The principle of the drugs is the same, but the elimination of the Prestarium is carried out with the participation of the kidneys, therefore, the effect may be slowed when taken by older people. You can use the complex “Prestarium” with other drugs, but also separately or for the prevention of heart disease or to reduce blood pressure.
Perindopril is an analogue of Prestarium (a difference is observed in cost). It belongs to another group of drugs – ACE blockers. It is effectively used to prevent cardiovascular diseases in patients with ischemia. There is another important action – the analogue is able to reduce the afterload on the myocardium of the left ventricle of the heart.
The drug is allowed to prescribe for people with type I and type II diabetes from high blood pressure.
Medications are interchangeable (dosage is maintained). Usually it is recommended to use one tablet in the morning (the duration of the preservation of the effect of the drug reaches 24 hours). To achieve a positive result, it is necessary to use these drugs systematically, strictly in that sequence and dosage, as the doctor prescribed.
In the event that the prescribed treatment is ineffective, then an interchangeable drug is recommended, or an increase in dosage. Hypertension cannot be cured, but the development of the disease can be prevented.
Most of the deaths currently occur due to heart attacks or strokes (according to statistics, this is almost 70%). People die due to obstruction of the arteries of the heart or even the brain. Many live and do not suspect that they suffer from hypertension, turn a blind eye to organ malfunctions. Unfortunately, it often happens that the problem is not solved, and the person is doomed to death.
You can detect the disease by some symptoms:
- Presence of pain in the head.
- Heart palpitations.
- The appearance of black dots in front of the eyes.
- Increased irritability and apathy.
- Blurring visual apparatus.
- Profuse sweating.
- Swelling of the body, face.
- Chills.
- Increased (unstable) pressure.
It should be noted that if at least one of the listed symptoms is present, then this is a serious and significant reason to think and decide to undergo an examination. This begs the question that worries most: “How to treat hypertension?”. There are many medications that are recommended. Among them are called Perindopril and Prestarium.
Perindopril
“Perindopril” is presented in the form of round-shaped tablets, usually white. The active substance is Perindopril ( Perindopril ). The drug is recommended for high blood pressure, chronic heart failure, prevention of re-stroke in patients who have suffered it or with a transient violation of cerebral circulation according to the ischemic type.
The drug is aimed at vasodilatation, is able to increase cardiac output and exercise tolerance. Actively active, starting from the first hour of admission. The effect lasts for a day.
The use of the product is prohibited in the following phenomena, which should be noted:
- Pregnancy of women and lactation.
- Individual sensitivity to some components of the drug.
- The use of the drug is contraindicated for children (it is forbidden to use up to eighteen years old).
Diabetes, kidney problems, old age are not an obstacle to use. In many cases, the drug is recommended for type I and type II diabetics for high blood pressure.
Prestarium
The medication is a green round-shaped tablets, film-coated. The active substance is a component of perindopril. “Prestarium” reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure, positively affects the vessels of the brain, accelerates peripheral blood flow, without disturbing the pulse.
Prestarium is aimed at preventing heart attacks and strokes, reduces blood pressure, and restores the elasticity of arterial vessels. With systematic administration, hypertrophy of the left ventricle is reduced.
It is strictly forbidden to take women during pregnancy (and lactation), angioedema, galactosemia, intolerance to ACE inhibitors, people under eighteen years old and drivers of vehicles, due to inattention when taking the drug (the effect of “stupor”).
What is common between means?
Indications for the use of medicines are identical. The main ones are:
- The treatment of arterial hypertension.
- Chronic heart failure.
- Stable coronary heart disease.
- Reducing the likelihood of developing cardiovascular pathologies.
“Perindopril” and “Prestarium” should not be used by women during gestation and lactation, it is forbidden to children, and is also not recommended if the body is prone to angioedema.
In which case, what should be taken
It is very important to understand that medicines have side effects. Perindopril may cause:
- Weakness.
- Headache.
- Burning skin.
- Cramping.
- Violation of the visual or auditory apparatus.
- Shortness of breath, coughing.
- A sharp change in pressure.
Prestarium has similar side effects:
- Severe abdominal cramps.
- Feeling tired.
- Rash.
- Arrhythmia.
- Angina pectoris.
- Shortness of breath.
If at least one of the side effects is noticed, then do not hesitate to visit a doctor! In each case, the doctor makes an individual decision, depending on the underlying disease and the side effects manifested.
You should always remember that our health is in our hands! Do not neglect your ailments, do not delay the visit to the doctor until the last moment! This is fraught with serious consequences.
