Mathematically accurate assembly instructions from system-vector psychology. The benefits and harms of fish oil in capsules, which drug to choose and how to take it Exact instructions for use

There are legends about Astrakhan men. Women from different parts of the country are hunting for the bright originality of our guys. But it is not so easy to curb the southerners. Precise instructions for use will help avoid incidents. On the eve of Defender of the Fatherland Day, our portal, together with photographer Pavel Simakov and the Verstak store, decided to give a gift to women who encroached on Astrakhan residents. We talk about seven types of local men and publish detailed guide on handling them.

Male pruner

“He will tell you how to cut it off” - this phrase is about him. Such a man does not like long explanations and complex phrases. With one movement, he cuts off everything unnecessary. Sharp-tongued, he has the power to both uplift and wound. Only a brave woman would dare to take possession of such a “tool.” If you use pruning shears correctly, we guarantee that you will always have freshly cut roses in your home.

On the picture: Evgeniy Builov (farmer) and pruning shears with long handles from the manufacturer stihl.

Man - spray gun


Grace and intensity are what characterize such a man. He is positive, bright and always full of ideas. You definitely won’t get bored with such a man. However, not every woman is able to cope with the creative potential of such a “tool”. Therefore, you have only one thing left: to become the same paint sprayer and paint the world in bright colors together.

On the picture: Artem Pugachev (soloist of the Astrakhan Opera and Ballet Theater) and a spray gun for precise application of paint and varnish coatings on any type of surface.

Man – construction mixer


Attention! Be careful with this man! He will win you over with his charisma. But if you get caught in the mixer's torque, don't resist. He knows exactly in what proportions to mix sensitivity, audacity and humor. With such a “tool” you will definitely be in the thick of things. Just remember: a man - a construction mixer is ready to work non-stop day and night. Therefore, you will have to periodically pull it out of the network and force it to rest.

On the picture: Eldar Abasov (businessman and photographer) and a construction mixer for mixing varnishes, paints, emulsions and building mixtures.

Man - welding machine


Energy is the main word of this man. Sparks from it fly in different directions. They are capable of blinding any woman. Not every girl can handle such a load. However, if you set up the electrodes correctly, the force and voltage of this “tool” will weld together any structures for your relationship.

Ax man


Such a “tool” must be handled with care, since the tip of the ax can cause injury. Hand forged, Brazil walnut handle – you can feel the subtlety and aesthetics in everything. This man is like an ax in the right hand, hitting right on target. He does not tolerate unnecessary movements. Do not leave the ax on the street - careless neighbors will quickly covet such an exclusive item. Follow safety rules and there will always be firewood for the fireplace in your home.

On the picture: Vadim Okorokov (press secretary, journalist, man from Babayka) and a splitting ax from the husqvarna brand (made in Sweden).

Man - Circular Saw


The wisest man. He will measure seven times and cut only once. This type sees right through you and knows exactly what you're thinking. Only a woman with a pure heart and thoughts can conquer such a man. Just like a circular saw, you should not approach it without proper preparation. However, if you show restraint, before your eyes a man - a circular saw - will build for you a “bright mansion with a balcony on the sea.”

On the picture: Evgeny Klimov (bathhouse attendant at the Tsarskaya Bathhouse) and a makita circular saw.

The man is a sledgehammer


Such an instance is capable of destroying any obstacles in its path. He will easily deal with the concrete wall of stereotypes and turn the brickwork of misunderstandings into a pile of construction debris. The sledgehammer man is sharp and precise, often principled. But if treated with care, its potential is aimed at protection and creation. Tell him more often how strong and strong he is, give him time to rest, and in your hands you will have the most faithful and reliable “tool” for creating strong family relationships.

NOTE:

Men and instruments are indeed similar in some ways. And having brought this photo project to life, we realized how much they have in common. Each of our heroes literally became close to “their” instrument, and that, in turn, reflected the character of the owner.

The following people worked on the instructions:

Elvira Imadinova, winner all-Russian competition in driving screws with a personal best of 5.7 seconds, guru of electric and gas powered tools, director of the Workbench store.

Pavel Simakov, photographer, director and connoisseur of women's hearts.

