The drug "Amigrenin": analogues in Russia

Whoever has ever had a severe headache in his life, he knows how important it is to have a truly effective remedy available. The reason for this phenomenon can be very different. That's why you can not do self-medication. Only an experienced doctor can compare the complaints and the results of the diagnosis and choose the most suitable drug. The most severe and prolonged attacks of a headache usually characterize a migraine. The true causes of its occurrence have not yet been uncovered, but it is for certain known about a stable correlation with nervous tension and stress.

It costs a person to worry, and the headache begins. If you do not take action, the situation will only worsen. There are cases when seizures last for several days, and pain can not be removed with analgesics. Today there are new generation drugs: "Amigrenin", analogues, which can alleviate the condition of the patient.

How to recognize a migraine?

It is not difficult to distinguish it. The wide prevalence of this disease frightens. More than 20% of all people on the planet are subject to this pathology. Even in Ancient Egypt quite clearly described the attacks of such pain and ways of fighting it. At that time, she was treated with herbal decoctions. Only in the 20 years of the last century it was found that this disease is hereditary. And if you have a genetic predisposition, then anything can provoke pain: noise, alcohol, coffee or stress.

A migraine attack begins suddenly and manifests a constant, growing pain in one half of the skull. Additionally, nausea, dizziness, weakness and darkening in the eyes are necessarily present. Completely it is not cured, but you can stop the symptoms if you use "Amigrenin." Analogues, like the original drug, are not cheap, but in such cases it is not necessary to choose.

Ambulance

One of the characteristic features of migraine is that nausea starts. The stomach stops working and the drugs coming into it are slowly digested, not giving relief. The only way to stop symptoms is to take triptane medication, "Amigrenin." Analogues, like the original drug act in line with the elimination of violations of the balance of serotonin in the body.

Active substance

It is called sumatriptan. On its basis, a large number of preparations have been produced. This is primarily "Amigrenin." Analogues of it are represented by the following medicines:

• "Sumygamren".
• Sumatriptan.
• "Trimigrene" and others.

So, the active component acts on the smooth muscles of the cerebral vessels and narrows the vessels of the carotid arteries. The drug simultaneously removes nausea and restores the activity of the gastrointestinal tract. After 30 minutes after taking the medicine, you will be able to assess its effect.

Another analogue, similar in its therapeutic effect, is the drug "Zomig". The active substance in his other - zolmitripan. However, his price is very high, so he did not get much popularity from Russians.

Form of issue

Let's take a closer look at what Amigrenin is. Instructions for use (analogues, we describe below), reports that we have a remedy that regulates the amount of "hormone of joy" - serotinin. It is produced in the form of tablets, each of which contains the active substance sumatriptan and auxiliary: sugar milk, microcrystalline cellulose.

Tablets of white color, elongated form. In addition to them, there is also a nasal spray, but it is used extremely rarely. Based on the reviews, we can say with confidence that the product works fine. One tablet will be enough to return the workability for the whole day. Even in the most severe case, a single dose will ease your condition, and two-three-hour treatment will completely relieve the attack.

Indications for use

In what cases is it recommended to start taking Amigrenin (analogues)?

Therefore, it is necessary to withstand a break not less than 24 hours. There are reviews that indicate an increase or decrease in blood pressure. In this case, the attending physician must also analyze the situation and make the right decision.

Side effects

Despite good tolerability in most cases, Amigrenin is also not deprived of them. The doctors' comments say that in most situations they can be avoided by analyzing the state of the human body and the presence of additional diseases. In particular, the drug is capable of causing disturbances in the work of the cardiovascular system. Sometimes there is nausea or discomfort in the abdomen. In addition, there are cases of dizziness, drowsiness and weakness, as well as various allergic reactions.

With adequate dosages, the listed disorders are almost never found, so be sure to follow the instructions.

Tablets are taken internally as a whole, without chewing and washing with water, regardless of food intake. Usually, the dosage depends on the severity and intensity of the headache during an attack. For the first time it is recommended to take 0,05 g, that is 1 tablet. If the effect is not achieved, then you can increase the dose to two. The daily dose should not exceed six.

If at first there was relief, and then the headache resumed, it is recommended to take another pill, but not earlier than two hours later. "Amigrenin" is available in two forms. This is a 50 mg tablet. The package contains two pieces and costs 221 rubles. You can take a dosage of 100 mg, which will cost 329 rubles. Such a package also contains 2 tablets, but they can be divided into two parts and consumed 50 mg at a time.

Analogues

A great popularity among consumers enjoys the drug "Imigran". It is produced in the UK and costs a little more. Packing 100 mg will cost 397 rubles. The active substance is sumatriptan. Clinical effect is achieved only 30 minutes after admission. This is not cheap analogue of "Amigrenin", but many trust its effectiveness. This attitude is promoted by the reputation of the manufacturer.

Quite a lot of patients ask a question to doctors: what can replace "Amigrenin"? Analogues are cheaper, but the price is still quite high. However, those who have long suffered from migraines, know for sure that other drugs will not help them cope with the pain. So, you need to choose the most affordable option.

Berezovsky pharmaceutical plant has recently started producing Sumatriptan. At the same time, the price is 165 rubles for a package containing 2 tablets of 100 g. This is an analog of "Amigrenin" cheap, Russian, so be sure to try using it.

Israel, too, was involved in the production of migraine medications and put Sumatriptan-Teva on the market. Two 20 mg tablets cost 138 rubles. Compared with similar products, this is a fairly affordable tool.

In addition, it is necessary to name the analogue "Migrapam" of Russian production. While it is rare, it is difficult to orient at the price.

Also on the market there is "Trimigrene", Russian-made, but it is found only in the form of rectal suppositories. One package of this medicine will cost 255 rubles. It has a bright advantage over tableted preparations, since suppositories act much faster. However, the method of application is rather inconvenient, for example, outside the home.
