Cardiomagnyl helps prevent the formation of blood clots and the development of such serious conditions as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Together with an expert, we select analogues of Cardiomagnyl, which act just as effectively, and often cost less.

– Cardiomagnyl is a combination drug that contains acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and a magnesium salt, – comments Candidate of Medical Sciences, cardiovascular surgeon Andrey Eroshenko. – According to the manufacturer, this combination is the most effective. Plus, the manufacturing company used a successful marketing move – it made tablets in the form of hearts. Patients remember this original pill very well and use this drug with more commitment and interest than others.

Cardiomagnyl prevents the formation of blood clots and reduces blood viscosity. The official instructions for the drug say that magnesium reduces the negative effects of acetylsalicylic acid on the gastric mucosa.

Among the indications for the use of Cardiomagnyl are angina pectoris, prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.¹. In addition, the drug is prescribed for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly and from the “risk group”: with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity¹.

How to choose an analogue of Cardiomagnyl

– As substitutes for Cardiomagnyl, full analogues or monopreparations based on acetylsalicylic acid can be considered. One of the most popular monopreparations is Thrombo-ASS. In addition to it, there are many other drugs that contain low doses of ASA – from 75 to 375 mg, – comments Andrey Eroshenko, Ph.D., cardiovascular surgeon.

ASA-based preparations are of two types – with a conventional and enteric coating. It is believed that enteric-coated tablets have the advantage that they transfer the active substance to the intestines and therefore do not irritate the gastric mucosa. On the other hand, the damaging effect of acetylsalicylic acid is manifested when it is absorbed into the blood, so the transport of ASA to the intestine theoretically does not prevent adverse effects on the gastric mucosa. So the choice of a specific drug among enteric and conventional forms can be difficult.

If we are talking about other drugs from the group of antiplatelet agents, then the closest in properties to ASA is clopidogrel (the original drug based on clopidogrel – Plavix). It also causes blood thinning, but does not irritate the gastric mucosa. Usually, clopidogrel is prescribed instead of acetylsalicylic acid when the patient has a predisposition to gastric ulcer, and sometimes together with it, if endovascular intervention is performed: stenting of the heart vessels or peripheral arteries.

Another drug similar in action is Pletal. Widely used in vascular surgery, cardiology and neurology for the treatment of patients. Pletal has not only a blood-thinning, but also a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, which is a very valuable property in the treatment of atherosclerosis, including diabetes. More affordable analogues of Pletal are Pletax and Aducil.

Reviews of doctors about the analogues of Cardiomagnyl

Cardiomagnyl and its analogues are widely used in medical practice. Monopreparations based on ASA are cheaper than Cardiomagnyl and are often used as substitutes. At the same time, doctors note that their bioavailability is slightly lower, and the irritating effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa is higher. Therefore, Cardiomagnyl is more suitable for long-term therapy.

As for antiplatelet agents with other active ingredients, in some cases they will be more effective than Cardiomagnyl. For example, Clopidogrel is the drug of choice for the prevention of complications in patients after a heart attack and stroke, and Pletax is for intermittent claudication.
