*Overview of the best in the opinion of the editors of the site. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

This review will focus on drugs that are commonly referred to as "blood thinners". In Runet, there are numerous materials on this topic, in which you can find information about a variety of means. Such articles describe a variety of medicines that are designed not only to improve fluidity, that is, blood rheology, but are also folk remedies. Information is provided on substances derived from living structures (hirudin), on thinning medicines for the treatment of varicose veins based on plant components. Such a “free placement” of all these numerous, very different means, biological preparations and plant extracts into the group of “blood thinners” is not entirely correct.

In fact, there are quite a limited number of drugs with proven efficacy and systemic effects that fall into the category of so-called antiplatelet agents, or improve the rheological properties of the blood (improve its fluidity).

A little about the density of blood and its rheological properties

But before proceeding with the description of antiplatelet agents - these prophylactically important drugs that thin the blood and saved hundreds of thousands of lives, you need to understand what “impaired fluidity” of blood is, and how such blood differs from “thick blood”.

There is such a simple laboratory indicator as hematocrit. Hematocrit is the percentage, volumetric ratio between the liquid part of the blood, or its plasma, and cells - uniform elements. The more this ratio is, the thicker the blood. This density can arise due to an absolute factor, for example, excessive reproduction of all blood cells with a normal amount of plasma (polycythemia vera, or Wakez's disease).

But much more often, the hematocrit rises due to a decrease in the amount of the liquid part of the blood and is called relative. For example, this is a severe intestinal infection with repeated diarrhea and vomiting, when the blood thickens due to fluid loss. There is also physiological dehydration. For example, long-term hard physical labor in a dry, hot climate and intense sweating.

Does the blood thicken during these processes? Of course it thickens. Are blood thinners needed in this case? Of course not. It is enough to restore the fluid balance that has been changed, and the blood will acquire the lost rheological properties. What then drugs are called means, diluting it? These are drugs from two groups: anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents.

  1. Anticoagulants, or drugs that inhibit blood clotting processes, are prescribed only by a doctor, and are not sold in pharmacies without a prescription. These include some tablet preparations, such as Warfarin, Phenylin. But much more often, such agents are used that are prescribed subcutaneously. This is heparin and its modifications, which belong to more modern low molecular weight fractions, for example, Fraxiparin. Since these drugs can cause a significant number of side effects when self-medicated, these drugs will not be considered in this review.
  2. Drugs from the group of antiplatelet agents(thinning) reduce the adhesion of blood cells to each other (reduce their aggregation, and, above all, platelets). They prevent the formation of so-called sludges, or columns of blood cells, which are the "embryos" of blood clots. As is known, thrombosis underlies vascular accidents leading to death, such as heart attack and stroke.

Therefore, the general indications for the appointment of thinning agents there will be an increased risk of thrombosis, the presence of progressive varicose veins, certain forms of hypertension with a high risk of heart attack and stroke, atherosclerosis and elevated plasma cholesterol levels. A separate indication for the appointment of antiplatelet agents is the overall increased risk of heart attack and stroke in the population. So, the overwhelming majority of the male population of large cities in Russia after the age of 45 has such a risk, so if a man over 45 has a tendency to sedentary work, excessive body weight, he has bad habits and especially smoking, then he is shown a reception disaggregants.

In world practice, there are not many drugs from this group that have proven effectiveness, but each of them has been tested for many years on tens of thousands of volunteers and patients with a wide variety of pathologies, and they were included in the rating. It is opened by such a well-known drug as acetylsalicylic acid, colloquially called by one of the oldest trade names - "Aspirin".

Rating of the best drugs for blood thinning

Acetylsalicylic acid (Cardiomagnyl, Thrombo-Ass, ASA - Cardio, Aspirin-Cardio)

Acetylsalicylic acid is the ancestor of a large and very important group of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The first word - "non-steroidal" - means that they have nothing to do with steroid hormones, which have the strongest ability to suppress inflammation.

Acetylsalicylic acid is an artificially enhanced natural version of one of the salicylates, which was used in medicine earlier as an antipyretic. Most of all it was contained in the bark of the white willow (salicin), it is also found in raspberries. The artificial acetylsalicylic acid molecule is a much stronger substance.

During the 20th century, many different drugs from this group were created, such as Ibuprofen, Meloxicam, Nimesulide and others. All of them, to varying degrees, are able to suppress the development of inflammation, reduce pain, and have an antipyretic effect.

Along the way, it turned out that low doses of acetylsalicylic acid, which are not high enough to reduce high temperature, with planned and long-term use, significantly reduce the risk of thrombosis and the development of heart attacks and ischemic strokes. It was found that after a single dose of acetylsalicylic acid, the effect of improving blood fluidity persists for a whole week.

The mechanism of action is based on blocking the enzyme type 1 cyclooxygenase (COX-1). This leads to the launch of a cascade of processes: the synthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxane and other substances is blocked, and this leads to a decrease in aggregation, or adhesion of platelets to each other, and suppression of thrombosis induction. The establishment of this fact was a real gift for medicine. Over the decades, a lot of practical material has accumulated, and at present, the minimum dosage that can reduce the risk of developing vascular accidents when taken daily is 75 mg. The standard dosage fluctuates around 100 mg in terms of acetylsalicylic acid.

