Pharmacological action
Asparkam is a source of potassium and magnesium ions, regulates metabolic processes. The mechanism of action is presumably associated with the role of asparaginate as a carrier of magnesium and potassium ions in the intracellular space and the participation of asparaginate in metabolic processes. Thus, aspartame eliminates the imbalance of electrolytes, reduces the excitability and conductivity of the myocardium (moderate antiarrhythmic effect).
Indications
Asparkam is used in combination therapy for heart failure, coronary heart disease, hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmias (in the course of the disease). .
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the drug, impaired amino acid metabolism, arterial hypotension. Acute and chronic renal failure, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, impaired atrioventricular conduction (AV block I-III art.), Severe myasthenia gravis, acute metabolic acidosis, dehydration (exicosis), hemolysis, Addison’s disease, oliguria, anuria.
Precautions: during pregnancy and lactation, in the presence of hypophosphatemia, urolithic diathesis (associated with impaired exchange of Ca2 +, Mg2 + and ammonium phosphate).
Special instructions
In case of rhythm disturbances in combination with AV blockade, it is not recommended to prescribe the drug. The combined use of Asparkam and potassium-sparing diuretics increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
