Precardix has been introduced in Accra as a novel drug that functions as a meal supplement but also has anti-hypertensive characteristics.
PreCardix, a medication produced by the Norwegian business Marealis AS and derived naturally from shrimp shells, has previously received FDA approval for usage in Ghana, the European Union, the United States, and Canada.
When medication has not been suggested, it has been advised for use by healthy people who want to maintain their cardiovascular health.
People looking for a cheap alternative natural remedy without significant side effects, as well as people with a family history of hypertension, are also in need of a safe and effective alternative natural product to promote healthy blood pressure.
PreCardix
One was likely not to have hypertension when using PreCardix, according to Prof. Mark Tettey, a consultant cardiothoracic surgeon and director at the National Cardiothoracic Centre, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), who performed pilot intervention research on the medication among Ghanaians.
However, if you have mild to moderate hypertension, it also helps to normalise your blood pressure. If you are prehypertensive, it is likely to help you normalise your BP. You are unlikely to experience any negative effects while taking this drug, such as coughing, which is common with ACE inhibitors, the doctor added.
Production
Andreas Semmingsen, the Chief Executive Officer of Marealis AS, provided background information on PreCardix's manufacture, stating that the company is one of the leading producers and exporters of cooked and peeled prawns in the world, concentrating on developing beneficial natural products from fish industry byproducts.
He claimed that the medicine was developed without the use of any synthetic addictives, had undergone peer review, and had substantial funding for clinical research to support the product's characteristics.
It is an obtainable medication.
Last Wednesday in Accra, the meal supplement was introduced, drawing a number of prominent figures from the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
At the event, Professor Patrick Adjei, Consultant Neurologist and Head of Internal Medicine at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), stated that there was a change taking place in the globe that Ghana and, by extension, Africa, needed to help propel.
People were becoming more interested in consuming foods that they only saw as being healthy as a result of the movement, which he called the organic revolution.
In the near future, pills will be a thing of the past, according to Prof. Adjei, who described the organic revolution as the future of medicine. Instead, people would hunt for chemicals that might arise naturally and have an impact on the various ailments they had.
"We're moving towards using food as medication right now. The future of medicine lies in food. The organic revolution has made pharmaceuticals obsolete. Everyone is now interested in eating healthful meals, and if you take a close look, you'll see that soon enough, people will start considering the food's therapeutic significance.
Norwegian companies
Robert Hovde, a spokesperson from the Norwegian Embassy, said it was gratifying to know that the product was manufactured from something that was ordinarily discarded as useless.
According to him, the company was a welcome addition to Norwegian businesses looking to conduct business in Ghana and Africa.
