Mildronate children

"Mildronat" is considered a drug that positively affects metabolism and performance. This tool has often been prescribed to athletes to increase stamina and strengthen the body, but more recently it has been added to the doping list. Now "Mildronat" is in demand mainly in cardiology, and it is also used for violations of the blood supply to the brain. Not everyone knows whether this medicine is permitted to children, which, if necessary, it can be replaced.

Mildronat is presented in a pharmacy in two forms:

• Capsules They have a white color and a dense gelatin shell. Such capsules are available in two different dosages and are sold for 20, 40 or 60 pieces per pack.
• Ampoules with a solution for intravenous administration. It is colorless and transparent, poured into each ampoule of 5 ml. This medicine is also administered parabulbarno. One box contains 10 ampoules.

Each form of Mildronate as an active ingredient contains a substance called meldonium. It is presented in the form of dihydrate, in 1 ml of injectable medication with a dosage of 100 mg (500 mg in one ampoule), and in one capsule it can be either 250 or 500 mg. Additionally, only sterile water is present in the ampoules, and the capsules include Ca stearate, silica, gelatin, titanium dioxide, and potato starch.

Meldonium provides many positive effects. This connection:

• Increases heart cell viability and protects them from adverse effects.
• Reduces oxygen cell demand and reduces the negative effect of lack of oxygen on the tissue.

Mildronate is applied:

• With chronic bronchitis or bronchial asthma.
• When circulatory disorders in the retina or in the brain.
• When overworked, strong physical exertion, decreased performance, as well as after surgical treatment.

As noted in the annotation to the ampoules and capsules of Mildronate, these drugs are not used in the treatment of patients younger than 18 years. The main reason is the lack of information about the effect of Meldonium on the children's body. If a doctor prescribes this medication as a teenager, he takes responsibility for himself, choosing the dosage and regimen of use individually.

"Mildronat" can not be taken:

• In case of intolerance to meldonium or any of the auxiliary ingredients of the capsules.
• With increased intracranial pressure.

If the patient has a pathology of the kidneys or liver, the treatment should be carried out under the supervision of a physician.

Judging by the reviews - "Mildronat" extremely rarely provokes any negative reactions. However, in some patients, its use may lead to psychomotor agitation, severe weakness, tachycardia, an allergic reaction, dyspepsia, and other symptoms. If they occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.

The appropriate form of the drug, the single dose and the duration of Mildronate therapy are determined individually. For example, during physical overloads, the injection solution is injected into a vein once a day - 1 ampoule (for 10-14 days). For adolescents, the dosage of the drug is calculated by their weight, multiplying their body weight in kilograms by 12.5-25 mg meldonium.