Natalia Tuigunova, journalist, editor, connoisseur of southern flavor and Astrakhan mentality.

We thank our heroes for their participation in the project, as well as Konstantin Astrakhantsev and the Kvadrat photo studio.

Over one year old

Forget about stoles, sarongs and other beach accessories designed to wrap, hide, and veil! If you choose the right swimsuit, we guarantee you won’t have to disguise yourself.

Our test will help you determine your body type, and our tips will help you choose the perfect bikini.

5 types of female figures

Determine your body type

Hourglass

You can afford almost any model. Swimsuits in the retro style that is fashionable this summer will especially suit you. In your case, a single-colored bra and panties work to “increase” your rating in the “Queen of the Beach” competition. The wide straps of the bodice, tied around the neck, provide excellent support for the bust.

Apple

Avoid bodices with ties around the neck. Wide shoulder straps provide excellent support big breasts, and additional details at the waist emphasize the natural curves of the body. Folds and decorative elements at the waist will emphasize the silhouette and distract attention from disproportionately wide shoulders. The deep V-neckline visually elongates the silhouette, and decorative belts define the waist.

Triangle

Light shades, bright prints on the bodice with a deep neckline and dark panties will set the right accents: they will increase the top and visually reduce the hips. When choosing a one-piece swimsuit, give preference to models with a V-neck. Decorative elements and prints in the bodice visually transfer the emphasis to top part housings. Always choose swimsuits with extra support in the bodice. If you have small breasts, avoid wearing teen bikinis and shorts. Strictly vertical straps and prints on the bodice will distract attention from the “heavy” bottom.

Inverted Triangle

Choose swimsuit models with a bodice with ties around the neck - this will visually reduce your shoulders. It is important that the bodice provides excellent breast support. Details on panties - belts or wide cuffs - will visually enlarge your hips and make your figure more harmonious.

Rectangle

The main task when choosing a swimsuit is to “shape” the waist with the help of decorative elements and draperies, as well as visually enlarge the bust or hips. Choose a swimsuit with a bodice and panties made in the same color scheme. In this case, panties should have high side cuts. A bodice with ties around the neck visually makes the figure more feminine. Models with asymmetrical inserts and drapes at the waist visually enlarge the hips and chest and emphasize the waist.

In contact with

  • Capsules 250 and 500 mg.
  • Pills. The content of the active substance is 250 and 500 mg.
  • Special powder for preparing the suspension.

Taking the drug by pregnant women and children

Any antibiotic has a rather aggressive effect on the body, so most of them are not prescribed to women during pregnancy and young children. Clarithromycin is widely used in the treatment of various diseases not only in adults, but also in children.

However, there is one small nuance. The drug in the form of capsules and tablets is prescribed only to those children whose age exceeds 12 years.

Dosage for children over 12 years old will be identical to the dosage regimen for adults, i.e. 250 to 500 mg twice daily. Small children are given from 7.5 to 15 mg per kilogram of weight. They are shown the drug in powder form, with which a suspension is prepared. The suspension is administered orally using a dispenser syringe containing 5 ml medications that correspond 125 mg Clarithromycin.

As for pregnant women, the issue is ambiguous.

Some experts do not recommend using this drug at all during pregnancy, but in the presence of infectious diseases, use may be permitted if the woman is in the third trimester of pregnancy.

In this case, the dosage is also 500 mg per day. Intravenous administration continues for 2-5 days, after which the patient is transferred to tablets or capsules.

When treating diseases caused by various mycobacteria, the maximum daily dose may be increased up to 1 gram per day. If the disease is severe, the maximum dose is doubled - up to 2 grams. With this regimen, treatment can continue up to six months.

If the patient is diagnosed with chronic renal failure, the dosage of Clarithromycin should be no more than 250 mg. Accordingly, the drug is taken once.

Important! The maximum daily dose for children over 12 years of age should be no more than 1 gram.

Dosage for tuberculosis

Clarithromycin is a macrolide, which means it can be used in the treatment of tuberculosis. It is used only in the composition complex therapy, together with first-line drugs - Isoniazid, Ethambutol, Rifampin etc.