All heart "aspirins" are designed for long-term use, and are consumed before meals with plenty of fluids. The main indications, as mentioned above, are the prevention of acute myocardial infarction, secondary prevention of heart attacks and ischemic strokes. Cardiac "aspirin" is used to prevent thromboembolic complications after surgery and various interventions on the vessels. Indications for the use of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) are very wide. These are diabetes mellitus and obesity, angina pectoris and the risk of developing vascular accidents. It is used in the presence of bad habits, and especially when smoking. The use of acetylsalicylic acid improves the condition of coronary implants, various grafts, including those after valve operations and after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Nevertheless, acetylsalicylic acid, even in such small dosages, but used for a long time, has its own contraindications. First of all, this is an exacerbation of peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, as well as erosive gastritis. These are conditions with a high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, low blood clotting, hemorrhagic diathesis. In no case should it be used during pregnancy, lactation and persons under 18 years of age. Children taking acetylsalicylic acid is strictly prohibited due to the possible development of Reye's syndrome, even death, so children are prescribed either ibuprofen or paracetamol drugs to reduce fever and reduce inflammatory symptoms.

Aspirin is contraindicated in the so-called aspirin asthma, and recurrent nasal polyposis. It can not be used in severe renal and hepatic insufficiency. There are also a large number of relative contraindications, such as gout, hyperuricemia, preoperative condition due to the possible development of bleeding.

Overdose symptoms may also occur, and they are especially dangerous in the elderly, therefore, only a doctor should prescribe ASA for long-term use.

Currently, pharmacies can buy a large number of varieties of acetylsalicylic acid in low dosage, the so-called "heart aspirins". So, if we consider the popular dosage of 100 mg, then one package, designed for a monthly intake, and consisting of 30 tablets, has a different, but low cost, depending on the manufacturer. So:

  1. ASK - Cardio, a domestic manufacturer of Medisorb, will cost an average of 50 rubles;
  2. Aspicor of the domestic manufacturer CJSC Vertex in the same dosage and in the same quantity costs 56 rubles;
  3. Cardiac manufactured by CJSC Canonpharma Production - 60 rubles.

As you can see, the price of domestic drugs is about the same. If we consider an imported drug, for example, Thrombo - ACC in the same dosage and in the amount of 28 tablets produced by the Austrian company Lannacher, then its cost will be the same - 52 rubles. for packing.

About enteric forms and systemic action

Currently, the so-called "enteric forms" of acetylsalicylic acid, or blood-thinning tablets that bypass the stomach and dissolve only in the small intestine, are very popular on the pharmaceutical market. This fact is achieved by adding a special shell for the acetylsalicylic acid tablet, which consists of magnesium hydroxide. Everyone knows that this base is part of antacid preparations, and simply helps acetylsalicylic acid bypass the acidic environment of the stomach.

According to the manufacturers, such a device helps to reduce the risk of the most common side symptom - the occurrence of an increased risk of gastric bleeding, exacerbation of ulcerative and erosive processes in the gastric mucosa.

But in fact, it has been proven for quite a long time that the ulcerogenic, or gastric ulcer-promoting action of acetylsalicylic acid is a systemic effect. This means that ASA harms the stomach not only locally, being inside it, but having already passed through the entire gastrointestinal tract and absorbed into the blood. And this means that relying only on local coverage when taking acetylsalicylic acid will be an insufficient way to protect against systemic side effects, and this can be regarded as an element of an advertising strategy.

Perhaps the most famous drug from this group will be Cardiomagnyl. You can also name such tools as Thrombital, Thrombomag, Fazostabil and so on. The price of these tablets is slightly higher than just tablets without a protective, acid-resistant shell. So, a package of Cardiomagnyl in 30 tablets of 75 mg, calculated for a month, averages 135 rubles.

Pros and cons of ASC

Whatever the disadvantages of acetylsalicylic acid, all the same, the benefits far outweigh all sorts of shortcomings (of course, if the appointment and administration of the drug is under medical supervision). The main disadvantages will be absolute contraindications - acute gastric ulcer, the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, childhood and all those conditions that were listed above. Bleeding may develop if a tooth extraction and other manipulations are performed while taking aspirin. There is a fact of development of aspirin asthma, individual intolerance to this remedy and other conditions.

But still, taking into account all the contraindications and side effects, all these cases are significantly less than the number of patients who need to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, which includes millions of people. Acetylsalicylic acid tablets are inexpensive, well tolerated by the vast majority of patients, and are considered to be truly life-prolonging agents in the presence of cardiovascular risk factors.

Curantyl (dipyridamole)

Dipyridamole, or Curantyl, is the second drug from the group of antiplatelet agents for blood thinning with proven effectiveness, but it is prescribed somewhat less frequently than acetylsalicylic acid. And this is unjustified: the advertising of ASA is so strong that dipyridamole has “pushed into the shadows”. Curantil not only improves the rheological properties of blood and helps to reduce platelet aggregation, but also has other systemic hemodynamic effects. So, it dilates blood vessels, and this effect is especially noticeable on small coronary arteries and arterioles.

As a result, Curantil reduces the total peripheral vascular resistance, helps to lower blood pressure, and further contributes to the normalization of venous outflow. In the brain, it reduces the resistance of cerebral vessels, and in obstetrics and gynecology it can improve placental blood flow, especially in various threatening conditions. In addition, dipyridamole activates the immune system, and increases the activity of the interferon induction system. As a result, this substance has not only antiaggregatory, but also angioprotective and immunomodulatory effects.

