As a rule, adult patients three times a day, make an appointment 15-20 drops. In case of tachycardia single dose can be increased up to 40-50 drops. Dosage of medicines for children will be established on the basis of the clinical picture of the disease. Often, the doctor produces the purpose of medication at the rate of one drop for each year of baby's life. Data on the duration of the course of treatment “Valocordin" instructions for use does not contain. This information should be clarified with your doctor.
All three of the medication to have the same properties. To provide a sedative effect on the body, reduce stimulation of the CNS is able and medicine is “Valocordin” and “Valocordin” and “calm”. “What is the difference between these drugs in this case?” - often ask patients. Let's face it.
Phenobarbital, included in the composition of these medicines, everywhere in the world recognizes the hard drug. It was first produced in 1912 year in Germany, under the trademark "Luminal". Up to 50-ies of the drug in Europe was considered as the most popular sedative. Epileptics with it removed spasms, ladies soothed my delicate psyche, and the rest is simply get rid of insomnia. The drug "Luminal" had a lot of contraindications due to the ability to accumulate in the body. Some have even used it as a reliable method to settle scores with life.
The Germans tried to find a way to reduce the harm of drugs "Luminal", while maintaining its useful properties. As a result, in 1934, the year Germany was created by the drug “Valocordin” representing a composition of phenobarbital, the compounds of valerenic acid and bromine, oil of peppermint and hop cones. All in all, these ingredients have the ability to dilate blood vessels, to comfort, to bestow sleep.
During the Second world war, the production of the drug “Valocordin” was suspended, and resumed it only in 50 years. In the difficult post-war period, when millions of people moved away from experienced stress, drug enjoyed great popularity. It did not remain hidden from the attention of the Sovietpharmacologists. So, in 1960-m to year, without further ADO, Kyiv pharmaceutical plant named after Mikhail Lomonosov began to produce similar means “Valocordin” the drug “sage”. The only difference from German medication was the fact that the composition of the droplets of the Soviet production was absent, hop oils. Perhaps it was excluded that was not quite so banal theft. Then, on the basis of the plant was established pharmaceutical company “products”, which to this day produces all of the known drops.
Later in Russia also began to produce the drug “Valocordin” - a complete analogue of the German means “Valocordin" (with the presence in the hop oil). Now in the free market includes both domestic drug production and “Valocordin” and “calm”. What is the difference between these drugs, except that one of them has oregano oil, but in another not? Except the price. For a bottle of drops “Valocordin” a volume of 15 ml have to give on average 40-50 rubles, while the 25-ml bottle of drops “sage” will cost 15-20 rubles.
By the way, the German drug “Valocordin” can also be bought at any pharmacy, but it all three drugs is the most expensive – bottle of drops with a volume of 20 milliliters is 65-85 rubles. Meanwhile in Germany, the medication is no longer used. Pharmaceutical company Krewel Meuselbach GmbH produces exclusively for export to countries of the former USSR.
A Rather well tolerated medicine “Valocordin”. Reviews show that drops even for long-term use does not cause negative effects. Some people have noted the emergence of daytime sleepiness and slight dizziness after taking the drug. Despite these, for the most part optimistic feedback to take drops for a long time is strongly discouraged.
First, if to calm himself so constantly, the activity of the drug will gradually decline, will have to use the drops more and more and more to achieve the desired result. Secondly, regular use means or use it in large doses can lead to chronic poisoning bromine, and this is manifested in the form of apathy, depressive moods, coordination disorders, hemorrhagic diathesis, conjunctivitis, rhinitis.
Studies show that constant use of large doses of medication suppress sexual function, causes serious cognitive and neurological deficits, including problems with speech, memory, unsteadiness of gait. In the presence of such of the phenomena of the patient is necessary to send urgently to the experts: psychiatrist, narcologist.
In medical practice there are cases when the patient after administration for three days of 125 milliliters of droplets with acute phenobarbital poisoning were hospitalized in Toxicological office. Indeed, this substance is psychotropic. Has repeatedly made attempts to ban sale of the medicines containing phenobarbital, but still they didn't succeed – to buy drops at the pharmacy not even need a prescription from your doctor.
Meanwhile, in some countries, for example, in the United States, Lithuania, these medications are fully recognized as drugs, their importation and sale prohibited. However, our compatriots situation is not scary. Many people, particularly the elderly, simply can not live without drugs such as “sage” or “Valocordin”. Reviews patients report that no other medicines are not able to eliminate heart pain and soothe so effectively. It is obvious that such conclusions are erroneous.
When expressed violations of the liver, kidney, and in the periods of pregnancy and lactation you must refuse to accept the means “Valocordin”. Application instruction specifies the contraindications hypersensitivity to included in a component.
Mild or moderate intoxication is manifested psychomotor disorders, drowsiness, dizziness. With a strong overdose impaired breathing, reduced peripheral reflexes, falling blood pressure, tachycardia occurs. All can result in vascular collapse, coma and even death.
The Active ingredients of the drug “Valocordin” in the case of simultaneous reception of tranquilizers and neuroleptics increases, and with CNS stimulants – is weakened. Drinking alcohol increases the toxicity of the drug. Should not take drops along with the drugs, metabolism which occurs in the liver, because phenobarbital can induce hepatic enzymes and thus accelerate metabolism and, consequently, reduce the effectiveness of such medicines.
