Disorders of blood circulation, composition and coagulability of biological fluid provoke the development of a variety of diseases of the internal organs and brain, often cause heart attacks and strokes. To solve such problems, a very expensive Trental is often prescribed - analogues of the medication are of low price, but not less effective.
How can I replace Trental?
To properly choose an analog, it is important to know the exact qualitative and quantitative composition of the drug.
The active ingredient of Trental is pentoxifylline - a substance that reduces the viscosity and density of blood, prevents excessive production of platelets, dilates blood vessels. Due to this the medicine allows to improve the microcirculation of biological fluid in soft tissues, including in the brain, to prevent sclerotization and thrombosis, to normalize the rheological characteristics of the blood.
In this way, Trental can be fully replaced only by means that are developed on the basis of pentoxifylline. In addition, you need to pay attention to the concentration of the active ingredient - 100 mg and 400 mg (prolonged effect).
Analogues of the drug Trental in tablets
One of the best identical drugs is Agapurin. This medication is produced in Slovakia, but is in an affordable price category.
Interestingly, in addition to the active ingredient dosage of 100 and 400 mg, there is a special type of Agapurin - Retard. The concentration of pentoxifylline in this form of release reaches 600 mg, which makes it possible to effectively treat even severe pathologies of circulatory disorders:
- diabetic angiopathy;
- atherosclerosis of vessels in the brain;
- functional hearing impairment due to vascular diseases;
- consequences of myocardial infarction;
- transient ischemic attacks;
- endarteritis;
- cerebrovascular disorders;
- Raynaud's disease;
- acute or chronic insufficiency of blood supply in the retina and the shell of the eyes.
Other analogues of Trental are 200 and 400:
- Trenpental;
- Pentamon;
- Arbiflex;
- Ralofect;
- Pentylin and Pentylin Forte;
- Vazonite;
- Radomine;
- Pentomer;
- Flexitale;
- Pentohexal.
It is important that all of these drugs have high bioavailability (about 90%), which ensures rapid digestibility and the achievement of therapeutic results.
The most popular, effective and at the same time inexpensive analogue of Trental is Pentoxifylline. Medication belongs to the group of angioprotectors, which perform the following functions:
- inhibition of platelet aggregation;
- decrease in blood viscosity;
- expansion of blood vessels and strengthening of their walls, increase of elasticity;
- improving the supply of oxygen compounds of soft and muscle tissues;
- elimination of convulsive phenomena and pain syndrome in muscles caused by contraction.
Pentoxifylline is released in the same dosages of the active substance, when it comes to tablets, as the drug described.
Analogues of Trental in ampoules
If you need to administer solutions, you should choose the following names of medications:
- Pentylin;
- Latren (for infusions);
- Agapurin;
- Pentoxifylline.
The biological availability of these drugs is very high - up to 98%, especially in Agapurin. As a rule, they are used for severe forms of cerebral circulation, angiopathy of diabetic origin, as well as for restoring the patient's condition after a heart attack, ischemic attack, stroke .