Curantyl is prescribed in the same way as acetylsalicylic acid, in order to prevent arterial and venous thrombosis, thromboembolism, and microcirculation disorders. A special indication will be the prevention of pulmonary embolism after surgical interventions, after valvular operations. Curantil is shown as a remedy for stopping placental insufficiency in complicated pregnancy. For prevention, it is necessary to take Curantil at a dosage of 75 to 225 mg per day, dividing the daily dose into several doses. The agent as a vasodilator and for prevention is used for a long time, under the supervision of a physician.

A separate indication, and very unusual for thinners, will be the prevention of influenza and respiratory viral infections. For this, the funds are used in a minimum dosage of 25 mg 2 times a day (on the same day). This dosage is used only once a week, for a month. That is, a person uses Curantyl for only 4 days per month.

The well-known German pharmaceutical company Berlin-Chemie, the Menarini group, produces Curantil. A package of 120 tablets with a dosage of 25 mg will cost an average of 650 rubles. If the patient is prescribed the minimum dosage of 75 mg per day, then this amount is enough for about a month and a half. If twice the dosage is needed, then this package may last only one month or even less. There are also domestic analogues, for example, dipyridamole, which is produced by the Obolenskoye pharmaceutical company. So, 120 tablets can be purchased at a price of only 387 rubles. This is, of course, a much smaller amount.

Pros and cons

The advantage of dipyridamole, or Curantyl, will be the ability to use it as a vasodilator (vasodilator), which acetylsalicylic acid is deprived of. It should be administered to patients several times a day, and flexibility in the daily dose is important, which can range from 75 to 600 mg. The possibility of using it in obstetrics and gynecology is important, including not only for prophylactic, but also for therapeutic purposes.

Few experts prescribe dipyridamole as an antiviral or immunomodulatory substance, but, nevertheless, some experience has been gained in its use during periods of SARS and influenza epidemics. Of course, dipyridamole is considered a more expensive drug than the numerous trade names of acetylsalicylic acid, but at the same time it also “works” not only as a disaggregant. It not only affects the rheological properties of blood, but also improves hemodynamics in the cardiac, cerebral and placental vessels.

Of course, dipyridamole also has contraindications, such as acute heart attack, unstable angina, severe forms of hypertension and hypotension, hemorrhagic disorders and childhood. It is especially necessary to remember that coffee and tea, which are consumed in significant quantities, weaken the effect of Curantyl.

Plavix, Deplatt, Zilt, Clopigrant, Lopirel, Egitromb (clopidogrel)

Plavix, or clopidogrel (INN), will be a serious drug, and also belongs to antiplatelet agents, like ASA, which thins the blood. Naturally, the higher power and strength of Plavix will never push ASK to second and third positions. The fact is that aspirin is immeasurably cheaper, as well as widespread and safe to use. Clopidogrel, on the other hand, has a completely different mechanism of action, associated with an irreversible change in specific receptors on platelets.

Clopidogrel was first introduced into clinical practice in 1997, and was initially used in fairly serious cardiac patients. Indications for the appointment were acute coronary syndrome, including changes in the ECG, percutaneous coronary intervention, and other cases. Sufficiently high efficiency was noted in patients with unstable angina pectoris. In the outpatient clinic, it is important that a lot of experience has been gained in the use of clopidogrel in patients with atherosclerosis, in particular with chronic cerebral ischemia. Therefore, in the event that a patient has resistance to antithrombotic therapy, and aspirin alone cannot cope with improving the rheological properties of blood, then clopidogrel is the drug of choice or expansion of the regimen, especially if the cardiovascular system has already been compromised by myocardial infarction. or the presence of unstable angina.

One of the important advantages of clopidogrel over acetylsalicylic acid will be the ability to prescribe it to patients with unstable angina, which is based on vasospasm, and aspirin is contraindicated in this diagnosis.

It is important that Plavix can be used not only as monotherapy, but also together with acetylsalicylic acid, and even as part of triple antithrombotic therapy. Thus, Plavix was effective in such a complex combination as its combined use with acetylsalicylic acid and the anticoagulant Warfarin. This combination may be necessary in patients with atrial fibrillation and with prosthetic heart valves.

Typically, the standard dosage of Plavix in patients with atherosclerotic vascular changes who have recently had a heart attack or stroke is 75 mg per day. Already at this dosage, there is a statistically significant reduction in the risk of recurrent heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death. It is important that the use of clopidogrel was associated with a significantly lower number of side effects, such as the development of gastrointestinal bleeding, compared with acetylsalicylic acid. It is necessary to take Plavix for a long time.

Currently, in the pharmacy you can buy both original medicines for thinning - Plavix manufactured by Sanofi, and generics. So, a package of Plavix with a dosage of 75 mg, designed for a monthly course, costs an average of 990 rubles. Indian generics, such as Clapitax, will cost half as much. Clopidogrel Canon, produced by the domestic pharmaceutical company CJSC Canonpharma Production, will cost 340 rubles. Perhaps this is one of the cheapest analogues in the domestic market.

Pros and cons

First of all, you need to remember that Plavix, or any clopidogrel, is a serious drug for compromised patients. It should not be taken simply by relatively young people with a low level of physical activity, overweight and bad habits. With prevention in this case, acetylsalicylic acid will do just fine. But patients with the development of systemic atherothrombosis, after various heart operations, who have had a heart attack or stroke, it is necessary to use this medicine for secondary prevention.

A very big plus is the fact that it is combined with acetylsalicylic acid, and for such persons it significantly reduces the risk of cardiac death when compared with a separate intake of ASA. The downside of clopidogrel is considered to be a rather high cost, and the need, against the background of its use, to regularly monitor various bleeding options, as well as monitor the functional state of the liver.

