ATP, intramuscular injection.

Adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) is the main source of energy in the human body. Macroergic bonds promote the formation of energy in the destruction of ATP. Intramuscular input energy is used both to maintain the constant temperature of the body 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 main (energy) function, adenosine 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 the normal functioning 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 speaks about the necessity of prescribing the drug for the treatment of various kinds of dystrophies, atrophies 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 the pharmaceutical drug.

In the case when 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) can lead to the development of allergic reactions, as well as an excess of potassium and magnesium (which is fraught with cardiovascular disorders).

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 potassium and magnesium preparations and other drugs that cause stimulation of cardiac activity.

Summing up, I want to say that ATP plays a 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.
