Asparkam-Ferein: a drug for regulating water and electrolyte balance
Asparkam-Ferein is a drug produced in Russia and used to correct disturbances in the water and electrolyte balance in the body. It belongs to the pharmacological group of drugs that regulate water and electrolyte balance.
The drug is produced by the Bryntsalov-A company and has the international name "Potassium and magnesium asparaginate". It is also known by other synonyms such as Aspangin, Asparkam, Asparkam-Akos, Asparkam-UBF, Potassium and magnesium asparaginate Berlin-Chemie and Panangin. The drug is presented in the form of an injection solution and contains potassium and magnesium aspartate.
Asparkam-Ferein is used for the treatment of arrhythmias that are caused by hypokalemia, intoxication with cardiac glycosides, as well as for the treatment of ventricular extrasystole and circulatory failure. It is also used to correct hypokalemia when using loop diuretics.
However, there are contraindications to the use of Asparkam-Ferein. These are renal failure, hyperkalemia and AV block of II-III degree. When using the drug, side effects may occur, such as nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, intraventricular conduction disturbances, facial flushing, thirst, decreased blood pressure, hyporeflexia, respiratory depression, impaired neuromuscular transmission and arrhythmias.
It is also necessary to take into account the interaction of Asparkam-Ferein with other drugs. It may reduce the effectiveness of cardiac glycosides, and potassium-sparing diuretics and ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
In case of overdose, Asparkam-Ferein can cause conduction disturbances, especially with previous pathology of the conduction system. There are also restrictions on the use of the drug: hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, acute and chronic renal failure.
In general, Asparkam-Ferein is an effective and widely used drug for correcting water and electrolyte imbalances in the body. However, before using it, you must consult your doctor and strictly follow the dosage and regimen of the drug.