Trental, Agapurin, Vasonite (pentoxifylline)

Previous drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel regulated blood clotting by changing the properties of platelets. Trental (Pentoxifylline INN) acts as a thinner in several ways. It reduces platelet aggregation, but it also affects red blood cells. It improves their ability to tolerate deformation, especially penetrating through small capillaries. Pentoxifylline reduces the concentration of fibrinogen, which regulates the rate of occurrence of blood clots, reduces the ability of adhesion, or adhesion, of white blood cells to the inner vascular wall. Therefore, as a result, the normalization of the rheological properties of the blood is complemented by an improvement in microcirculation and a vasodilating, or vasodilating effect.

Pentoxifylline is an active ingredient, and the mechanism of action of this compound is associated with a decrease in the activity of phosphodiesterase (PDE) in vascular muscle cells and in blood elements.

The great value of this drug is the improvement of capillary blood flow, or microcirculation, in areas with their violation. Therefore, pentoxifylline and its varieties are indicated for all vascular diseases that are accompanied by impaired capillary blood flow.

These are various trophic ulcers on the legs, including diabetes and severe stages of varicose veins. Pentoxifylline is prescribed for diabetic angiopathy, for various disorders of cerebral circulation. Most often, Trental is prescribed to patients with cerebral atherosclerosis, but it can also be used in people with post-traumatic and alcoholic encephalopathy, dizziness, and memory impairment. Trental is indicated in case of development of sensorineural hearing loss, with circulatory disorders in the retina. It is prescribed in outpatient practice in tablets of 100 mg, three times a day, followed by a gradual increase in dose by half. In this case, you can not use pentoxifylline more than 1200 mg per day in three doses, that is, a single dose should not exceed 400 mg. Treatment with small doses is also possible, especially in patients with low blood pressure. After all, Trental has a vasodilating effect, and can independently lower blood pressure. The duration of the course is set by the doctor.

Trental is produced by the manufacturer Sanofi-Aventis, and the average cost of a package of 60 tablets of 100 mg is 530 rubles. With an average dosage of 600 mg per day, such a package is enough for only 10 days, and the monthly cost of the course will be about 1600 rubles. Therefore, Trental cannot be considered a cheap remedy.

Pros and cons

A big plus of Trental will be the ability to influence the microcirculatory bed. This allows him to cope with rather complex conditions in which various trophic disorders occur. However, it is contraindicated in massive bleeding, various acute processes, such as heart attack and stroke, retinal hemorrhage. Do not use it in pregnant women, in nursing mothers and in children. There are many relative contraindications. One of them is the joint appointment of Trental with Clopidogrel, and acetylsalicylic acid. Unlike its predecessors, this remedy is not used with other drugs from the genus of antiplatelet agents. But, despite all the disadvantages, pentoxifylline is indispensable in large groups of patients who, in old age, suffer from chronic peripheral circulatory disorders, whether it is the lower limbs, the retina of the eye, or the microvasculature of the brain.

Wessel Due F, Angioflux (sulodexide)

Perhaps the last in the cohort of "big" drugs for blood thinning can be called Wessel Due F. Its active ingredient is sulodexide, and there are almost no analogues on the domestic pharmaceutical market. You can also find Angioflux, which is produced by the domestic company Sotex Pharma. The original Wessel Due F is produced by the Italian pharmaceutical company Alfa Wasserman. This blood thinning medicine is available in ampoules, in capsules of 250 units each, and a package of sulodexide in 50 capsules will cost from 2,700 rubles.

As you can see, sulodexide is very expensive for the average Russian consumer of drugs. Why is he so expensive? Sulodexide improves the rheological properties of blood, reduces thrombosis, protects blood vessels, and at the same time has an anticoagulant effect. That is, it acts not only on the cellular, platelet link, but also on plasma factors of hemostasis. Sulodexide is a natural compound of animal origin. It is secreted from the mucous membrane of the porcine intestine. The main component is a low molecular weight heparin-like fraction. Thus, the drug does not affect platelets, not their tendency to thrombosis, but shows a special affinity for certain coagulation factors: antithrombin III and heparin cofactor II.

Therefore, the antithrombotic effect is realized in completely different ways than that of acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel and pentoxifylline. Activation of the X factor of plasma coagulation is suppressed, the secretion of prostacyclin increases and the amount of fibrinogen decreases. That is why Wessel Due F is expensive: it acts gently, but at once on several links of hemostasis, both cellular and plasma. It is a disaggregant and anticoagulant "in one bottle".

Sulodexide is indicated for use in patients with a high risk of thrombosis: after a heart attack, with various forms of hypertensive encephalopathy complicated by atherosclerosis. Wessel Due F is indicated in complex therapy for patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and vascular dementia. This remedy is successfully used in persons with occlusive lesions of the arterial vessels of the lower extremities against the background of atherosclerosis and diabetes. A very important indication is the treatment of a particular complication called heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. It develops sometimes after taking heparin.

Initially, the drug is usually used intramuscularly for 2-3 weeks, and then inside, one capsule a day between meals for a month.

