Preparation Egilok - application is justified
The use of Egilok medicines has become massive only in recent years, before that physicians preferred to use separate drugs to treat each of the diseases in which Egilok is effective. This approach is fully justified, but usually violations of the heart, vascular problems, increased blood pressure and other diseases caused by the frequency of cardiac systole, are observed simultaneously. It is much easier to take one Egiloc pill than a handful of medications!
The drug refers to beta-adrenoblockers, that is, reduces the effect of adrenaline, thereby reducing the number of systolic contractions of the heart during an attack. The main active ingredient is metoprolol. The effect of taking the drug comes in 20 minutes, becomes maximum after 3-4 hours and completely disappears during 6 hours. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys. The use of Egiloc is shown to all, without exception, the elderly, since the age-related changes in the work of the heart do not make exceptions.

Egilok preparation and features of indications for use
Doctors recommend taking Egilok with food, this allows to increase its bioavailability by 40-60 percent. If this is not possible, you can use the drug on an empty stomach. The medicine should be washed down with a sufficient amount of pure water, otherwise the term of its action will change.
During treatment, you should pay attention to other drugs that you use, together with Egilokom they can give unpredictable effect. For example, the simultaneous administration of verapomil and the administration of Egiloc can provoke a cardiac arrest. Nifedipine will cause a very strong and sharp decrease in blood pressure. In combination with ethanol and alcohol-containing agents, Egilok exerts a depressant effect on the central nervous system.
