Anaprilin is a drug from the group of beta-blockers that exhibits antianginal, hypotensive and antiarrhythmic properties. This is a fairly effective, affordable and inexpensive medicine that can quickly reduce heart rate and blood pressure, eliminate panic attack, and also alleviate the condition in some other pathologies. However, this medicine is not devoid of side effects and can only be used under the supervision of a doctor, and in some cases is contraindicated for use. Are there analogues of Anadrilin without side effects, and what is their effectiveness, we will consider further.
Analogues of Anaprilin
The drug under discussion as the main active ingredient contains the synthetic substance propranolol hydrochloride. The structural analogues (synonyms) of Anaprilin, which contain the same active substance, are the following medicines:
- Propranolol;
- Obsidan;
- Noloten;
- Stobetin;
- Propamine;
- Propranolobene;
- BetaCap TR.
Since the listed products are identical in composition, and therefore, according to indications, contraindications and side effects, they are interchangeable.
There are also analogues of Anaprilin not according to the active substance, i.e. these are drugs belonging to the same pharmacological group (beta-blockers) and exhibiting similar properties, but including other active components. In addition, today there are safer drugs with a similar mechanism of action - selective (selective) beta-blockers. These drugs, unlike non-selective Anaprilin, block the work of only certain types of beta-adrenergic receptor organs, which are required to act. Thus, there is no effect on other organs, and the number of possible side effects in treatment with such drugs is significantly reduced.
Such modern analogs of Anaprilin are the following medicines:
- Atenolol (Atenobene, Atenova, Ormidol);
- Bisoprolol (Bidop, Concor , Cordinorm);
- Metoprolol (Vazocardin, Serdol, Corvitol);
- Betaxolol (Betac, Lokren, Xonefy);
- Nebivolol (Binelol, Nebivator, Nebival) and others.
Preparations from the above list differ in their bioavailability, duration of action, absorption period and many other indicators. The decision on which of these drugs should be used for treatment can be taken only by the doctor individually, based on the data of diagnostic studies, the characteristics of the patient's body and the tolerability of medication.
Than it is possible to replace Anaprilin from a tachycardia at a thyrotoxicosis?
Thyrotoxicosis is a pathological condition caused by an excessive amount of thyroid hormones, in which all metabolic processes in the body are accelerated. Patients with this diagnosis constantly, even during sleep, are worried about increased heart rate - tachycardia. The need for cardiac muscle in oxygen increases, the body works with overload. In addition, in patients with thyrotoxicosis may occur
With this disease, tachycardia is not eliminated even when taking drugs that remove it in any other cases - cardiac glycosides (unless they are used without drugs that lower the production of thyroid hormones). Quickly improve the condition of the patient in this case can Anaprilin (as well as other drugs based on propranolol), which also somewhat reduces the level of thyroid hormones T3. As for the analogues of Anaprilin, related to selective beta-blockers, their effect on tachycardia due to thyrotoxicosis is less effective. these funds do not reduce the T3 level.
