The incidence of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is gradually increasing, and the launch of Mavacamten Capsules provides a new treatment for such patients. As an effective cardiomyopathy treatment drug, it can reduce myocardial hypertrophy and heart obstruction. So, what are the precautions for the use of Mavacamten Capsules?
Precautions for the use of Mavacamten Capsules
The following are the precautions for the use of Mavacamten Capsules. Please consult a professional doctor for the specific medication process.
Take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor
Patients should take the medicine strictly according to the doctor's instructions and do not change the dose or stop using it on their own. The initial dose is usually 10 mg per day, but the doctor may gradually adjust the dose according to the patient's response, with a maximum dose of no more than 20 mg per day.
Regular follow-up
Patients should have regular medical follow-up so that the doctor can monitor the effect and safety of the treatment. This includes tests such as cardiac ultrasound to assess heart health.
Pay attention to adverse reactions
Mavacamten may cause some adverse reactions, such as dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal discomfort, arrhythmia, hypotension, and muscle weakness. If serious adverse reactions occur, such as difficulty breathing, you should seek medical attention immediately. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and patients who are allergic to Mavacamten or its ingredients are prohibited from using this drug.
Before starting Mavacamten, patients should inform their doctors of all medications they are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements, as drug interactions may cause adverse reactions.
Daily care for patients with cardiomyopathy
Daily care for patients with cardiomyopathy is a comprehensive task, mainly including the following aspects:
Reasonable diet
Patients with cardiomyopathy should pay attention to dietary adjustments and choose low-salt, low-fat, high-protein foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits. At the same time, avoid eating foods that are too salty, high in fat and high in cholesterol to reduce the burden on the heart and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Appropriate exercise
Depending on their physical condition, patients with cardiomyopathy can choose mild to moderate aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, and Tai Chi to enhance myocardial function and improve their body resistance. The intensity and time of exercise should be gradually increased to avoid excessive fatigue, and stop exercising immediately when uncomfortable symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath occur.
Regular work and rest
Patients with cardiomyopathy should maintain a regular work and rest schedule, sleep no less than 7-8 hours a day, avoid staying up late and overwork, and develop good sleeping habits to maintain the body's normal metabolism and physiological functions and reduce the burden on the heart.
Patients with cardiomyopathy should pay attention to avoid infection, have regular checkups, and actively cooperate with doctors' treatment. Through reasonable daily care, patients with cardiomyopathy can improve their quality of life and delay the progression of the disease.