Photo 1. Packaging of the drug Isoniazid in the form of tablets with a dosage of 300 mg. Manufacturer: Moskhimfarmpreparaty.

The dosage is 1 gram twice a day. The average duration of such therapy is six months.

There is a certain dependence of the dosage on the weight and age of the individual patient. For adult patients older than 18 years, dosage in the first 8 weeks - 25 mg per 1 kg of weight. Then the course changes slightly, and the dosage will be 35 mg per 1 kg of weight.

Dosage for children - 15 mg per 1 kg of weight.

  • Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin and other drugs that reduce cholesterol levels.
  • Terfenadine, Pimozide and Cisapride.

Simultaneous use with these medicines may cause significant deterioration of condition And many side effects.

Attention! Clarithromycin belongs to the category of antibiotics, therefore It is forbidden to drink alcohol with it.

The fact is that alcohol significantly weakens the effect of the drug on the body, as a result of which the patient does not receive the necessary treatment.

The antibiotic acts quite aggressively on the body. It negatively affects not only microorganisms and bacteria, but also healthy cells. If we add to this the consumption of alcoholic beverages, the body will be doubly loaded. Very much, including the liver. If the organ is healthy, it will cope with all the loads, but if there are certain problems, then complications may arise.

With extreme caution It is worth using this drug during pregnancy. Doctors allow this to be done only in the third trimester of pregnancy, but final decision The gynecologist decides on the advisability of the appointment.

Women who are breastfeeding must stop breastfeeding if you start taking this medicine. The fact is that the active components of the drugs penetrate into the mother’s milk, which can negatively affect the baby’s health.

The maximum daily dose should not exceed 2 grams, but such an amount is indicated only in individual, most severe cases. The drug belongs to the group of antibiotics, so it can negatively affect the functioning of the heart, liver, kidneys and digestive system if the dose is exceeded.

Regarding use in the treatment of tuberculosis, Clarithromycin is perceived as a drug 2 rows, i.e. it can only be used as an auxiliary tool. As a rule, the drug is taken together with Ethambutol or Rifabutin. With this method of therapy, the daily dose of the drug is 1 gram - 500 mg twice a day. Depending on the specific clinical picture of the disease, treatment can last no more than six months, but there are cases when therapy continues throughout the patient’s life.

Registration number: P N011850/01

Tradename: Postinor

International nonproprietary name:
levonorgestrel

Dosage form: pills

Compound

Each tablet contains:

Active substance: levonorgestrel 0.75 mg.
Excipients: colloidal silicon dioxide, potato starch: magnesium stearate: talc; corn starch; lactose monohydrate.

Description
Flat tablets, white or almost white, disc-shaped with a chamfer and with a circular engraving "I N O R ●" on one side.

F armacotherapy group: gestagen.

ATX Code: G03A POP

Farmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Levonorgestrel is a synthetic gestagen with a contraceptive effect, pronounced gestagenic and antiestrogenic properties. With the recommended dosage regimen, levonorgestrel suppresses ovulation and fertilization if sexual intercourse occurs in the preovulatory phase, when the possibility of fertilization is greatest. It may also cause changes in the endometrium that prevent implantation. The drug is not effective if implantation has already occurred.
Efficacy: with the help of Postinor tablets, pregnancy can be prevented in approximately 85% of cases. The more time passed between sexual intercourse and taking the drug, the lower its effectiveness (95% during the first 24 hours, 85% from 24 to 48 hours and 58% from 48 to 72 hours). Thus, it is recommended to start taking Postinor tablets as soon as possible (but no later than 72 hours) after sexual intercourse, if no protective measures have been taken. At the recommended dose, levonorgestrel does not have a significant effect on blood clotting factors, fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

Pharmacokinetics
When taken orally, levonorgestrel is rapidly and almost completely absorbed.
After taking 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel, the maximum concentration of the drug in serum equal to 14.1 ng/ml is achieved after 1.6 hours. After reaching the maximum level of concentration, the content of levonorgestrel decreases, and the half-life is about 26 hours.
Levonorgestrel is excreted approximately equally by the kidneys and through the intestines exclusively in the form of metabolites. The biotransformation of levonorgestrel corresponds to the metabolism of steroids. Levonorgestrel is hydroxylated in the liver and metabolites are excreted in the form of conjugated glucuronides. Pharmacologically active metabolites of levonorgestrel are unknown. Levonorgestrel binds to serum albumin and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Only 1.5% of the total dose is in free form, and 65% is associated with SHBG. Absolute bioavailability is almost 100% of the dose taken.

