In the modern world, heart disease leads in the number of deaths. Cardiomagnyl is a combined medication (acetylsalicylic acid + magnesium) that prevents the development of acute coronary syndrome, leading to cerebral and cardiac infarction. The medicine is used in neurology and cardiology. The cost of the drug is quite high, so there is often a need to look for cheaper analogues of Cardiomagnyl.

General information about the drug

Cardiomagnyl is a combination drug with magnesium and salicylic acid. The drug prevents the process of thrombus formation due to the inhibition of CTC-1 and the effect on thromboxane 2 molecules. The drug also reduces pain and inflammation and affects thermoregulation receptors. Magnesium in the tablets protects the ECT mucosa and replenishes the lack of magnesium ions in the myocardium.

Cardiomagnyl is prescribed for therapy:

• heart failure;
• thrombosis;
• hypertension;
• after surgery on the coronary arteries;
• angina pectoris.

Thrombosis

Cardiomagnyl is often the main medication in complex therapy after ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, as well as a means for secondary prevention of these pathologies and coronary insufficiency.

Cardiomagnyl is often prescribed to patients with the following pathologies:

• hypercholesterolemia and obesity;
• hypertonic disease;
• systemic atherosclerosis;
• diabetes;

Acecardole

Acecardol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug based on acetylsalicylic acid. The mechanism of action of the active component is aimed at inhibiting COX-1, which blocks the synthesis of thromboxane A2 and prevents the aggregation of platelet molecules.

Aspirin Cardio

Aspirin Cardio is an aspirin-based antiplatelet agent (ASA). The tablets are in a coating that does not irritate the gastric mucosa. The drug dissolves in the intestines, and absorption occurs there. The drug is metabolized in liver cells. The medication is prescribed primarily for the treatment of cardiac pathologies, as well as in case of disturbances in the blood flow, which leads to an increase in the process of thrombus formation in the blood plasma.

The medicine is used as a prophylactic agent to prevent the progression of such cardiac pathologies:

• angina pectoris;
• myocardial ischemia and infarction;
• postoperative period after interventions on heart valves or coronary arteries.

Mechanism of action of Aspirin

In neurology, Aspirin is used in the treatment of transient ischemic attacks and ischemic stroke. It is prohibited to prescribe antiplatelet agents for cerebral hemorrhages.

List of inexpensive Russian-made substitutes

The domestic manufacturer made sure that we had a wide selection of analogues in price and quality.

Let's start with Russian-made analogues shown in the table below:

Substitutes without aspirin

Increasingly, cardiologists are prescribing new generation Cardiomagnyl analogues without aspirin. Medicines do not affect the state of the gastrointestinal tract and have a wider scope of application.

Tiklid

Tiklid is the most expensive analogue of Cardiomagnyl. The cost for 20 tablets starts from 400 rubles. The drug is more effective than the original drug and has virtually no side effects, because it is based on the component ticlopidine. The drug, in addition to blocking the aggregation of platelet molecules, can prolong the duration of bleeding.

Tiklid

The drug is not prescribed for a long course of therapy or prophylaxis, because Tiklid has a dose-dependent effect. The drug is prescribed as primary prevention of heart attacks and strokes, in the post-infarction and post-stroke period, as well as to prevent the progression of thrombosis, hypertension, and atherosclerosis.

Often used in the postoperative period after cardiac or vascular surgery. You need to take 1 tablet twice a day. The maximum dose per day is 4 tablets.

Do not use Tiklid if you are allergic to components, in obstetrics and pediatrics, if there are disturbances in the hemostasis system and the risk of internal bleeding, before a scheduled operation.

Trental

Trental is a medication that belongs to the pharmacological group of peripheral vasodilators. The active main component of the drug is pentoxifylline. It blocks the aggregation of platelet molecules and red blood cell molecules, helps reduce blood viscosity and increases their flexibility. Trental improves the rheological quality of blood.

The medication reduces peripheral arterial resistance due to its vasodilating effect. The use of the drug improves brain microcirculation, prevents the development of hypoxia, and also improves blood flow in the extremities. There is a slight dilation of the coronary arteries.

Mechanism of action of Trental

Areas of application:

• disruption of blood flow in the brain and in the peripheral parts of the blood flow system caused by atherosclerotic, diabetic etiology;
• trophic pathologies of the periphery of the bloodstream;
• ophthalmology and hearing impairment;
• gangrene of the extremities due to vascular pathologies and frostbite;
• Raynaud's disease and syndrome (angioneuropathy);
• phlebeurysm;
• encephalopathy and ischemic stroke of atherosclerotic etiology;
• multiple and systemic sclerosis.

The drug is not used in obstetrics and pediatrics. Trental is not prescribed for the following pathologies:

• 
  sensitivity to components;

• heavy bleeding;
• hemorrhagic stroke;
• hemorrhage in the eyeball;
• acute myocardial infarction;
• ulcerative pathologies in the digestive tract;
• hemorrhagic type diathesis.

The doctor selects the dosage and duration of the course individually for each patient. Common ways to take Trental:

• Most often, the drug is prescribed in an amount of 100-600 mg in a 0.90% sodium chloride solution for drip administration. The maximum dosage per day is no more than 1200 mg;
• insufficiency of cerebral blood flow - 1200 mg per day, divided into 3 procedures using a dropper - 5-7 days.

Clopidogrel

The active ingredient in the medicine is clopidogrel bisulfate. The drug is available only in tablets. The medication is used in the treatment of acute pathologies of the heart and coronary arteries. Clopidogrel is prescribed as a preventive measure for the formation of thrombosis after cerebral and cardiac infarction.

Action of Clopidogrel

Clopidogrel is the basis of a medication that is used to relieve acute coronary syndrome. The therapeutic sustained effect is dose-dependent and occurs 3-7 days after the start of therapy. The drug is not used in pediatrics, during pregnancy and lactation, and is also not prescribed if there is a risk of internal bleeding or allergies to the medication.

The medicine is used once a day, 1 tablet and is not tied to the hours of food intake. In case of cerebral and cardiac infarction, transient ischemic attack or coronary syndrome in the acute stage, the patient must immediately be given 4 tablets to drink.
