"Asparkam": positive reviews
Why do doctors prescribe Aspark to patients? Human health largely depends on the full saturation of the body with potassium and magnesium. It interacts with a huge number of organic compounds and is present in all human tissues. Its deficiency is manifested by heart rhythm disturbances, depressive states, cramps in the limbs, deterioration of the hair, nail plates, and general weakness of the body.
To compensate for the lack of these important microelements, doctors prescribe Asparkam. What does the medicine help with? The drug helps normalize metabolic processes, eliminates muscle spasms, improves synoptic transmission in the nervous system, has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, relieves joint pain and relieves a number of other complex health problems.
Most users are satisfied with the drug. Here's what those who took the medicine as prescribed by their doctor say on the Internet:
Konovalov.Kardan calls “Asparkam” vitamins for the heart. He writes that he is very pleased with the product, which qualitatively nourishes the cardiovascular system of the body with the necessary microelements. Within three days of starting to take the medicine, he was free of pain. The user notes the low cost of the medicine:
I know from my own experience how wonderfully this drug helps. Even as a teenager, I periodically felt pain in the heart area and sometimes it seemed to freeze. Apparently these were problems associated with adolescence, but it was still unpleasant. Mom bought me a package of Asparkam and I started taking 2 tablets a day after meals. After 3 days I completely forgot where my heart was.

User Chester shares that the main reason for taking the drug for her was constantly being under stress. In addition, the woman was worried about cramps in the calf muscles. Chester says that despite taking the medicine for a short time, she felt the fastest possible effect and hopes for further improvement in her body’s condition:
First of all, I started taking Asparkam to increase my resistance to stress, and I also began to notice cramps in my ankles, so far in a mild form, painless, but I can already feel them. I know that a lack of magnesium can lead to seizures, so at the first sign I recommend starting treatment; Asparkam usually helps me quickly cope with seizures.
What do those who bought Asparkam for children say? Epifania77 comments that she was concerned that the child was prescribed the drug at such an early age, but gave Asparkam. The tablets, whose instructions indicate that the medicine is not recommended for children under 18 years of age, helped the baby. The woman shares that when taking the drug, redness of the cheeks and slight dryness of the skin were observed:
I was very surprised by the information in the contraindications column - children under 18 years of age, although it is stated in parentheses that “efficacy and safety have not been established.” There was a slight dryness and slight redness of the cheeks, but it was not possible to understand and track which drug was used, since the treatment was complex and very intense, and other drugs, injections and electrophoresis were also taken at the same time.
User Fitonyasha took Asparkam for weight loss. Against the background of her measures to combat excess weight, severe cramps of the leg muscles arose, which were very painful. The girl was pleased with the rapid relief of painful cramps within a week after starting to take the medicine:
I took Asparkam for cramps in the calf muscles against the backdrop of a salt-free diet and intense training, the drug helped quickly, literally for a week, and I began to sleep peacefully. Despite the fact that the pain no longer bothered me, I completed the course and for several months now the pain no longer bothers me.

