Citramone increases or lowers blood pressure?

Often a sign of an increase or decrease in pressure is a headache of a different nature, until the onset of a migraine. Many of us with such pains turn to a popular drug - tsitramonu - which in most cases successfully copes with pains in the head. But is it always necessary to take this pill? Citramone increases or lowers blood pressure? We suggest you to understand.

How does the pressure affect citramone?

Arterial pressure is the pressure that is created in our blood vessels and, in particular, in the arteries. This pressure is necessary so that the blood can move along the circulatory system.

If the pressure is low, the blood moves too slowly, and, accordingly, it transfers the substances and oxygen necessary for the body accordingly. As a result: the body, as a rule, is cold, hungry, and from the lack of oxygen and spasm of the vessels develops a headache.

If the pressure is high, the blood moves unnaturally fast, a heavy load is placed on the heart, the person becomes hot, there is a noise in the ears, a pulsation in the temporal region. Excessive pressure on the vessels provokes the appearance of a headache.

Pressure, as is known, has two indicators: systolic and diastolic. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the vessels that arises at the time of contraction of the heart, when it pushes the flow of blood into the circulatory system. Diastolic pressure is a measure of pressure at a time when the heart relaxes after systole. Thus, the pressure 120/80 means that the human blood pressure at the time of cardiac contraction is 120 mm Hg. St., and at the time of cardiac relaxation - 80 mm Hg. Art.

On how pressure affects tsitramon, let's talk further.

Due to caffeine, citramone enhances the processes of excitation in the brain, accelerates the conduct of positive conditioned reflexes and stimulates motor activity. The result is an increase in mental and physical abilities, the elimination of a feeling of drowsiness and fatigue.

The degree of action of citramone on pressure is somewhat dependent on the characteristics of individual nervous activity. For example, in a state of collapse and shock, blood pressure values under the influence of citramone are significantly increased. With stable normal parameters, significant changes may not be observed, as along with the increase of the vascular tone and the acceleration of the heart, the drug expands the lumen of the vessels of the brain, heart, urinary system, skeletal muscles, etc. This compensates to some extent the increase in pressure, but not completely: along with the expansion of the above vessels, those vessels that are located in the organs of the abdominal cavity narrow.

The effect of citramone on blood pressure can also depend on the addiction of a particular organism to the effects of caffeine. If a person regularly drinks with caffeine (coffee, strong tea, cola, energy), then the tolerance of his body increases. As a result, the pressure can remain stable even with the use of 200-400 mg of caffeine per day. But in people who do not have caffeine tolerance, signs of an overdose can develop already when 100 mg of caffeine is consumed per day.

At what pressure do you drink Citramon?

To understand, at what pressure drink tsitramon, let's understand the composition of the drug. The main ingredients of citramone are aspirin, paracetamol and caffeine.

Aspirin - eliminates pain, inflammation, lowers the temperature, reduces blood clotting. Everyone knows that aspirin is often used to prevent the formation of blood clots in the vessels. At the same time, aspirin has no influence on the pressure in the vessels.

Let's proceed further: paracetamol is an analog of phenacetin, but less toxic. Removes swelling of tissues caused by inflammation, eliminates pain, lowers the temperature due to the effect on the centers of thermoregulation in the hypothalamus. Again, this substance does not affect the vascular pressure.

And the last ingredient is caffeine. This is where the answer to our question lies. After all, everyone knows that coffee raises pressure. This happens just at the expense of caffeine, which has the ability to increase the tone of blood vessels. Caffeine increases respiration and heart rate, eliminates fatigue, increases the mental and physical capabilities of the body, accelerates blood circulation.

Does Citramone Help Pressure?

We have already found out that citramone raises pressure. But to what extent? Does Citramone Help Reduce Pressure?

One tablet of citramone contains 30 mg of caffeine. Let's compare how much of this same substance is contained in other well-known products that are advised to use under reduced pressure:

• a cup of ground coffee - 115 mg;
• a cup of instant coffee - 65 mg;
• a cup of black tea - 40 mg;
• a cup of cocoa or hot chocolate - 4-15 mg;
• a small can of cola - 35 mg;
• tile of black chocolate (100 g) - 80 mg;
• tile milk chocolate (100 g) - 25 mg;
• a jar of energy drink - 55 mg.

Thus, it can not be denied that citramone is capable of increasing blood pressure. Two tablets of citramone - this is more than a sufficient dose in order to qualitatively affect the tone of blood vessels and blood pressure.

Does the pressure increase citramone?

Based on all of the above, we can draw the following conclusions:

• if there is a tendency of the body to hypertension, citramone can help increase the pressure;
• if a person regularly consumes caffeine, then he develops an "addictive" effect, in which a tablet of citramone can not affect the pressure in any way;
• if a person suffers from reduced pressure, then tsitramon normalizes the pressure, increasing its indices. However, for this it is recommended to drink 2 tablets at once.

So does the pressure increase citramone? In most cases, yes.

Citramon at low pressure

Targeted regular use of citramone at low blood pressure and for its prevention is recognized as not entirely correct, as regular use of caffeine increases the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Stimulate the body using coffee and frequent intake of tablets with caffeine is not recommended. First of all, it is necessary to find out the reason for the decrease in the pressure indices. Hypotension can be caused by diseases such as vegetative dystonia, weak myocardial function, post-infarction, congenital heart disease, physical overload of the body (chronic fatigue syndrome), etc.

Of course, if you take 1-2 tablets of citramone with a headache, nothing terrible will happen. But you do not need to take tablets without special need, or just to prevent low blood pressure.

Moreover, it is not recommended to take tsitramone to people suffering from liver and digestive system diseases, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A day is recommended to take no more than 4 tablets.

Citramon at high pressure

Caffeine, present in citramone, stimulates brain processes and even improves mood, but frequent use of citramone by persons prone to hypertension can lead to increased pressure. For example, taking 2 or 3 tablets of citramone at one time can lead to vasospasms and increased blood pressure.

Of course, if the body is "adapted" to a constant dose of caffeine, then the tablets of citramone may not affect the indices of pressure in any way. However, experiments with one's own health should not be done on their own: strict medical control is necessary for this.

Let's sum up a little: is citramone harmful at high pressure? Yes, it affects negatively if a person already has problems with pressure. If the pressure is stable and is within normal limits, then most likely, after taking tsitramone, it will remain so.

If the pressure is low, then taking the Citramon tablet normalizes the pressure, raising it to normal levels.

We think that we have fully answered this question. Be healthy!
