Analogues of Antisten in the presence of existing structural analogues. Use for the treatment of coronary heart disease and other vascular disorders in adults, children, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Composition and interaction of the drug with alcohol.

Antisten- a drug that normalizes the energy metabolism of cells exposed to hypoxia or ischemia. Prevents a decrease in intracellular ATP content, ensures the normal functioning of membrane ion channels, transmembrane transport of potassium and sodium ions and the preservation of cellular homeostasis.

Trimetazidine (the active ingredient of the drug Antisten) slows down the oxidation of fatty acids due to the selective inhibition of long-chain 3-ketoacetyl-CoA thiolase, which leads to increased glucose oxidation and restoration of the coupling between glycolysis and oxidative decarboxylation and has been shown to protect the myocardium from ischemia. The switch from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation underlies the antianginal effect of trimetazidine.

Experimental studies on animals have shown that Antisten supports the energy metabolism of the heart and neurosensory organs during periods of ischemic episodes; reduces the amount of intracellular acidosis and the degree of changes in the transmembrane ion flow that occurs during ischemia; reduces the level of migration and infiltration of polynuclear neutrophils in ischemic and reperfusion tissues of the heart, reduces the size of myocardial damage; however, it does not affect hemodynamics.

Pharmacodynamics:

Has an antihypoxic effect.

By directly influencing cardiomyocytes and neurons of the brain, the drug optimizes their metabolism and function. The cytoprotective effect is due to an increase in energy potential, activation of oxidative decarboxylation and rationalization of oxygen consumption (increased glycolysis and blockade of fatty acid oxidation).

Trimetazidine maintains myocardial contractility and prevents a decrease in the intracellular content of adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATP) and phosphocreatinine. In conditions of acidosis, it normalizes the functioning of membrane ion channels, prevents the accumulation of calcium and sodium ions in cardiomyocytes, and normalizes the intracellular content of potassium ions.

Reduces intracellular acidosis and increased phosphate levels caused by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Prevents the damaging effects of free radicals, preserves the integrity of cell membranes, prevents activation of neutrophils in the ischemic zone, increases the duration of the electrical potential, reduces the release of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) from cells and the severity of ischemic myocardial damage Trimetazidine reduces the frequency of angina attacks, reduces the need for nitrates, after 2 weeks of use it increases exercise tolerance, and sharp fluctuations are reduced blood pressure(HELL). Reduces dizziness and tinnitus of ischemic etiology. In case of vascular pathology of the eye, it restores the functional activity of the retina.

Availability cardiovascular diseases requires periodic or continuous treatment.

For coronary heart disease and some other pathologies, medications that have a short-term effect on the body may be ineffective.

In such cases, patients are prescribed drugs that can accumulate in the body and have a prolonged effect. These drugs include Antisten MV, a prescription drug for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

It is contraindicated to use the medicine without consulting a doctor.

pharmachologic effect

Antisten MV is classified as an antihypoxic agent. medicines, designed to improve indicators of metabolic changes in the myocardium and the function of neurosensory (sensorineural) organs in coronary heart disease.

The drug has pronounced antianginal, cytoprotective and antihypoxic effects. Its antianginal effect is to eliminate the symptoms of myocardial ischemia in persons with diagnosed coronary disease hearts.

This effect is achieved due to the ability of trimetazidine to reduce the level of preload on the heart muscle, dilate collateral vessels, block calcium channels and adrenergic receptors, activate potassium channels, improve blood supply to the subendocardial parts of the heart muscle and epicardial coronary vessels.

The result of all this is:

  • decreased venous blood flow to the heart muscle;
  • reduction of pain;
  • decreased oxygen demand of cardiac muscle cells;
  • decrease in pressure in pulmonary artery and atrium;
  • decrease in peripheral vascular resistance indicators.

The antihypoxic effect of trimetazidine is manifested in the ability to improve the body's utilization of oxygen, increase resistance to hypoxia, and reduce the oxygen needs of various tissues and organs.

As for the cytoprotective properties, they are due to the ability to correct ionic balance, maintain energy potential, and increase the protective capabilities of the mucous membranes.

Trimetazidine is capable of:

  • influence the cells that are the main muscle of the heart, as well as the neurons of the brain, improve their functional activity and metabolism;
  • maintain cardiac muscle contractility within the physiological norm;
  • prevent a decrease in phosphocreatinine, a substance that improves metabolism muscle tissue and myocardium;
  • prevent a decrease in the intracellular content of adenosine triphosphate.

In people with pathological conditions, in which the acid-base balance shifts towards increased acidity, trimetazidine:

  • prevents the accumulation of sodium and calcium in cardiomyocytes – the cells that form the heart muscle;
  • normalizes the functioning of IR (ion channels) of cell membranes;
  • normalizes intracellular potassium content.

