Due to the complex effect of the drug has anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, analgesic, vasodilating effect on the centers of foci of inflammation. Citramon is used to reduce the effects of various low-intensity pains - headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, and occasional spasms.
It is also actively used in cases of fever during influenza. To understand what helps the drug and when it is prescribed, you need to consider its composition and action.

Composition and release form

To date, the number of manufacturers of the drug is growing steadily, and therefore the composition of Citramon will be slightly different. However, the main active substance is not subject to change.
The composition of Citramon "classic" included:
    0.25 g of acetylsalicylic acid (Acidum acetylsalicylicum);
    0.17 g phenacetin (Phenacetini);
    0.027 g of caffeine (Caffeine);
    0.021 g of citric acid (Citric acid);
    and 0.014 g cocoa.
This composition has now ceased to exist, and phenacetin has been banned from adding, as it can cause serious complications and side effects. Most often, the composition of the combined drug now includes the main three components:
    aspirin (Acidum acetylsalicylicum);
    paracetamol (Paracetamoli);
    and caffeine (Caffeine).

Different Types of Citramon

Depending on the manufacturer of the company, Citramon is a different composition and name. Today released the following varieties:
    Citramon P - contains aspirin, caffeine and paracetamol. The use of Citramon P is contraindicated in persons younger than 14 years. The dosage for adults is 1 to 2 tablets three times a day. There must be a gap between receptions (at least 6 hours).
    Citramon Forte - contains besides aspirin, caffeine and paracetamol, as well as citric acid. Auxiliary components: cocoa, potato starch, magnesium stearate. The addition of citric acid in the drug is not accidental, it stabilizes cellular respiration at the biochemical level. Citramon Forte is prescribed to persons of 14 years and above, the dosage is 1-2 tablets up to three times a day.
    Citramon Darnitsa - the most popular among the rest. Aspirin, paracetamol, caffeine, citric acid are a part. Auxiliary components: starch, cocoa, calcium stearate and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Rules of application do not differ from previous drugs.
    Citramon Ultra - consists of acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol and caffeine. Available in the form of capsules, 1-2 capsules are prescribed up to a maximum of four times a day. The daily dose should not exceed eight capsules.


Pharmacological effect

Citramon is a combination drug and its therapeutic effect is due to the properties of the active ingredients that make up it:
    Paracetamol has antipyretic and analgesic properties, as well as a moderate anti-inflammatory effect.
    Acetylsalicylic acid has inherent antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties, also this substance relieves pain caused by inflammation and reduces blood clotting, thereby stimulating blood circulation in the inflammation.
    Caffeine produces a stimulating effect on the central nervous system and stimulates the work of the psychomotor centers of the central nervous system. It increases the lumen of the blood vessels and reduces the feeling of drowsiness and fatigue. Caffeine is also known for its stimulating effects, which it produces on physical and mental activity. It has caffeine and a mild analgesic effect.

Does citramon increase or decrease pressure?

This question is often asked by patients. Due to the caffeine content, which stimulates the central nervous system, which increases tone and pressure, pressure may also increase from taking Citramon, even though it is contained in small doses. Moreover, you should be careful if you drink tea, cocoa or coffee and take Citramon - there is a risk of an overdose of caffeine. If you have low blood pressure and a headache, then in the absence of contraindications you can take a Citramon pill, which will relieve pain and increase the pressure somewhat.

    headache;
    migraine;

Citramon is unlikely to cope with severe pain, therefore, in more complex cases, agents with these effects are recommended to a greater extent.

    In patients with a predisposition to the accumulation of uric acid, taking the drug can trigger an attack of gout.
    During the reception should refrain from alcohol (increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and toxic liver damage).

    Patients with hypersensitivity or asthma-like reactions to salicylic acid and its derivatives, including acetylsalicylic acid, can be prescribed only with the observance of special precautions (in the conditions of emergency services).
    Acetylsalicylic acid has a teratogenic effect; when applied in the first trimester leads to malformations - splitting of the upper palate; in trimester III - to the inhibition of labor activity (inhibition of Pg synthesis), to the closure of the arterial duct in the fetus, which causes hyperplasia of the pulmonary vessels and hypertension in the vessels of the pulmonary circulation. It is excreted in breast milk, which increases the risk of bleeding in a child due to dysfunction of platelets.
Children under 15 years old can not prescribe drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid, because in the case of a viral infection, they can increase the risk of Reye's syndrome. Symptoms of Reye’s syndrome are prolonged vomiting, acute encephalopathy, and enlarged liver.

    Caffeine accelerates the absorption of ergotamine.
    At the same time taking the drug and alcohol-containing liquids increases the risk of toxic liver damage.
    Enhances the action of heparin, indirect anticoagulants, reserpine, steroid hormones and hypoglycemic drugs.
    Barbiturates, rifampicin, salicylamide, antiepileptic drugs and other stimulants of microsomal oxidation contribute to the formation of toxic paracetamol metabolites that affect liver function.
    Simultaneous use with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, methotrexate increases the risk of side effects.
    Reduces the effectiveness of spironolactone, furosemide, antihypertensive drugs, as well as anti-gout drugs that promote the excretion of uric acid.
    Metoclopramide accelerates the absorption of paracetamol. Under the influence of paracetamol T1 / 2 chloramphenicol is increased 5 times. With repeated use of paracetamol can enhance the effect of anticoagulants (dicoumarin derivatives).
