Is it possible to drink Mildronate with extrasystole

If abnormalities are observed in the work of the heart, then the heart rhythm can go astray, which will lead to many health problems. This condition is called an arrhythmia, and the most common type of arrhythmia is extrasystole. This pathology is caused by a number of factors, which include both an unhealthy lifestyle and hypoxia. It is because of the neglected arrhythmia that most heart attacks and strokes happen. Drug therapy is often used to treat this type of arrhythmia. Mildronate with extrasystole is prescribed in order to improve metabolic processes in the heart. Also, thanks to this drug, blood vessels are restored and brain activity is stimulated.

The effect of the drug on the body

Mildronate is prescribed only by a doctor after an examination and diagnosis of extrasystole. The affected area and the causes of the development of the disease are analyzed, and only then the patient is prescribed the drug. Mildronate should not be taken without a doctor's prescription, since self-medication can cause serious complications, which sometimes even lead to death.

Often, arrhythmia is treated precisely with medication, however, drugs do not relieve the disease, but only reduce the intensity of extrasystole.

Of course, the cause of the pathology is not eliminated, but the manifestations become much less noticeable, and relapses are also excluded. Mildronate affects several body systems at once.

• eliminates the manifestations of ischemia of the heart, and also improves blood flow to the heart or reduces the body's need for oxygen;
• neutralizes free radicals;
• protects blood vessels from harmful effects, showing a capillary-protective effect;
• improves the energy processes of the heart, thereby protecting the myocardium.

The drug is used to treat various pathologies. It increases a person's endurance both physically and emotionally, increases immunity, and reduces damage from free radicals. If a person has problems with the cardiovascular system, then mildronate stimulates the force of myocardial contraction and helps prevent heart attacks. In addition, the medicine does not allow the development of angina pectoris and prevents heart attacks.

If a person has significant damage to the heart muscle, then mildronate and all drugs similar to it accelerate the rehabilitation period, stabilize the blood circulation of the injured area, and help improve the flow of blood enriched with useful elements. Also, the drug prevents the death of tissues that have suffered due to ischemia of the heart.

It is also important to reduce the intensity of the symptoms of pathology, prevent arrhythmia from causing concomitant diseases and avoid possible complications.

In what cases is mildronate taken?

Often, mildronate for the treatment of extrasystoles or other diseases associated with the heart is prescribed in combination with other drugs. The main influence of the body is to alleviate the condition of the patient and reduce the manifestations of the disease. In most cases, the beneficial effect of the drug is to reduce the risk of developing angina pectoris and irregular heart rhythms.

• ischemia of the heart;
• metabolic disorders causing cardiomyopathy;
• heart failure, in which in most cases atrial fibrillation occurs;
• disturbances in the supply of blood to the heart;
• withdrawal syndrome due to the cessation of alcohol intake;
• rehabilitation after a stroke.

Mildronate helps the body endure physical and emotional stress, fight lack of rest, blurred vision, infectious diseases of the respiratory system (regulates the immune system) and promotes rehabilitation after surgery or injury.

Also, the drug is taken to stimulate the metabolism in the body and help in the transition to a healthy diet and good sleep.

The use of mildronate

1. If doctors treat stable angina pectoris with the help of the drug, then mildronate is taken for four days, three tablets per day (one capsule contains 250 mg of the active substance). After four days, the patient takes a capsule twice a day and this continues for a month and a half. Such a schedule helps to restore the energy exchange of damaged areas of the heart muscle.
2. If a person is diagnosed with coronary heart disease, then the patient is given droppers of ½ g of meldonium dihydrate. The procedure is carried out once a day, and in parallel the medicine is taken in the form of capsules. Tablets are taken twice a day, 250 mg. Then the medicines are taken twice a week, one tablet in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening.
3. If the patient's brain is damaged and blood circulation is disturbed in it, then mildronate is injected into the veins daily at ½ g for a week. Then the drug is taken in the form of capsules.
4. If dystrophy or angiopathy of the retina is detected, disrupting the blood flow, then doctors prescribe injections in the eye area. The daily norm of the substance in this case is 50 mg, and such injections last a week.
5. If ABC (astheno-vegetative syndrome) is diagnosed, then to improve the working capacity of the body, one tablet of mildronate is prescribed three times a day for two weeks.
6. To relieve withdrawal symptoms when you give up alcohol, take two tablets four times a day.

If taking mildronate is ineffective, then the attending physician can change the therapy by prescribing an operation.

Contraindications and side effects

It is not allowed to take medicine for diseases of the excretory system, high arterial or intracranial pressure, oncological diseases (including brain tumors), venous blood flow disorders, sensitivity to the active active substance. In addition, mildronate should not be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Side effects of the drug appear infrequently, but cases do occur.

• change in the blood formula;
• the appearance of allergies (itching, rash, swelling are possible);
• cardiopalmus;
• lowering blood pressure;
• digestive disorders;
• dizziness close to loss of consciousness.

Statistics show that after the start of taking mildronate or similar drugs, problems with heart palpitations and arrhythmia occur much less frequently than before medication.