Also, the active component of the drug contributes to:

  • reduction of symptoms of intracellular acidosis, reduction of phosphate levels resulting from ischemic heart disease;
  • maintaining the integrity of cell membranes;
  • preventing damage to cellular structures and cells by free radicals;
  • increasing the duration of the electrical potential;
  • reducing the frequency of angina attacks;
  • preventing the activation of neutrophil granulocytes in the ischemic area;
  • reducing the severity of damage to the heart muscle caused by ischemic heart disease;
  • reducing the body's need for nitrates;
  • eliminating sudden surges in blood pressure or reducing the frequency of their occurrence;
  • preventing the release of creatine phosphokinase from cells;
  • normalization of hearing;
  • increasing the body's resistance to physical loads ( this effect develops two weeks after the start of therapy);
  • improving the performance of vestibular tests in people with diseases of the ENT organs;
  • restoration of normal retinal function in vascular eye diseases;
  • reducing the severity of symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as tinnitus and dizziness.

Indications for use of Antisten MV

Appointment is possible if:

  • IHD (composed of complex treatment for the prevention of angina attacks);
  • choreoretinal vascular disorders;
  • cochleovestibular disorders of ischemic nature, such as hearing impairment, tinnitus, dizziness.

Mode of application

You need to take Antisten MV twice a day, 1 tablet - during breakfast and dinner. Taking more than 2 tablets per day is prohibited, because 70 mg is the maximum dosage. The duration of therapy is determined by the doctor.

Treatment of elderly people over the age of 75 years is carried out according to a similar scheme. However, such patients should take precautions and be observed by a doctor throughout the entire therapy.

Persons with diagnosed renal failure You should take no more than 1 tablet per day with your first meal.

If one or more doses of the drug are missed, you cannot take multiple doses at the next dose.

Composition, release form

One tablet consists of trimetazidine dihydrochloride (35 mg) and additional components such as microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose.

The film coating covering the tablet consists of macrogol 3350, talc, polyvinyl alcohol, dyes (iron oxide red, opadry, iron oxide yellow), titanium dioxide.

Antisten MV are packages, each of which contains 60 modified-release tablets. They are covered with a creamy film shell with a pink tint.

Inside the tablets there is a white or slightly yellowish core. The tablets have a round, biconvex shape.

Interaction with other drugs

There is no data on how trimetazidine interacts with other medications. To reduce the risk of developing a drug conflict, Antisten MV should be taken two or three hours after taking other medications.

Side effects

The following describes undesirable reactions that can develop when using Antisten MB:

Digestive system often – abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea.
Central nervous system often – headaches, dizziness; extremely rarely - extrapyramidal disorders (tremor, akinesia, rigidity), reversible after stopping the medication.
Heart, blood vessels rarely – flushing of the face, orthostatic hypotension.
Dermatological reactions often - itchy skin, urticaria, various types of rashes.
Others often - asthenia.

Patients who have previously experienced allergies to medications are recommended to test for the likelihood of developing allergic reactions before starting therapy.

To do this, the tablet is broken into 8 parts and 1 of them is placed under the tongue. If 20-30 minutes after dissolving the tablet no adverse reactions are observed (swelling of the mucous membranes, itching and redness of the skin), Antisten MV can be used in a course according to the regimen prescribed by the doctor.

Overdose

There have been no reports of overdose with the active component of the drug.

Contraindications

It is prohibited to use in treatment:

  • people with individual intolerance to the active or auxiliary components of Antisten MV;
  • pregnant patients;
  • persons with Parkinson's disease and a tendency to movement disorders;
  • children and adolescents under 18 years of age;
  • patients with frequent tremor, " restless legs»;
  • nursing women;
  • people with severe renal failure.

Prescribing the drug to elderly people and patients with elevated creatinine levels is possible, but some caution must be observed.

During pregnancy

Theoretically, the drug can be prescribed to pregnant women, because Animal experiments have demonstrated the absence of teratogenic effects of trimetazidine on the developing fetus. But in practice, the medicine is not prescribed during pregnancy due to the lack of experience in using Antisten MB in such categories of patients (it is not possible to exclude the occurrence of any pathologies in the fetus).

There is also no information about the excretion of trimetazidine in mother's milk. Therefore, the use of Antisten MV during lactation is prohibited.

Conditions, shelf life

To store Antisten MV, it is better to select dark places with a temperature within 10-25 degrees. The use of the medicine is possible within two years from the date of release.

It is prohibited to use a drug that has expired, because this is fraught with a decrease in the expected effectiveness and the development of undesirable reactions from various body systems.
