Meldonium is currently claimed to be a relatively safe agent in patients needing anti-ischaemic therapy, but there is no compelling evidence that it may be effective in improving athletic performance, nor that its administration may be safe in healthy subjects. Therefore, action should be taken to prevent the misuse of meldonium and to identify athletes who may jeopardize their health by attempting to artificially enhance performance.

Abstract

Meldonium is currently claimed to be a relatively safe agent in patients needing anti-ischaemic therapy, but there is no compelling evidence that it may be effective in improving athletic performance, nor that its administration may be safe in healthy subjects. Therefore, action should be taken to prevent the misuse of meldonium and to identify athletes who may jeopardize their health by attempting to artificially enhance performance.
