Octadin

Octadine is a drug that belongs to the group of sympathomimetics. This drug blocks adrenergic fibers, which helps reduce the levels of adrenaline and norepinephrine in the body.

The first and main active ingredient of Octadine is Guanethidine. It was created back in the 1950s, but only in the 90s was it approved for use in medical practice. The drug is produced in the form of tablets or capsules of 2-16 mg. Octadine has a number of indications for use: arterial hypertension, heart rhythm disturbances (for example, tachycardia), extrasystole (obsessive heart contractions out of rhythm), ventricular arrhythmias, prevention of migraine attacks, etc.

It is also worth paying attention to the contraindications of Octvadine, for example, liver and kidney diseases, some mental illnesses, and cardiovascular diseases. The medicine should not be used by women during pregnancy and lactation, as well as by children under 18 years of age. If you are taking other medications, you must inform the doctor prescribing the therapy. The doctor may prescribe either short-term or long-term use of Octvadine, depending on the diagnosis and your needs.