Pros and cons

The advantage of Wessel Due F can be considered its effectiveness and good tolerability. Overdoses are rare, side effects are mild. The most common are various functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and allergic reactions. This drug, under the supervision of a physician, can be used in pregnant women and in nursing mothers, except for the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Hypersensitivity and increased bleeding, or the manifestation of hemorrhagic diathesis, can be considered a strict contraindication. Perhaps such mildness of action and a small number of contraindications is dictated by the natural origin of sulodexide. Currently, Wessel Due F is an indispensable tool in the complex therapy of various thrombotic conditions, peripheral circulatory disorders, especially in cases where the patient has intolerance or contraindications to the appointment of acetylsalicylic acid and its analogues.

In conclusion, we can say that this rating of drugs for improving the indicators of the rheological properties of blood did not include drugs derived from leeches, drugs for the treatment of varicose veins based on hesperidin, diosmin and escin, many drugs based on medicinal plants and folk remedies for blood thinning . This rating included only those drugs that have a proven global effectiveness and a large clinical research base, and at the same time have a systemic effect.

Thick blood - with a lack of fluid

The most important thing in life is health.

Blood clotting in the human body entails a lot of health problems.

Then there is a need to take various and blood-thinning pills.

Otherwise, diseases can arise that bring a lot of trouble.

And it is better to prevent the disease than to treat it later.

There are many diseases that require medical blood thinning:

  • hypertension
  • Heart attack and stroke
  • Phlebeurysm
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Thrombophlebitis

Basically, all of the above begin to develop due to the cause of thick blood. We all know that blood is made up of 90% water and 10% formed elements.

When insufficient fluid enters the body, the viscosity of the blood increases. This change in blood consistency leads to the formation of blood clots that clog blood vessels and veins.

As a result of this, blood clots and many diseases can form, since the blood circulates incompletely in the body. And many processes in the work of each organ depend on the quality of blood.

Because one of the conditions for the full-fledged work of the body is a sufficient amount of oxygen, which carries the blood through the organs.

If you suspect the development of the disease, you should immediately consult a doctor, because at the initial stage they will help, but if blood clots appear in the body, then it will be very difficult, almost impossible, to get rid of them. A thrombus is fatal.

When blood circulation is disturbed and clots appear, then the functionality of the blood decreases in order. As a result, the work of tissues, cells and organs is disrupted. That is why it is necessary to maintain the quality of the blood.

There can be many reasons for the formation of blood clots:

  • Drinking insufficient water and its poor quality (dirty, chlorinated, carbonated).
  • Wrong nutrition. Insufficient intake of minerals and vitamins.
  • Ecology. Living in polluted regions or near harmful plants and factories.
  • Large consumption of sweets. Excess sugar in the body.
  • Dehydration.
  • Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Excessive physical activity.
  • Acidification of the body and toxins.
  • Increased functions of the spleen.

All these factors directly affect the quality of blood in the body. To understand that you have a thickening of the blood, you need to familiarize yourself with the signs:

  • First, there is rapid fatigue and constant drowsiness.
  • Secondly, irritability, loss of appetite.
  • And thirdly, bad memory.

One of these symptoms may indicate a decrease in blood quality. Even depression can start as a result of education. This is due to a lack of oxygen due to poor blood circulation.

First of all, you need to establish food and drink. The amount of water is correctly calculated by 30 gr. per 1 kg. Weight. In this case, the water must be clean - mineral (without gas) or filtered.

Be sure to drink water half an hour before meals, and half an hour after. Tea, coffee and drinks do not count. Pure water must be supplied to the body.

A very important aspect for maintaining the body in a healthy state is blood thinning by all possible:

  • Medical methods (taking drugs and blood thinning pills)
  • Hirudotherapy - blood purification with medical leeches
  • Using the methods of traditional medicine
  • Consuming blood thinners

It is very important to take into account all these points and follow them, because no one will take care of your health except you. The main thing to remember is that everything is good in moderation.

They do not have a thrombolytic effect, but they can prevent blood clots and blockages in the veins and blood vessels, which lead to many diseases.

As a rule, such drugs are often used during the rehabilitation period after surgery, when there is a high probability of circulatory disorders and blood clots.

Also, such funds are relevant for blood loss or vascular diseases.

You should not engage in self-medication, since there are many such drugs, only a doctor can determine exactly which ones are right for you and in what doses.

Blood thinners are divided into two groups:

  • Anticoagulants. This is a group of drugs whose action is aimed at reducing fibrin. As a result, blood clotting decreases and the risk of blood clots decreases. There are direct and indirect drugs. Direct - these are those that begin to work immediately after taking, for example, Heparin. And drugs of indirect action must be drunk in a course in order to achieve what you want. These include Fenilin, Sinkumar, Warfarin and others.
  • Antiplatelet agents. These drugs prevent the formation of blood clots by aggregating platelets. The group of these drugs has many contraindications, so you need to take them strictly according to the doctor's prescription. The most popular means of the group of antiageants are Trenal and Aspirin.

Tablets are considered the most effective blood thinner because they are quickly absorbed and begin to work.

Aspirin

Aspirin tablets are a very popular and affordable drug. It is taken to prevent various vascular diseases and stroke. The norm is 125 mg. per day for an adult. This is a quarter of a 0.5 milligram tablet.

Many years ago, medicine proved the properties of Aspirin to thin the blood and improve its circulation, as well as prevent the appearance of blood clots, which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. People over 50 are recommended to take these pills.

Many cardiologists advise supporting your body with Aspirin. But it should be remembered that, like any medical drug, Aspirin has side effects. It negatively affects the work and functioning of the entire gastric tract.

People with asthma or ulcers should not take these tablets. It is better to choose other blood thinning drugs that do not affect the functioning of the digestive tract.

