Adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) is athe main source of energy in the human body. Macroergic bonds promote the formation of energy during the destruction of ATP. Intramuscular input energy is used both to maintain the constancy of body temperature and its organs, and to reduce muscle fibers. All the biochemical processes in the human body that take place with the release of energy, one way or another, are related to the action of ATP.
In addition to its basic (energy) functionadenosine triphosphate serves as a source for the synthesis of various nucleic acids, performs the regulatory function of most enzymatic processes (by integrating into the center of the enzymatic system and monitoring its activity) and participates in the transmission of nerve impulses. Among other things, adenosine triphosphate is a precursor (source of synthesis) of monophosphate, which facilitates the transfer of hormonal signals to cells and tissues of the human body.
The great importance of ATP for normalfunctioning of the human body caused the need to create a drug on its basis. This drug exists in various forms of release (in the form of powder, tablets and injections). The most common were injections of ATP. The arrival of the active substance in the tissue in this case occurs almost instantaneously. As a result, the effect of the drug is accelerated and the effectiveness of ATP is increased. The instruction says that it is necessary to prescribe a drug for the treatment of various kinds of dystrophy, atrophy and the usual spastic condition of peripheral vessels. In addition, the drug is successfully used by athletes for rapid recovery after exhausting workouts, as well as to increase stamina and performance. This tool is almost indispensable in the period of pre-competitive training of athletes.
ATP is intramuscularly used to restore normal heart function, improve blood supply to the brain and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.
The use of tablet forms of the drug (mainly for sublingual use) is carried out in preventive cases.
If the patient has vegetovascular dystonia, arrhythmia or cardiosclerosis, ATP is administered intramuscularly.
The use of the drug for more than a month is not recommended. In this case, you need to take a break for two to three weeks, and then continue to take a pharmaceutical drug.
In the case where ATP is not intramuscularly introduced,is taken parenterally, there is a risk of side effects. First of all, the adenosine triphosphate intake causes discomfort in the esophagus and stomach, nausea and even vomiting. Exceeding the maximum daily dose (about 600 milligrams for an adult and about 250 for a child) of the drug can lead to the development of allergic reactions, as well as an excess of potassium and magnesium (which is fraught with disorders in the cardiovascular system).
Contraindications for the use of the drug:
- diagnosed myocardial infarction
- the presence of a stroke
- bronchial asthma
- pregnancy and lactation
- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug
Refuse the use of ATP is necessary for patients who use drugs of potassium and magnesium and other drugs that cause stimulation of cardiac activity.
Summing up, I want to say that ATP is playinga significant role in the human body, being the central link in all its energy processes, and its use as a medicine is often not only justified, but also necessary.