Terra2004 says that she purchased Asparkam for her husband - he was tormented by painful cramps at night. The woman writes that she decided to try Asparkam. Terra2004 shares that she was surprised by the quick effect after starting to take the medicine:
My husband immediately started taking Asparkam and after two days we noticed that his muscles had calmed down and he slept peacefully at night. Amazing, almost instant results! To be honest, I didn’t expect it! A week has passed since taking the first pill and there are no signs of cramping in my leg!
In other positive reviews, users cite accessibility, low price, quick noticeable results, elimination of side effects when taking diuretics, and good tolerance of the drug by older people as advantages.
Asparkam
Asparkam is a combined metabolic agent designed to compensate for the deficiency of potassium and magnesium in the body and is used in the complex treatment of a number of cardiovascular diseases (heart failure, coronary heart disease and some arrhythmias). Among all the main intracellular ions that regulate biochemical processes in the body, potassium and magnesium stand apart. Potassium takes part in the regulation of nerve impulses, muscle fiber contraction, myocardial function and many other vital functions. Magnesium, in turn, is an inducer for more than 300 enzymes in the body. In addition, being a physiological calcium antagonist, it prevents spontaneous contractions of smooth and skeletal muscles. Both potassium and magnesium are also involved in the polarization of cell membranes. The development of deficiency conditions associated with a lack of these ions is due to their increased elimination from the body, which can occur with diseases of the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, the use of diuretics and cardiac glycosides, and alcohol abuse. Another, much more commonplace reason for potassium-magnesium deficiency is the insufficient intake of these ions into the body along with food. The result of a lack of potassium and magnesium ions in the body is disruption of the functioning of the cardiovascular system and heart rhythm disturbances. Arrhythmias, as well as infarction and post-infarction conditions are “reinforced concrete” grounds for prescribing injectable asparkam. This drug will help timely and effectively deliver potassium and magnesium ions into the intracellular matrix.
Asparkam is indicated for arrhythmias caused by hypokalemia, abuse of cardiac glycosides, ventricular extrasystole, as well as circulatory failure. The drug is advisable to use to compensate for hypokalemia during treatment with loop diuretics. Other conditions when taking asparkam can be extremely useful: angina pectoris (in complex treatment), during heart surgery. There are quite a few foreign brands on the Russian pharmaceutical market that are similar in composition to asparkam, for example, Panangin from the Hungarian pharmaceutical company or potassium-magnesium asparaginate from the German Berlin Chemie. Nevertheless, due to its low cost, domestic asparkam is quite competitive even among these “monsters”. As clinical studies of the drug have shown, when taken by patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction, the concentration of potassium and magnesium in the blood recovers faster and is maintained at a consistently normal level. Asparkam improves the general condition of heart patients and increases their resistance to physical activity. Significantly reduces the severity and frequency of angina attacks and arrhythmias, which leads to an increase in the quality of life of patients. The drug has a favorable safety profile. During a course of treatment in therapeutic doses, asparkam is well tolerated by patients.
Asparkam is available in two dosage forms: tablets and solution for intravenous administration. A single dose of the drug is 1-2 tablets taken 3 times a day after meals or 500 mg solution administered 1-2 times a day.

Due to frequent stress, leg cramps began to bother me, especially at night. I could have floundered half the night. It’s good that my mother suggested that under stress, potassium is quickly washed out of the body, which is precisely why my legs began to cramp. The cheapest potassium preparation is Asparkam. Well, without hesitation, I ran to the pharmacy. I took 2 tablets 3 times a day. I felt the effect instantly, the first night I slept well, my legs didn’t bother me. By the way, the general condition of the body has also improved, it has become much calmer and more balanced.
Asparkam also helps with stabbing pain in the heart caused by a lack of potassium, tested on myself. So I recommend it to everyone.

After stress, when my blood pressure rises or due to the weather, I experience heart rhythm disturbances such as interruptions. On the cardiogram, the doctor identified atrial extrasystoles and recommended a potassium-enriched diet or the drug asparkam, Panangin can be used, but it is more expensive. The potassium diet consists of jacket potatoes, prunes, beets, bananas, etc. It’s somehow impossible to consume a lot of the listed products, so I put asparkam in a visible place in the kitchen and used one tablet after meals twice a day as a dietary supplement. I felt the effect after a few days - there were fewer rhythm disturbances, and then I forgot about them, but asparkam is always in the kitchen. From time to time I take a tablet after meals. Doctors say that arrhythmia occurs more often if the heart does not have enough potassium.

My mother was prescribed the drug Asparkam by a cardiologist. Her ECG showed slight changes associated with cardiac malnutrition. As the cardiologist explained to my mother, the heart cannot work well without oxygen and some other microelements, such as potassium and magnesium. And when the nutrition of the heart deteriorates (there is not enough oxygen, potassium and magnesium), the heart begins to work worse, and there may even be heart rhythm disturbances. The drug Asparkam contains these microelements, potassium and magnesium. My mother took Asparkam 2 tablets 3 times a day for two weeks. Two weeks later I did an ECG again and improvements were already visible during treatment. So, Asparkam is a very good drug. It's practically safe. And it is quite inexpensive, around 20 rubles for a large package of 50 tablets. Also, along with Asparkam, my mother also took this drug