Indications for use
Emergency (postcoital) contraception (after unprotected sexual intercourse or unreliability of the contraceptive method used).

Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to any component of the drug, use in adolescents under 16 years of age, severe liver failure, pregnancy.
Patients with rare hereditary diseases such as lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption.

Carefully
Diseases of the liver or biliary tract, jaundice (including a history), Crohn's disease, lactation.

Pregnancy and lactation
Postinor should not be used during pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs while using an emergency method of contraception, then based on the available data, no adverse effect of the drug on the fetus has been identified.
Levonorgestrel passes into breast milk. After taking the drug, breastfeeding should be stopped for 24 hours.

Directions for use and doses
The drug is administered orally. You must take 2 tablets in the first 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. The second tablet should be taken 12 hours (but not later than 16 hours) after taking the first tablet.
To achieve a more reliable effect, both tablets should be taken as quickly as possible after unprotected intercourse (no later than 72 hours).
If vomiting occurs within three hours after taking 1 or 2 Postinor tablets, then you should take another Postinor tablet.
Postinor can be used at any time of the menstrual cycle. In case of irregular menstrual cycle, pregnancy must first be excluded.
After taking emergency contraception, a local barrier method (eg, condom, cervical cap) should be used until the next menstrual period. The use of the drug during repeated unprotected sexual intercourse during one menstrual cycle is not recommended due to an increase in the frequency of acyclic spotting/bleeding.

Side effect
Allergic reactions are possible: hives, rash, itching, swelling of the face.
Transient side effects, occurring with different frequencies (often: ≥1/100,<1/10, очень часто: ≥1/10) и не требующие медикаментозной терапии: часто: рвота, диарея, головокружение, головная боль, болезненность молочных желез, задержка менструации (не более 5-7 дней), если менструация задерживается на более длительный срок, необходимо исключить беременность.

When considering the benefits and harms of fish oil in capsules, it is necessary to study two directions at once.

  1. First you need to understand the effect of omega-3 acids (which is what fish oil is) on the human body.
  2. Then find out what drugs exist on the market today, what their therapeutic effect on the body is, and possible contraindications for use.

Beneficial features

  1. Improving the functioning of the nervous system (prevention of age-related cognitive impairment, combating insomnia and depression, hyperactivity syndrome in children).
  2. Preservation of visual acuity.
  3. Prevention of atherosclerosis and other diseases of the cardiovascular system.
  4. Skin rejuvenation.
  5. Improving the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
  6. Optimizing the functioning of the immune system.
  7. Prevention of cancer and early aging.

Another important explanation for the benefits of fish oil (omega-3) capsules is related to its ability to positively influence the process of weight loss. The dietary supplement helps fight insulin resistance and chronic low-grade inflammation - two main reasons for the rapid formation of excess fat deposits.

What drugs are on the market?

We have sorted out the general healing properties of fatty acids from seafood, now we need to understand what dietary supplements exist, and which drug is better to choose for children and adults.

Natural product

This type of dietary supplement is closest to real fish. The refined version is much more resistant to oxidation.

  • About 30% of this fish oil is a mixture of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
  • Another 70% are other types of fatty acids that help more fully absorb omega-3s.
  • In addition, natural fat contains vitamins A and D. And if it is fermented, then it also contains K2.

Sources include salmon, sardines and cod.

Refined version and reduced triglycerides

Refined fish oil is a concentrated product that has been removed from contaminants such as mercury. Unlike the natural one, which contains only 30% omega-3, in the refined version EPA and DHA account for 50-90% of the total mass.

Currently, the choice of fish oil is mainly from refined varieties, usually called concentrates. They come in capsules that are easy to take.