Cardiomagnyl

These tablets were developed by Russian pharmacists and have recently gained immense popularity. The tablets contain two main active ingredients:

  • Acetylsalicylic acid
  • magnesium hydroxide

These two components perfectly interact and complement each other's properties, as a result of which Cardiomagnyl reduces the risk of blood clots and blood clots. Acetylsalicylic acid thins the blood, reduces its viscosity and prevents cardiovascular diseases.

And magnesium hydroxide, in turn, softens the effect of aspirin, but does not affect its quality. Thus, these tablets do not disrupt the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and have much fewer contraindications than pure aspirin.

The tablets are not hormonal or narcotic, so they can be used at any age. Usually the doctor ascribes Cardiomagnyl to people with such diseases:

  • Migraine
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Phlebeurysm
  • Thrombosis
  • High blood pressure
  • angina pectoris
  • Deterioration of brain activity
  • As a prophylaxis in case of heredity to cardiovascular diseases
  • In the postoperative period

When taking Cardiomagnyl, you must strictly follow the dose and doctor's recommendations so as not to cause complications.

Curantyl

Curantyl is prescribed to people who are at risk of developing varicose veins, cardiovascular diseases and in violation of brain activity.

It thins the blood and prevents the formation of blood clots and blood clots that can block and disrupt circulation. These tablets can be taken as a prophylaxis or as an additional tool in the complex treatment of the disease.

Phenylin

These tablets belong to the group of drugs of indirect action. That is, for its effective action, you need to undergo a course of treatment. Due to the action of the drug, blood clotting slows down and the risk of clots is reduced.

Tablets should not be taken for a long time, because they have many side effects. Phenylin can be drunk only under the supervision of a doctor and strictly observing the dosage.

Aspecard

Another representative of non-narcotic analgesics, the active ingredient of which is acetylsalicylic acid. Aspekard is famous for its antipyretic, analgesic and blood-thinning properties.

Aspirin in Aspekard slows down the work of enzymes that contribute to the appearance of blood clots.

These tablets are prescribed for the prevention of thrombosis, after operations - to improve blood circulation. In case of violation of renal activity and with lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, Aspecard is strictly prohibited to.

blood pills for varicose veins

Now very many people know varicose veins. According to statistics, this disease affects every third woman and every fifth man.

Moreover, this is only the official data of patients who turn to doctors. Varicose veins occur due to various factors, such as physical activity, overweight, chronic diseases or heredity.

At the same time, the vessels lose their elasticity, and clots form in the blood, which clog the veins. Treating varicose veins is very difficult and almost impossible except for surgical intervention.

Gels, ointments and tablets are relevant only at the initial stage of the disease. All these drugs must have the following properties:

  • Blood thinning
  • Strengthening the walls of blood vessels
  • Prevention of thrombus formation

Tablets that thin the blood at should be prescribed by a doctor, based on the state of the vessels and veins of each patient. The most common and effective are such means:

  • Phlebodia 600. The active components of these tablets prevent stagnation of blood in the veins, they improve blood circulation and relieve swelling.
  • Detralex - this tool has similar properties. Thanks to these tablets, the vessels become more elastic, through which the blood passes, without stagnation.
  • Thrombo ASS. This drug contains aspirin, which thins the blood. Tablets can be taken if there are no stomach problems.

In the treatment of varicose veins, complex treatment will be relevant. That is, taking pills and, for example, creams. When applied, the cream (gel, ointment, spray) penetrates through the pores of the skin and enters the painful focus.

The components of the product are able to affect the strengthening of blood vessels. But the result will be exclusively with an integrated approach. Without tablets, creams and ointments will not give any result.

Blood thinning in pregnant women

During pregnancy, a woman should more than ever monitor her health.

After all, now she is responsible for the health of her unborn baby.

The density of blood during this period is a fairly frequent phenomenon.

From 12 weeks, each is obliged to register with the antenatal clinic, where doctors will monitor the health of the expectant mother and the developing fetus every month.

Having passed a blood test, quite often you can hear that the blood density indicators are high.

This is not a reason to panic, but this fact cannot be ignored, as it can be harmful to health. Too thick blood can lead to the formation of blood clots in the body, increases the risk of heart attack and miscarriage.

It is better not to take blood thinning pills during pregnancy. Most drugs during childbearing and during breastfeeding are prohibited. To do this, you can use foods that have a positive effect on blood quality:

  • Natural chocolate and cocoa
  • Birch sap and decoction of birch buds
  • Olive oil
  • Pomegranate juice

It is also worth taking care of those that thicken the blood:

  • Bananas
  • Buckwheat
  • Alcohol
  • Carbonated drinks

For many disorders of the hematopoietic system, it is advisable to take special blood thinning pills. After all, a change in some components of this biological fluid leads to the fact that it becomes thick. And this is one of the main causes of strokes, heart attacks and other dangerous diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Fund groups

All blood thinning pills developed by pharmacists can be conditionally divided into two parts. The first of these is anticoagulants. These drugs are designed to reduce the activity of the blood coagulation system. They oppress her, and this leads to the fact that the time required for the formation of clots increases. This group includes the means "Warfarin", "Heparin", "Trombo Ass", "Detralex" and others.

In addition to anticoagulants, there are other drugs designed to thin the blood. They are called antiplatelet agents. Their action is based on the fact that they interfere with the natural process of platelets sticking together. Most of them contain salicylates in their composition. These are the substances that are the basis of aspirin. In addition to the specified drug, this group includes Trental, Ticlopidin, Cardiomagnyl, Aspirin Cardio.