The doctor prescribed this drug ASPARCAM to me because I had rhythm disturbances - arrhythmia. When I got a little stressed, my heart began to skip a beat and I had no strength; when I was sleeping, something was suffocating, pressing, pulling on my heart. Especially when I had to wake up, get out of bed, get dressed, do something, go somewhere, but it was hard for me to carry heavy bags from the store. And this despite his young age! Either I was running around (I did jogging in the morning; I was a newbie, I had to drink at least sometimes) without self-pity, or something else... And this is the result. Without it, I wouldn’t even be able to get up, I still use it, and so does my mother - age demands it, and I had cramps before it)) it helped! When I take it, I immediately get out of bed, without further ado. This is where it used to be when I was in college! There is also expensive panangin, but I didn’t like it - it’s expensive, the effect is weak, there are few pieces in the package. I recommend it even to those who have heavy workloads. Consider these vitamins for the heart: Mg, Ka, magnesium + potassium. !!!!!It has few contraindications - it cannot be used in case of renal and adrenal insufficiency, in case of dehydration. In myasthenia gravis (a disease that is accompanied by increased muscle weakness), a decrease in the speed of excitation conduction in the neuromuscular system under the influence of potassium can aggravate the condition of patients. !!!!!

Advantages:
Inexpensive, helps.
Flaws:
No.
When there are minor changes in the ECG, the doctor usually recommends taking the drug Panangin or Asparkam. Panangin is much more expensive than Asparkam, but the composition is exactly the same (contains potassium and magnesium, necessary for normal heart function). The last time I took Asparkam was when there were changes in the ECG. For two weeks I took Asparkam two tablets three times a day (after meals). I tolerated it well; Asparkam did not cause me any discomfort. Two weeks later I did a control ECG. And the ECG changes that were there before taking Asparkam disappeared. So, even cheap Asparkam helps very well. I definitely recommend it!

Recently at night my legs were cramping again. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal, but at the very least you need to wake up to stretch and relax the muscle. So I remembered Asparkam. Relatives recommended it to me for this problem. Half of them are doctors; you don’t have to go far for consultation. The active ingredient is potassium and magnesium aspartate. Which are precisely responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses by nerve fibers to the muscles and for the contraction of the latter. And if this complex process goes wrong, the muscles cramp. Does it help? If the cause of seizures is a lack of potassium and magnesium, then definitely. I think so, yes. ~~~ PRICE ~~~ My drug is produced by JSC Lugansk Chemical Pharmaceutical Plant, packaged in blasters of 50 tablets. That’s what they gave me at the pharmacy: without a cardboard box, just one blaster. But the price is low. I don’t remember how much the drug cost me, but I was left with the impression that it was for nothing. About 10 rubles. Now online pharmacies offer products from other manufacturers, mainly Pharmstandard and Pharmapol-Volga. Already more expensive, about 50 rubles. But it’s still two or three times cheaper than Panangin from the Hungarian company Gedeon Richter, whose analogue is Asparkam. And this is not the limit, Berlin-Chemie doubles the price tag once again. At one time it didn’t even occur to me to check related information. But your own health is one thing, and feedback is another. Its writing must be approached with all responsibility and seriousness. What if I was misinformed and Asparkam is not taken for seizures? As Google suggested, everything is OK, they take it precisely because of potassium and magnesium. The first website that came across, educating citizens on health issues, reported that a person needs 6 grams of potassium per day to be completely happy. The daily need for this element can be easily and pleasantly satisfied by eating just one banana. But, brothers and sisters! Not so simple! The main thing is not to overdo it. Too much is even more harmful than too little. Just 14 grams of potassium can cause death due to cardiac arrest. What happens? The therapeutic dose differs from the lethal dose by only a little more than twice? That is, bananas, which are freely available in any supermarket, in theory should not only be sold according to a list A prescription (poisons), but consumed in a hospital setting (closer to intensive care) under the supervision of a doctor. But the special services don’t know, they use umbrellas, scarves and polonium. All it takes is to send a smart-mouthed agent (Jehovah's Witnesses and peddlers will do) to treat the target with bananas and at the same time chat him up, making it difficult to count to three. Because as soon as you bite into the third banana, you're dead. I understand this: someone decided to start a website on a medical topic. Well, you can’t fill it with content yourself; that’s not a royal thing. I bought an article on the stock exchange or ordered a copywriter, and he went on the Internet, pulled up facts, put them together in a pile without thinking, and voila! — enlighten yourself, reader. ~~~ RECOMMENDATIONS ~~~ Meet your body's potassium needs with the help of the drug Asparkam. The dose is easy to calculate. It is good for the heart and helps with muscle cramps. And cheaper than Panangin, and even more so the products of Berlin-Chemie.

