Pharmacological action
The effect of the drug is due to the properties of the substances in its composition: Peppermint oil: it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It contains many useful substances: menthol and its esters, acids (valerianic and acetic), dipentene, fellandren, etc. Thanks to this, the oil is able to expand the vessels of the heart, GM, and respiratory organs. In addition, the substances have a beneficial effect on the digestive system: relieve cramps, eliminate nausea, increase motility, reduce pressure in the colon, and neutralize flatulence. The mechanism of action of peppermint oil is achieved through the ability of its substances to irritate specific cold receptors of internal organs. Motherwort extract contains many bioactive substances (alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, etc.). Due to the combined properties of the components, the extract has a sedative and hypotensive effect: it reduces the frequency and enhances the contraction of the heart muscle, normalizes blood pressure. Ethyl -Bromoisovalerate – a combined substance with sedative, antispasmodic and hypotensive properties, can enhance the sedative effect of other medicines. The substance lowers the excitability of receptors of the nervous system, activates the inhibition of brain neurons, reduces the activity of centers that regulate the functioning of blood vessels and motor reflexes. The mechanism of exposure is similar to preparations containing valerian.

Such undesirable manifestations of the properties of the active components pass after a dosage reduction or drug withdrawal. If Corvalol-Fito is taken in a long course at a high dosage, then drug dependence may develop in patients. In addition, the body accumulates bromine, which contributes to the occurrence of bromism – a condition of chronic poisoning by a substance. As a result, the nervous system and other organs suffer. The characteristic signs of bromism are: Depressive state Apathy, not passing drowsiness Violation of motor coordination, hesitant gait Drug dependence Pale skin, tightening on the dermis, hemorrhagic diathesis Rapid weight loss Violation of the MC, erectile dysfunction Memory impairment Cognitive impairment Blood in the stool Rhinitolus tremor. If during the treatment course these or other unsuccessful conditions are manifested, the patient needs to consult his doctor.
Drug Interactionsthe effect of
drugs that depress the central nervous system enhance the effect. Phenobarbital (an inducer of microsomal oxidation) can reduce the effectiveness of drugs metabolized in the liver (including coumarin derivatives, griseofulvin, corticosteroids, oral contraceptives) and enhances the effect of topical analgesic and hypnotic drugs.