Indications

It is necessary to choose which blood thinning pills to take only with a doctor. Only a specialist can choose the right drugs and set the right dosage. So, thick blood is not only a risk of strokes and heart attacks. It is the reason that the supply of organs and tissues with oxygen is deteriorating.

In a hospital setting, expectant mothers can be given the drug "Heparin". It does not cross the placenta and does not affect the fetus. But with its appointment, the risk of premature birth and spontaneous abortion increases. To avoid such negative consequences, this drug is used only under the supervision of doctors.

Phlebeurysm

Many diseases require drugs that prevent the formation of blood clots in the body. It is no exception, and with this disease, it is important to monitor and prevent its thickening. Local remedies, such as Lyoton ointment, have proven themselves well. Also, the funds "Kurantil" or "Dipyridamole" are often prescribed.

In this disease, doctors recommend the use of anticoagulants. In addition to the "Kurantil" tablets, other blood thinning tablets can be prescribed for varicose veins. Often, doctors recommend injections of Clexane or Fraxiparin, which are low molecular weight analogues of Heparin.

Thrombosis

If you have a tendency to thicken the blood, then you need to carefully monitor your condition. After all, it is important to prevent the formation of blood clots. For these purposes, injectables are often used, for example, "Heparin" or its low molecular weight analogues. After undergoing an intensive course of treatment, the therapy regimen is changed. To prevent the appearance of new blood clots, warfarin blood thinning pills are prescribed. This remedy is an action derived from coumarin. When using it, it is important to follow all the recommendations of the doctor and adhere to the dosages indicated in the instructions. Otherwise, there is a risk of severe bleeding.

With extensive, other means may be prescribed. In such cases, a remedy may be recommended that is capable of sucking up blood clots, as it were. So, doctors often prescribe the drug "Alteplase".

Operational interventions

After many heart surgeries, especially those involving a mechanical valve, special blood-thinning pills must be taken. Otherwise, there is a risk of blood clots. In this case, "Warfarin" or "Aspirin", as well as its analogues, may be prescribed. In some cases, they are recommended to drink at the same time.

At the same time, it was found that about 70% of patients can refuse to take drugs intended for blood thinning, and this will not lead to complications. But if the patient had a tendency to form blood clots, or atrial fibrillation was diagnosed, then they become mandatory.

Preparations "Cardiomagnyl" and "Trombo Ass"

One of the most popular antiplatelet drugs is aspirin or other drugs that include acetylsalicylic acid. For example, Cardiomagnyl blood thinning tablets contain, in addition to the indicated main active substance, it also neutralizes the negative effects of acetylsalicylic acid on the gastrointestinal mucosa.

A remedy is prescribed to prevent problems with blood vessels and the heart, such as acute failure or thrombosis. There is a certain group of patients who need to drink it: people suffering from diabetes, obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, unstable angina. Also, prevention should be done by all elderly patients and those who smoke.

Tablets for blood thinning "TromboAss" are prescribed in the same cases as the drug "Cardiomagnyl". But before using them, it is important to remember that they do not contain magnesium that can protect the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines.

Contraindications

When using antiplatelet agents, you must be very careful. After all, the list of contraindications they have is quite large. Among them:

brain hemorrhage,

Tendency to bleed

Bronchial asthma caused by the intake of salicylic group drugs;

Erosions or ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract in the acute phase;

severe renal failure;

Hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid.

There are a number of other situations in which it is not advisable to drink antiplatelet drugs. With caution, blood thinning tablets are prescribed to patients with gout, a history of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach or intestines, with nasal polyposis, allergic conditions, in the second trimester of pregnancy and under the age of 18 years.

Given all of the above, you should not drink these drugs without a doctor's prescription. Only a specialist can assess how much they are needed by the patient, choose the most suitable remedy and determine the desired dosage.

  • Lack of enzymes for the breakdown of nutrients;
  • Dehydration, prolonged exposure to the sun;
  • Excessive physical activity;

These factors affect the quality and density of blood. Early manifestations of pathology are drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, memory loss, depression.

Diseases that provoke blood viscosity:

  • Varicose veins;

  • Atherosclerosis;
  • Hemorrhage in the brain.

In the absence of compensatory treatment, all this can lead to the formation of blood clots, therefore, patients are indicated for use tablets for blood thinning and preventing thrombosis.

Food


The diet helps to achieve positive dynamics while reducing blood clotting. There are products that make it thicker, others, on the contrary, dilute it.

  • Kefir and yogurt from cow's milk;
  • Dietary meats - chicken breasts, turkey (without skin and fat).
  • Patients need to drink more fluids - water reduces the viscosity of the blood and improves the absorption of nutrients. An adult needs to drink about 2 liters of clean water without gas per day.

    It is also useful to drink herbal and fruit teas (ginger, strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, green) and juices from fresh vegetables and fruits.

    Rapid blood clotting is commonly referred to as thick blood. If its indicators are not within normal limits, then this contributes to the development of serious diseases.

    Such as:

    • Oncology;
    • Thrombosis;
    • Heart diseases;
    • Varicose veins;
    • Strokes and other diseases and pathologies.

    With rapid blood clotting, a therapy is prescribed that thins the blood, improving the passage of blood through the vascular channels, and reducing the load on the heart.

    Thrombus dissolution

    Note! With the frequent use of such drugs, the walls of the stomach and intestinal system collapse, the duration of therapy should be prescribed by a doctor!

