The best pills that increase pressure( review)

List of drugs in tablets to increase blood pressure( links below for content of the article):

From this article you will learn:

• What tablets can I useto raise blood pressure? Drugs prescribed for this purpose are not so many
• Which medications increase the pressure very effectively, and which ones are suitable only for relief of moderate hypotension? Author's rating of popular tablets for effectiveness.

Under reduced pressure, it is most convenient to use tablets as self-help drugs. They do not act as fast as injections, but they can be used independently, without waiting for a doctor or a nurse. It is not possible to significantly increase the pressure in case of severe hypotension( against a background of shock, exacerbation of cardiovascular insufficiency, blood loss) - but in such situations, qualified medical care is always necessary.

But to improve your health with a moderate decrease in pressure against the background of vegetative-vascular dystonia with the help of tablets is quite realistic.

Next - an overview of the list of 10 medicines.

1. Ephedrine

Ephedrine

Ephedrine is one of the most effective drugs in the form of tablets, which can significantly increase blood pressure. The pill of ephedrine under the tongue will be a good help even in case of a syncope, provoked by a sharp hypotension.

The essential drawback of this medication is the complexity of its acquisition, since ephedrine is dispensed strictly according to the doctor's prescription. Doctors usually do not prescribe ephedrine for vegetative-vascular dystonia, choosing other drugs for course treatment.

It should also be taken into account that ephedrine in the form of tablets is now difficult to find - it is delivered to pharmacies primarily under the order. If you still can get it, then use tablets very carefully - sloppy, incorrect dosing can lead to rapid development of side effects - uncontrolled pressure increase, nervous overexcitation, vomiting, insomnia.

2. Adrenaline

Adrenaline is another powerful remedy for eliminating hypotension. Just like ephedrine, it is released strictly according to the doctor's prescription, and it is also difficult to find in the form of tablets.

Indication for the use of adrenaline - a significant reduction in blood pressure( upper 70 mm and below).Side effects are similar to those of ephedrine.

3. Regulaton

Regulton is one of the few drugs with good efficacy, but affordable( available in pharmacies).It is prescribed for the treatment of a variety of manifestations of vegetative-vascular dystonia with hypotension, with orthostatic hypotension( when the pressure falls at the moment of transition from a sitting or lying position to a standing position).Regulton is widely used to treat the syndrome of chronic fatigue, reduce performance against the background of hypotension.

To a large extent, this drug is suitable for routine treatment - in the case of a permanent tendency to hypotension. He is prescribed a long course, and the doctor individually selects a dose for each patient, stopping at the minimum effective( ie, the smallest dose of the drug on which it is possible to achieve the desired effect).

The lack of the drug - the inability to use it in the case of acute hypotension, because the effect of the drug develops gradually, within an hour. But with a slight decrease in pressure( systolic within 80-90 mm of mercury), taking 1 tablet of a regulton is usually quite enough to normalize it.

4. Heptamyl

Heptamyl is a fairly effective non-toxic drug, it is on sale( prescription).

In the form of tablets suitable for both single use with a slight decrease in pressure, and for the treatment of persistent hypotension.

5. Fetanol

Fetanol - also available on prescription. In tablets, it quickly and permanently increases blood pressure when it is moderately reduced.

6. Gutron

Gutron is an effective drug used in emergency cases( with sudden drop in pressure, presyncope), and for the constant treatment of low blood pressure.

7. Caffeine

Caffeine is a tablet widely used to increase pressure. Though officially their leave should be carried out under the prescription, in practice in a drugstore they often sell freely. Available drug, both in terms of availability and free sale, and in terms of cost. Efficacy is average: a tablet of caffeine will help to eliminate or reduce the severity of symptoms of hypotension( headache, dizziness, weakness), but a significant increase in pressure from it can not be expected. For permanent treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia, caffeine is not used because it gives many undesirable side effects( insomnia, nausea, headaches) and loses compared to the regulton and heptamyl.

8. Pantocrine and rantarin

Pantocrine and rantarin - these tablets are related to dietary supplements, are part of the group of general toning agents. Moderately increase vascular tone, activate the nervous system. Suitable for the treatment of a moderate decrease in pressure or lethargy. Sharply pressure does not increase, in emergency cases, their use is ineffective.

9. Citramon( ASKOFEN)

Citramon( Ascofen) - has a non-prescription vacation and low cost, is easily available. Refers to a combination of drugs, it includes several active ingredients - caffeine, paracetamol and aspirin. Relieves headache, including against a background of mild hypotension. But there is no pronounced effect on the level of blood pressure.

Conclusion

All tablets that increase blood pressure can not be used uncontrolled. Their use requires regular measurement of pressure and monitoring of well-being. Strongly acting drugs can lead to severe undesirable effects. But other, weaker agents are also capable of causing side effects: headaches, a sharp rise in blood pressure, nervous overexcitation, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, small trembling of fingers. Therefore, the use of any drugs to raise the pressure should be done only after consulting a cardiologist or therapist.
