PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Combined drug, the effect of which is due to the properties of its constituent substances.
Has a sedative and spasmolytic effect. Facilitates the onset of natural sleep.
Ethyl bromizovalerianate (ethyl ester of alpha-bromizovaleric acid) has a sedative (similar to the valerian effect) and spasmolytic effect due to irritation of predominantly oral and nasopharyngeal receptors, a decrease in reflex excitability in the central parts of the nervous system, and increased inhibition in neurons of the cortex and subcortical structures of the brain, and also a decrease in the activity of the central vasomotor centers and a direct local antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle.

Phenobarbital enhances the sedative effect of other components, helps to reduce excitation of the central nervous system (CNS) and facilitates the onset of sleep.

Peppermint oil has a reflex vasodilating, spasmolytic, mild choleretic, antiseptic effect.
The mechanism of action is associated with the ability to irritate the "cold" receptors of the oral mucosa and reflexively expand primarily the vessels of the heart and brain. Eliminates the phenomena of flatulence due to irritation of the receptors of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), strengthening the peristalsis of the intestine.
INDICATIONS

Corvalol is prescribed as a symptomatic (soothing and vasodilating) remedy for functional disorders of the cardiovascular system, neurosis-like conditions, accompanied by increased irritability, with disturbed sleep, tachycardia, a state of excitation with pronounced vegetative manifestations;
as an antispasmodic - for intestinal spasms.
DOSING MODE

The dose is set individually.
Take in, before eating, drink with water. Adults, as a rule, appoint 1-2 tablets 2 times a day. With tachycardia, a single dose can be increased to 3 tablets. The maximum daily dose is 6 tablets.
Duration of the drug is determined by the doctor individually.

It is recommended to refrain from engaging in potentially dangerous activities that require a high concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions (including vehicle management and work with complex mechanisms).

OVERDOSE

Symptoms: depression of the central nervous system, nystagmus, ataxia, lowering of blood pressure, excitation, dizziness, weakness, chronic intoxication with bromine (depression, apathy, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, hemorrhagic diathesis, impaired coordination of movements).

Treatment: discontinuation of the drug, gastric lavage and symptomatic therapy, with CNS depression - caffeine, niketamide.

DRUG INTERACTION

Drugs that depress the central nervous system, enhance the effect of the drug.

Phenobarbital (inducer of microsomal oxidation) can reduce the effectiveness of drugs metabolized in the liver (including coumarin derivatives, griseofulvin, glucocorticosteroids, oral contraceptives);
strengthens the action of local anesthetic, analgesic and hypnotics. The drug increases the toxicity of methotrexate.
The effect of the drug increases with the use of drugs valproic acid.