    Due to the harmful effects of drugs on the stomach, more and more people are interested in folk methods for thinning the blood. Such products help to achieve the same result, without the use of therapy courses.

    The main factors affecting liquefaction are:

    • Medications;
    • Ethnoscience;
    • Sufficient amount of water intake;
    • Proper food;
    • Healthy lifestyle.

    Why should I thin my blood?

    If the above arguments have not yet convinced you, then consider a more detailed picture.

    Excessive consumption of food with a high concentration of protein, and a small amount of carbohydrates:

    • Dairy;
    • Cheeses;
    • Nuts;
    • Meat products;
    • Eggs.

    As a result, the alkaline blood reaction increases, due to which gluing of cells is formed in the blood, it thickens, which leads to hypertension.


    Consequences of hypertension

    Development of atherosclerosis also provokes thick blood. Due to the fact that fats and calcium salts are deposited on the walls of the arteries, their elasticity drops significantly and makes them stiff.

    The formation of blood clots on the inside of the veins leads to their inflammation. In the sequence of which thrombophlebitis is diagnosed.

    Attention! With this diagnosis, bleeding increases during operations or childbirth, which can lead to serious consequences.

    By strengthening the vessels, the blood thickens even in situations with varicose veins. By taking liquefying foods, these diseases can be avoided, and long courses of therapy can be avoided. These include foods with a high concentration of vitamins C and P, and bioflavins, fresh fruits and vegetables contain their high concentration.

    What can cause blood clotting?

    Factors that a person influences himself, less often pathologies, lead to a thickening of red cells.

    Reasons for requiring liquefaction:

    • Wrong nutrition.
      An assistant in the development of many diseases is malnutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle. A large concentration of fats and sugars in the food taken increases the density of the blood;
    • Crisis of vitamins
      The lack of vitamins E, B6 and C in the body leads to the fact that the blood has to be thinned forcibly. The lack of these vitamins is often observed in pregnant women and malnutrition. As estrogen rises, the chance of blood clots increases.
    • Drinking small amounts of water
      Remember that doctors recommend drinking 1.5-2 liters of clean water per day, that is, in addition to tea, coffee, sugary drinks, soups, etc. Drying the body also results in the loss of water in the blood.
    • Nervous breakdowns
      Stressful situations and constant tension kill vitamins and minerals in the body, constricting blood vessels, thereby increasing pressure.
    • Alcohol and cigarettes
      Alcoholic drinks take water from the body, and when smoking, you need to consume vitamins much more than normal.

    Thrombus formation

    Note! The effect of red wine on the blood is ambiguous. This alcoholic drink, when used in moderation, dilutes, bringing benefits. The main thing is not to abuse.

    • Pathologies
      Varicose veins, diabetes mellitus, high blood cholesterol, high hemoglobin levels, spleen diseases and other diseases increase the load on the heart system, since the walls of blood vessels do not contract, and blood cells stick together into blood clots.

    What danger is fraught with thick blood?

    Blood that requires liquefaction has increased clotting rates.

    The first symptoms are:

    • Constant sleepiness;
    • Shrinking memory;
    • Apathy.

    Important! If symptoms are detected, it is better to immediately go to the hospital for examination. Remember that early detection of the disease reduces the cost and duration of its treatment.


    Consequences of negligence to your body.

    Inattention to symptoms can lead to:

    • Thrombosis of the arteries in the lungs (thromboembolism);
    • heart attacks;
    • Strokes;
    • Hypertensive crisis;
    • Thrombophlebitis.

    Scientists also believe that poor blood circulation is the cause of cancer.

    Drugs that thin the concentration in the blood

    Thinners include:

    • Medications;
    • certain foodstuffs;
    • Medicinal plants (folk remedies);

    First of all, it is necessary to normalize the intake of clean drinking water, because in moments of shortage, the body begins to take it from blood cells and tissues, which subsequently thickens the blood. For a good blood thinning, you should consume at least 1.5 liters of clean drinking non-carbonated water throughout the day.


    The importance of water for the body

    Sour-milk products dilute, so its regular use will reduce the risk of increased clotting.

    As well as:

    • Vinegar;
    • Natural apple;
    • Grape juice diluted with a little water.

    Strengthens blood vessels and increases their elasticity products containing polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    Which are contained:

    • In olive oil;
    • Halibut;
    • Salmon;
    • Mackerel;
    • Or in special Omega vitamins (3, 6 or 9, or complexes 3-6-9).

    Another name for them is fish oil. It performs all the same functions, but it will cost much less than eating red fish every day.

    Vitamin A- thins the blood, counteracts atherosclerosis.

    Vitamin E- necessary for the eyes, skin and liver, fights stress and nervous tension, plus cleans the veins from blood clots, and reduces the risk of thrombosis.

    Be carefull! The use of products for blood thinning in combination with drugs, the same action, leads to bleeding, and even strokes.

    Advice! When eating sunflower seeds, the body will receive both magnesium and vitamin E immediately.

    What drugs cause blood thinning?

    Since blood thinning drugs damage the stomach, you should consult your doctor about taking therapy (its amount, and the time of taking the drugs). To reduce viscosity, use the following drugs (Table 1):

    Name of the drugDose to takeAction

    Remember! It is better to consult about the appointment of treatment, doses of use and the duration of the course with a qualified doctor.

    What foods help thin the blood?

    If you maintain proper nutrition, you can do without drugs. For starters, you should put your diet in order by reducing the consumption of foods that thicken the blood.
