Andipal tablets are a mixed medication for the relief of pain caused by spasms and vascular processes. Therefore, it can be used for the symptomatic correction of many disorders, with varying effectiveness.
The list of indications described in the annotation is average, so it is difficult to clearly present the reasons.
The feasibility is determined by the attending physician; perhaps the best solution would be to use specialized single-component drugs in a larger or smaller dosage to minimize the risks of unwanted side effects.
At what pressure is the drug used?
Andipal can only be taken with high blood pressure. The drug does not treat hypotension and does not eliminate the causes of the pathology. The main effect of consuming the drug is a decrease in the intensity of symptoms accompanying high blood pressure. For this reason, Andipal is considered as an emergency drug.
The maximum level at which taking the medication is justified is 160 mmHg. At higher levels, it is not recommended to consume Andipal. This is due to the effect of bendazole in the tablets. The substance first increases blood pressure and then lowers it.
Pharmadynamics and pharmacokinetics
Andipal begins to act 15 minutes after administration. This is due to the fact that the active components of the drug are quickly absorbed into the blood. The condition of a person with high blood pressure is normalized by improving cerebral circulation and stopping the release of adrenaline.
Analgin, entering the body, helps reduce the pain symptoms of migraines. The substance also reduces the severity of swelling in soft tissues, which provokes an increase in body temperature.
Papaverine eliminates spasms of smooth muscles in the digestive organs and in the walls of blood vessels. By dilating the arteries, blood flow improves.
Dibazol reduces heart rate and normalizes breathing. Phenobarbital in the drug has a sedative effect on the cells of the central nervous system.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
This is a combined drug that has a vasodilator, analgesic and analgesic effect. A good antispasmodic , which determines the use of Andipal for blood pressure.
Metamizole sodium, which is part of the composition, reduces body temperature and relieves pain. Once in the gastrointestinal tract, the substance is well and quickly absorbed and blocks the prostaglandin system of arachidonic acid, increasing the sensitivity threshold of pain centers in the hypothalamus .
Papaverine hydrochloride dilates blood vessels (reduces the level of calcium in cells) located on the periphery and significantly reduces the overall tone of the smooth muscles of the surface of internal organs.
Bendazole is an antispasmodic, dilates blood vessels, stimulates the spinal cord, and restores nerve endings in the periphery.

Patient reviews
Alexander 34 years old . “The drug is well suited for slightly elevated blood pressure, but for people whose blood pressure rises to 200 mm Hg. he won't help. The product saves me from headaches and nausea that occurs after overwork or drinking coffee. I recommend that people who are taking medicine for the first time consult a doctor. The undeniable advantage of the medicine is its cost.”
Stanislav is 54 years old . “I took Andipal in the initial stages of the development of hypertension, when the pressure rose to 140-160 mm Hg. Art. Over time, the drug stopped helping, since the tablets only slightly lower blood pressure and are addictive if used frequently. I believe that the medicine is suitable for young people who do not suffer from chronic hypertension. For people with gastrointestinal diseases, it is better to give preference to other medications, since Andipal negatively affects the mucous membranes of the intestines and stomach.”
Elena is 41 years old . “My parents have been drinking Andipal since 2010. Recently, the drug has stopped helping due to the fact that addiction to its components has occurred. During treatment, parents noted a side effect – nausea.”
Svetlana, 36 years old . “I had to take Andipal while on vacation. After drinking whiskey I had a severe headache. I drank the drug at risk to my health, since the medicine is not compatible with alcohol. Fortunately, there were no adverse reactions. I advise anyone who is planning to undergo a course of medication to consult a doctor first. This medicine has many side effects."
Tatyana, 38 years old . To take the drug as an antipyretic or analgesic, it is necessary to control the blood pressure level. The product is not suitable for people suffering from low blood pressure. These tablets help me with hypertension associated with changing weather or stress. Among the main advantages I can note the low cost. The only drawback of the product is the lack of instructions for use.
