Egilok is a remedy for the treatment of pathology of the cardiovascular system.
pharmachologic effect
According to the instructions, Egilok refers to beta1-adrenergic blocking agents. The main active ingredient is metoprolol. It has antianginal, antiarrhythmic, blood pressure lowering effect. By blocking beta1-adrenergic receptors, Egilok reduces the excitatory effect of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart muscle, rapidly lowers the heart rate and blood pressure. The antihypertensive effect of the drug is long-term, since the peripheral vascular resistance decreases gradually.
Against the background of long-term use of Egilok with high blood pressure, the mass of the left ventricle significantly decreases, it relaxes better in the diastolic phase. According to reviews, Egilok is able to reduce mortality from cardiovascular pathology in males with a moderate increase in blood pressure.
Like its analogues, Egilok reduces the heart's need for oxygen due to a decrease in pressure and heart rate. Thanks to this, diastole is lengthened - the time during which the heart rests, which improves its blood supply and the absorption of oxygen from the blood. This action reduces the incidence of angina attacks, and against the background of asymptomatic episodes of ischemia, the patient's physical condition and quality of life are significantly improved.
The use of Egilok reduces the frequency of ventricular heart contractions during atrial fibrillation, ventricular premature beats and supraventricular tachycardia.
Compared to the non-selective beta-blockers of the Egilok analogs, it has less pronounced vasoconstriction and bronchial properties, and it also has less effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
While taking the drug for several years, blood cholesterol is significantly reduced.
