Mildronate hard capsules 250 mg (40 pcs.)

Application features

When using the drug, patients with impaired liver and / or kidney function of mild or moderate severity in history should be careful (it is necessary to monitor liver and / or kidney function).

Many years of experience in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina in cardiology departments shows that meldonium is not a first-line drug in acute coronary syndrome.

Due to the possible development of an exciting effect, the drug is recommended to be used in the morning.

The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving vehicles or working with mechanisms

Studies to assess the impact on the ability to drive vehicles and maintain mechanisms have not been conducted.

Use during pregnancy or lactation

Pregnancy.  Animal studies are insufficient to assess the effect of meldonium on pregnancy, embryo/fetal development, childbirth and postpartum development. The potential risk to humans is unknown, so meldonium is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Lactation. Available animal data indicate the penetration of meldonium into mother's milk. It is not known whether meldonium passes into human breast milk. A risk to newborns/infants cannot be excluded, therefore meldonium is contraindicated during breastfeeding.

Dosage and administration

Take orally before or after meals. The capsule is swallowed with water. Due to the possible stimulating effect, the drug is recommended to be used in the morning.

Patients with impaired liver function

Patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment should use a lower dose of meldonium.
