occurrence of unwanted symptoms of alcohol intake, but only eliminates its consequences:

• reduces the severity of headache;
• reduces the severity of symptoms of intoxication;
• accelerates the processes of excretion from the liver of residues of toxic substances and fusel oils contained in alcohol.

However, Mexidol cannot protect against liver cirrhosis or irreversible mental disorders if a person continues to drink alcohol at the same doses.

Mexidol during pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy and lactation are contraindications to the appointment of Mexidol. This is due to the fact that strictly controlled studies of the effect of the drug on pregnant and lactating women have not been conducted.

If the injection is prescribed once a day, then it does not matter. Just do it every day at the same time

It is better to do them at different times in order to know which drug you may be allergic to. One in the morning, the other in the evening. Cortexin improves brain performance.

Actovegin - injections. Video. Instructions for injections

So why is an injection sometimes better than a pill?

The injection has a sister - this is a dropper, which is used when you need to inject a lot of medication and it should be administered only gradually.

With the help of a syringe, a solution is drawn from the ampoule (in order to avoid air ingress, it is necessary to release a drop of the solution, holding the syringe with the needle up).

Naturally, everything must be sterile ( here you can see video).

Or: five ml of the solution of the drug in / in - between therapy sessions.

Therefore, in similar situation treatment with Actovegin is suspended and antihistamine (and, if necessary, corticosteroid) treatment is carried out.

Actovegin injections intramuscularly: inject slowly, no more than 5 ml (because this drug is hypertonic).

Injections can be done both in the morning and in the evening.

For children - it is highly undesirable, but in practice (in exceptional cases) Actovegin injections are given. In this case, the doctor evaluates all risks.

After opening the vial or ampoule, the Actovegin solution cannot be stored and then reused for injections: this will not only have no effect, but is simply dangerous to health.

With frequent use of Actovegin injections in patient therapy, it is necessary to check the electrolyte composition of the serum (K, Na, Ca, Cl, Mg.), As well as water balance the patient's body.

Treatment with Actovegin can be carried out only after consulting a doctor.-specialist and only after examining the patient. Neither self-treatment nor consultations given in absentia are recommended, tk. this can lead to complications.

Nevertheless, you can read reviews about Actovegin injections.

Actovegin also comes in the form of tablets, gel, ointment.

Keep ampoules should be in a dark place at room temperature (not higher than 25 ° C), in a package, out of the reach of children.

Perhaps you are interested general instruction on the use of Actovegin, the compatibility of Actovegin with other medicines, reviews of Actovegin by our readers, the price and manufacturers of the drug (and also its analogue Solcoseryl), the use of Actovegin in sports and in veterinary medicine (for the treatment of our pets).

You will find answers to these and many other questions on our website.

Little is known about when to take vitamins. As a rule, all vitamins are advised to take (or pierce) in the morning. But every rule has exceptions.

For example, vitamin E is best not taken at night, as it contributes to heart palpitations. The same applies to vitamin C ascorbic acid) - an antioxidant that makes the body work actively, improving metabolism.

The exception is colds, flu, SARS, when vitamin C is taken both day and night.

Vitamin B complexes are taken several times a day, including in the evening, since they contain small doses of each vitamin.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine), especially benfotiamine (the fat-soluble form of the vitamin), is excessively relaxing. And it is surprising that the instructions for such a drug as milgamma or benfogamma do not say that it should not be taken before driving, or when performing work that requires increased attention. Vitamin B1 is best taken at night so that the body has time to assimilate it, and itself to recover.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) can be taken at any time of the day. It has almost no side effects, except for urine, which is a bright lemon or light ocher color.

Vitamin B4 and B8 (choline and inositol) are usually taken with food. They both normalize the functioning of the liver. At night, the liver must rest, so it is more correct to take these vitamins not before bedtime, but earlier.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a natural diuretic and should not be taken at night or before long trips. For example, before going to work by car, when traffic jams.

Nicotinic acid (PP), or another form of it (nicotinamide) can be taken both in the morning and at night. In the morning nicotinic acid should not be taken for the reason that it causes severe redness (hyperemia) and heat in the upper body. Going to work in the subway, similar to the "leader of the redskins", is not very decent. Nicotinamide does not give such side effects.

Vitamin B5 ( pantothenic acid) can be taken in the evening, but it affects everyone differently. You need to look at the state.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) can be taken at night, as it has a lot side effects which are simply undesirable during the day. For example, folic acid can cause dizziness, short-term memory loss, mild depression, and also negatively affect the skin. The effects are short-lived and pass quickly.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) should not be taken at night, as it causes headache, dizziness, agitation, accompanied by tachycardia and even skin problems.

Biotin (vitamin H) can be taken at any time.
Lipoic acid, as well as drugs based on it, is taken before meals, since the substance is a hepatoprotector. It is not critical to take it in the evening.

As for vitamin complexes, in such one tablet all known vitamins are collected, which act in completely different ways, and therefore the complexes should be taken only in the morning.