I have been friends with Asparkam for many years; it is a budget drug and most likely not everyone knows about it.
Asparkam contains potassium and magnesium, in fact, these are vitamins for the heart. Asparkam is often prescribed to heart patients, especially to those who take diuretics, because diuretics wash potassium out of the body, so it has to be replenished.
Previously, Asparkam cost just a penny - well, you’d pay a maximum of 20 rubles for it, but now it costs from 60 rubles per pack. There are drugs from different manufacturers, the price is also different + markup from the pharmacy.
I take courses of asparkam two or three times a year, why? The fact is that a lack of magnesium in the body leads to cramps, my ankles often cramp, that’s how I feel an unpleasant, nagging pain in my calves or ankles, I run to the pharmacy, now I know exactly the causes of cramps and how to treat them.
My husband also started taking asparkam and the same medicine, and these pills also help him.
Asparkam is simply a wonderful drug, but you need to drink quite a lot of it per day - 4-8 tablets a day and not skip it, although magnesium accumulates in the body quite quickly, and the positive effect of taking asparkam is felt within a few days.
Asparkam is considered a cheap analogue of Panangin, it’s not for nothing that I said that not everyone knows about Asparkam, because my colleagues continue to drink Panangin, but I trust Asparkam, it’s been helping out for many years now!

I learned about the drug Asparkam from a pediatric neurologist five years ago, when my son was prescribed asparkam
as an adjuvant in the treatment of diacarb, a diuretic. Diakarb was prescribed to my son for dropsy of the brain.
Since this diuretic washes out all useful substances: calcium, potassium, magnesium, etc., asparkam (magnesium asparaginate and potassium asparaginate) was prescribed.
Now I myself take asparkam as vitamins for the heart. (I just don’t like raisins, even though everyone praises them for normalizing heart function.)
And recently the packaging began to run out, I went to the pharmacy, where they said that there was no asparkam at all in the wholesale warehouse. They offer an analogue of Panangin.
I went to another pharmacy, same story.
At home I look at my empty package of Asparkam, which I was finishing, the manufacturer is there - Lugansk, OJSC "Lugansky Chemical Farm Plant" st. Kirova, 17.
So, I think there are problems with supplies...
I didn’t let up and soon they sold me Asparkam at the pharmacy, but from a different manufacturer:
CJSC Food Pharmaceutical Asparkam”, which was kept in my medicine cabinet. I started taking 1 tablet, three times a day. Heart pain has decreased significantly. Even with serious cardio loads they stopped appearing. And soon they disappeared completely. And the stress went away!

At one time I regularly went to the mineral water resort. The water there is really wonderful, but there is one “but”: it washes away potassium too much, so if you use it for a long time, it can affect the heart. This is where Asparkam came in handy: I took it one tablet a day, and no problems! Now I sometimes take it at home, especially when I feel that there is not enough potassium obtained from fruits (dried apricots, bananas, etc.) and I need to support the body.

I am involved in bodybuilding. I regularly undergo medical examinations. About 6 months ago, the ECG showed tachycardia and rhythm disturbances. We connected all this with sports. As luck would have it, at that moment I was on a weight loss program, I was losing a lot of fluid, and with it potassium. Prescribed Asparkam. A week ago I had a re-examination, everything is great! The motor works as it should, and when working out in the gym I felt that my heart was working perfectly. In general, for such a price, excellent support for the heart. Now I have decided for myself that I will regularly take the course. Still, the heart in the gym works no less than the muscles and brain.