The purity and high concentration of the refined product look attractive, if not for one big “but”. Omega-3 acids of this version of the dietary supplement are in the form of ethyl esters, and therefore are extremely poorly absorbed by the human body.

Therefore, some manufacturers not only refine fish oil, but also restore omega-3 to triglycerides, which are absorbed much more fully. This is the best option for dietary supplements.

Unfortunately, the restoration procedure is expensive. Therefore, drugs with reduced triglycerides are not cheap and are not very popular.

Encapsulated Forms

Today, supplements in capsule form predominate in pharmacies. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people want to know not only what the benefits of fish oil are, but how exactly capsules with this component affect the body.

Dietary supplements in capsules have all the same properties as a pure liquid product. Only they are easy to swallow and do not have an unpleasant taste.

Many manufacturers place their capsules in a special shell that dissolves only in the intestines and not in the stomach. This makes it possible to completely avoid the occurrence of fishy burps, which can occur when using regular capsules.

What are the possible harms of capsules?

The fat may be rancid. Encapsulated forms reliably retain unpleasant taste and odor inside. This makes them easier to take. But it doesn’t make it possible to understand how fresh the oil is inside.

Unscrupulous manufacturers do not miss the opportunity to take advantage of this feature of the shell.

Therefore, if you purchased fish oil capsules, to be sure that it is not harmful, do not forget to open one and smell its contents. If the oil has gone rancid, it is better not to use it.

Instructions for use

There is no single, unambiguously verified scheme for how to properly take fish oil in capsules. Different manufacturers, different medical organizations and individual specialists offer their own dosage regimens.

Note!

The instructions for use indicate the amounts of the main fatty acids - EPA and DHA - and not the sum of all components of the drug. The amount of EPA and DHA in different medications can vary from 30 to 90%.

  • Practically healthy adults should take 250-500 mg of a mixture of EPA and DHA per day.
  • Children under 2 years of age are advised to take a daily dose of 10-12 mg of a mixture of EPA and DHA per kilogram of body weight.
  • Children over 2 years of age can take 250 mg per day.
  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women will benefit most from 200 mg of pure DHA or 300–900 mg of a mixture of EPA and DHA.
  • Adults with mild memory and cognitive impairment should take 500–1,700 mg of pure DHA per day.
  • Adults with coronary problems should drink 1000 mg of EPA and DHA daily.
  • If triglyceride levels are high, the dose should be increased to 2000 or even 4000 mg.
  • For adults with depression and/or anxiety, 200-2000 mg of omega-3 acids per day is recommended. Moreover, preference should be given to drugs with the highest possible concentration of EPA rather than DHA.

Taken with curcumin

To maximize the healing properties of fish oil capsules for adults and children, it must be taken together with curcumin. Not so long ago, scientists found that one of the most important is that it improves the absorption of docosahexaenoic acid. Therefore, it is right to take the capsules along with curcumin supplements. Or at least introduce more turmeric into your diet.

Are there any contraindications for use?

There are no strict contraindications for the use of dietary supplements with omega-3 fatty acids, including fish oil.

However, it is known that these compounds can lead to a decrease in blood clotting. The anticoagulant effect is minimal and does not pose any problem for most people. But for those who are preparing for operations, it is better to temporarily stop taking dietary supplements.

Those taking anticoagulants should consult with their doctor and only with his permission begin using omega-3 supplements.

It is worth considering the possibility of an overdose of vitamin A, which in high concentrations is dangerous for humans. There is a lot of vitamin A in cod liver oil, which is often used to produce natural dietary supplements.

In general, fish oil capsules are considered a safe dietary supplement. But still, taking more than 5 grams per day is not recommended. Since there is no longer any benefit from such a high concentration. But there may be a potential health hazard.

How is it different from omega-3 and which is better?

Fish oil capsules are just one type of dietary supplement consisting of omega-3 fatty acids. The most popular and affordable. But this is far from the only and not the best drug.

There are other types of dietary supplements with omega-3: krill and mussel oils, supplements obtained from algae and seal oil.

Such drugs are more difficult to buy and usually cost much more than fish oil. But their benefits to the body are greater, and the potential harm is less.
